Transition metal sulfides are important candidates of battery-type electrode materials for advanced supercapatteries due to their high electric conductivity and electrochemical activity. The Co9S8@Ni3S2/ZnS composite microplate array was prepared by a metal-organic framework-assisted strategy because the electrochemical properties of composite arrays are governed by the synergistic effects of their diverse structures and compositions. As a battery-type material, the Co9S8@Ni3S2/ZnS electrode expressed an ultrahigh areal specific capacity of 8192 C cm-2 at the current density of 2 mA cm-2, and excellent cycling stability of 79.7% capacitance retention after 4000 cycles. An assembled supercapattery device using the Co9S8@Ni3S2/ZnS microplate array as a positive electrode and active carbon as the negative electrode delivered a high energy density of 0.377 mW h cm-2 at a high power density of 1.517 mW cm-2, and outstanding retention of 95.2% after 5000 cycles. As a result, the obtained Co9S8@Ni3S2/ZnS shows potential for applications in high-performance supercapattery.

Understanding communication among microorganisms through the array of signal molecules and establishing controlled signal transfer between different species is a major goal of the future of biotechnology, and controlled multispecies bioreactor cultivations will open a wide range of applications. In this study, we used two quorum-sensing peptides from - namely, the competence and sporulation factor (CSF) and (PhrF)-to establish a controlled interkingdom communication system between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. For this purpose, we engineered as a reporter capable of detecting the CSF and PhrF peptides heterologously produced by the yeast .

The stem bark of black locust ( L.) was extracted, and nine antioxidant compounds (-) were detected by high-performance thin-layer chromatography combined with the radical scavenging 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) assay, multi-detection, and heated electrospray high-resolution mass spectrometry. For structure elucidation, the methanolic crude extract was fractionated by solid-phase extraction, and the compounds were isolated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection.

A 96-well microplate-based protein microarray chip which can simultaneously detect three different families of antibiotics using a multiplexed approach has been developed for the first time. All steps in the microarray chip can be completed through an automated biochip analyzer, enabling high throughput analysis of 96 samples within 60 min according to the set program. The microarray chip can be visually evaluated by the color depth of array points, and can also be quantified through a scanner.

S-1 MitoPlates™ from Biolog enable the characterization of mitochondria's function in live cells by measuring the rates of electron flow into and through the electron transport chain from different NADH or FADH producing metabolic substrates. This technology uses 96-well microplates pre-coated with triplicate repeats of a set of 31 substrates. Those 31 metabolic substrates have different routes of entry into the mitochondria, use different transporters, and are also oxidated by different dehydrogenases, producing reducing equivalents in the form of NADH or FADH.

Allergen-specific antibodies (Abs), IgE, and IgG4 increase during the early phase of oral immunotherapy (OIT) of allergen food in patients; subsequently, IgE levels decrease and specific IgG4 levels increase after successful OIT treatment. The detailed profile of these Abs during OIT remains largely unclear. We developed a diagnostic tool to assess the OIT efficacy and extent of responsiveness based on a profiling method by identifying epitopes recognized by the Ab classes of IgE or IgG4.
