Diagnosis is a fundamental stage in health care and medical treatment. Microfluidic biosensors and lab-on-a-chip devices are amongst the few practical tools for achieving this goal. A new computational code, specifically for designing microfluidic-integrated biosensors is developed, the details of which is presented in this work. This new approach is developed using control-volume based finite-element (CVFEM) method and solves bio-recognition chemical reactions and full Navier-Stokes equations. The results of the proposed platform are validated against the experimental data for a microfluidic based biosensor, where excellent agreement is achieved. The properties of the biosensor, sample, buffer fluid and even the microfluidic channel can easily be modified in this platform. This feature provides the scientific community with the ability to design a specific biosensor for requested point-of-care applications.•A new approach is developed using control-volume based finite-element (CVFEM) method for investigating flow inside a microfluidic-integrated biosensor. It is also used to study the influence of surface functionalization on binding cycle.•The proposed model solves bio-recognition chemical reactions as well as full Navier-Stokes and energy equations. Experimental-based or personalized equations of the chemical reactions and flow behaviour are adoptable to this code.•The developed model is Fortran-based and has the potential to be used in both industry and academia for biosensing technology.

Rationale: Local anesthesia is a widely used technique for emergency wound closure, with lidocaine among the most commonly employed local anesthetics. Allergic reactions to lidocaine are rare, with anaphylaxis being even more uncommon.
Patient Concerns And Diagnosis: This report describes a 72-year-old male patient who presented with a right foot injury and underwent wound suturing under lidocaine local anesthesia.

Herein, we investigate the effects of ligand design on the nuclearity and reactivity of metal-ligand multiply bonded (MLMB) complexes to access an exclusively bimetallic reaction pathway for C-H bond functionalization. To this end, the diiron alkoxide [Fe(Dbf)] () was treated with 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl azide to access the diiron imido complex [Fe(Dbf)(μ-NCHF)] () that promotes hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) from a variety of C-H and O-H bond containing substrates. A diiron bis(amide) complex [Fe(Dbf)(μ-NHCHF)(NHCHF)] () was generated, prompting the isolation of the analogous bridging amide terminal alkoxide [Fe(Dbf)(μ-NHCHF)(OCH)] () and the asymmetric pyridine-bound diiron imido [Fe(Dbf)(μ-NCHF)(NCH)] ().

Multipalladium clusters possess peculiar structures and synergistic effects for reactivity and selectivity. Herein, -symmetric tripalladium clusters (, 0.5 mol %) afford C-regioselective SMCC of 2,4-dibromopyridine with phenylboronic acids or pinacol esters (C:C up to 98:1), in contrast to Pd(OAc) in ligand-free conditions.

Lignin degradation by biocatalysts is a key strategy to develop a plant-based sustainable carbon economy and thus alleviate global climate change. This process involves synergy between ligninases and auxiliary enzymes. However, auxiliary enzymes within secretomes, which are composed of thousands of enzymes, remain enigmatic, although several ligninolytic enzymes have been well characterized.

Reductive phosphatization is an original synthesis approach to the formation of transition metal phosphates (TMPs). The approach enables the synthesis of known TMPs, but also new compounds, especially with transition metals in a low-valent state. However, to exploit the enormous potential of this synthesis method, it is necessary to identify and characterize all of the potential intermediates and final synthesis products.
