AI Article Synopsis
- A new solid-phase analysis method for viral antigens uses Staphylococcus aureus (Cowan 1 strain) as a label.
- The analysis outcome is visually assessed through bacterial agglutination, where the degree of clumping indicates the amount of antigen bound to antibodies.
- Staining with methylene blue enhances result readability, making this method simple, specific, sensitive, and applicable for diagnosing various infectious diseases.
Article Abstract
A new method of solid-phase analysis of viral antigens in which St. aureus, strain Cowan 1, was used as a label is described. The result of analysis is read visually by bacterial agglutination. The degree of agglutination of the staphylococcal diagnosticum corresponds to the amount of the antigen bound with antibodies immobilized on the solid phase. Staining of Staphylococcus with methylene blue simplifies reading of the results. The method has been shown to be sufficiently simple, specific, sensitive, and may be used for diagnosis of different infections diseases.

Introduction: Synthetic anabolic hormones, which may pose a potential risk to human health, should not be used in fattening food-producing animals. Because of the hormonal effects they cause, growth-promoting compounds are banned by legislation in the EU for use in animal husbandry. Consequently, all EU member states are required to conduct monitoring tests on the content and residues of these compounds in prescribed biological matrices to ensure the safety of food consumers.

The clinical diagnosis of dermatophytosis and identification of dermatophytes face challenges due to reliance on culture-based methods. Rapid, cost-effective detection techniques for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been developed for other microorganisms, but their application to dermatophytes is limited. This study explores using VOCs as diagnostic markers for dermatophytes.

Mycotoxins are detectable in 60-80% of food crops, posing significant threats to human health and food security, and causing substantial economic losses. Most mitigation approaches focus on detecting mycotoxins with standard methods based on liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Typical MS methods require extensive sample preparation and clean-up due to the matrix effect, followed by time-consuming LC separation, complicating the analysis process and limiting analytical throughput.

The solid phase composition in oily sludge (OS) is a key factor affecting the oil-solid separation of OS. In this paper, the effects and mechanisms of solid-phase particle factors on the oil content of residue phase were investigated in order to improve the oil-solid separation efficiency. Flotation experiments were carried out on single-size sand and mixed-size sand OS consisting of three particle sizes at room temperature without adding flotation reagents.

The level of the human body's burden of benzophenone and camphor ultraviolet (UV) filters can be estimated from their urinary levels. The present study describes the implementations and validation of the sensitive analytical method for the analysis of seven benzophenone and two camphor UV filters in urine. Sample preparation includes overnight enzymatic hydrolysis and ethyl acetate extraction followed by purification by dispersive solid-phase extraction using a sorbent Z-Sep.
