During an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), real-time reverse transcription-PCR (rRT-PCR) is the most commonly used diagnostic method to detect viral RNA. However, while this assay is often conducted during the outbreak period, there is an inevitable risk of carryover contamination. This study shows that the carryover contamination can be prevented by the use of target-specific restriction endonuclease in that assay.

Managing deoxynivalenol (DON) risks is crucial for the sustainability of small grain farms. One approach involves profitable utilization of contaminated grain resources, addressing potential losses from food safety concerns. This study explored distillation as a high-value alternative for utilizing DON-contaminated grain.

Pythiosis, caused by , is a severe infectious disease affecting humans and animals worldwide. There is an urgent need for a simple and rapid detection method for pythiosis, especially in remote areas where this disease is prevalent. To address this, a colorimetric loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay (c-LAMP) using hydroxynaphthol blue dye as a color indicator has been developed.

Cell sampling is a key step performed regularly throughout the cell manufacturing process to gather cell samples for cell growth, progress, and characteristics analysis. While the current method of sampling by pipetting in a biosafety cabinet is commonly used, it is labour-intensive and susceptible to contamination risks. We have developed Device for Automated Aseptic Sampling (DAAS), to enable automated, small volume (0.
