Rapid and accurate identification of Campylobacter-positive broiler flocks and carcasses expedites separation and control interventions before release into the food supply chain and directly facilitates a reduction in the prevalence of human campylobacteriosis. In this study, the diagnostic performance of fluorescent loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays for the direct detection of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli in broiler cloacal and cecal samples were evaluated and compared with that of turbidimetric LAMP approaches investigated previously. The duplex fluorescent LAMP assay had significantly higher ( P < 0.05) diagnostic sensitivity (93.1%, 54 of 58 samples) than did the turbidimetric LAMP assay (82.8%, 48 of 58 samples) for detecting C. jejuni and C. coli in broiler cloacal samples, whereas the singleplex fluorescent LAMP assay had equivalent diagnostic sensitivity. For cecal samples, the diagnostic sensitivity of the fluorescent LAMP assay (100%, 38 of 38 samples) was the same as that of the turbidimetric LAMP. Fluorescent LAMP significantly reduced ( P < 0.05) the maximum detection time for Campylobacter-positive cloacal and cecal samples to 28 and 11 min, respectively, and reduced the influence of amplification inhibitors responsible for most false-negative results obtained for cloacal samples with the turbidimetric LAMP assay. The diagnostic accuracy of the fluorescent LAMP assay for the direct detection of C. jejuni and C. coli in cloacal and cecal samples was 97.7 and 100%, respectively. These findings indicate that fluorescent LAMP assays are robust, highly accurate, and field-applicable methods for the identification of C. jejuni and C. coli, which will allow more accurate monitoring of food safety at various stages of the food supply chain at farms and slaughter facilities.

Introduction: Tear exchange during contact lens wear is essential for ocular surface integrity, facilitating debris removal, and maintaining corneal metabolism. Fluorophotometry and fluorogram methods are typically used to measure tear exchange, which require hardware modifications to a slit lamp biomicroscope. This manuscript introduces an alternative method using a corneoscleral profilometer, the Eye Surface Profiler (ESP), to quantify tear exchange during corneal and scleral rigid lens wear by assessing fluorescence intensity changes over time.

Multiplex digital nucleic acid analysis (NAA) allows the precise quantification of multiple target nucleic acids with single-molecule sensitivity, making it highly appealing for life science research and clinical diagnostics. Nucleic acid-guided endonucleases, such as CRISPR, have demonstrated great potential in digital NAA. However, performing multiplex digital NAA with an endonuclease remains challenging.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected global health, economies, and societies, and highlighted the urgent need for rapid, sensitive, affordable, and portable diagnostic devices for respiratory diseases, especially in areas with limited resources. In recent years, there has been rapid development in integrated equipments using microfluidic chips and biochemical detection technologies. However, these devices are expensive and complex to operate, showing limited feasibility for in point of care tests (PoCTs).

A series of flexible polyacrylonitrile/TiO (PAN/P25) multi-porous nanotubular membranes were successfully constructed by facile electrospinning combined with an ethylene glycol solvothermal induce strategy. The effects of P25 dosage and solvothermal time on the morphology of samples were systematically investigated, which were characterized in terms of surface morphology, microstructure, specific surface area, thermal analysis, wettability, photoelectrochemical and fluorescence spectra. Rhodamine B (RhB) and () were employed as simulated pollutants to evaluate photocatalytic degradation and antibacterial properties of the PAN/P25-3 multi-porous nanotubular membrane.

Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is a commonly used antibiotic, but its abuse may cause bacterial resistance, posing a high risk to the environment and human health. Herein, based on the molecular imprinting technology, this study proposed a ratiometric fluorescence sensor employing the "post-doping" strategy, which aims to be rapid, selective, and visually easy-to-use for CIP detection to address antibiotic residues and environmental risks. Specifically, by exploiting the "antenna effect" of lanthanide metal ions (Ln), terbium (III) (Tb) chosen as a fluorescence-assisted functional monomer as well as the red emitting CdTe quantum dots (QDs) as the internal reference signal were introduced into multi-emission Tb-CdTe@SiO@MIPs (TbMIPs).
