As a major metabolite of pyrethroid pesticides, 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA) can be an indicator of health risk and human exposure assessment. Based on nanobodies (Nbs), we have developed a rapid flow-through dot enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (dot ELISA) and gold nanoparticle (GNP) lateral-flow immunoassay for detecting 3-PBA. The limit of detection (LOD) values for detecting 3-PBA by flow-through dot ELISA and GNP lateral-flow immunoassay were 0.01 ng mL and 0.1 ng mL, respectively. The samples (urine and lake water) with and without 3-PBA were detected by both nanobody-based flow-through dot ELISA and GNP lateral-flow immunoassay, as well as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for validation. There was good consistency between the results of the immunoassays. This demonstrated that the two developed nanobody-based immunoassays are suitable for rapid detection of 3-PBA.

Background: Hearing loss is a common sensorineural dysfunction with a high incidence in China. Although genetic factors are important causes of hearing loss, hearing-related gene detection has not been widely adopted in China.
Objective: Establishing a rapid and efficient method to simultaneously detect hotspot hearing loss gene mutations.
Membrane-Fabric Composite Filter Media for Continuous Cake Filtration without Gas Throughput Using Paste Dot Coating with Adhesive.

In the field of liquid filtration, the realization of gas throughput-free cake filtration has been investigated for a long time. Cake filtration without gas throughput would lead to energy savings in general and would reduce the mechanically achievable residual moisture in filter cakes in particular. The reason why gas throughput-free filtration could not be realized with fabrics so far is that the achievable pore sizes are not small enough, and that the associated capillary pressure is too low for gas throughput-free filtration.

Bottom-up-synthesized graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are an emerging class of designer quantum materials that possess superior properties, including atomically controlled uniformity and chemically tunable electronic properties. GNR-based devices are promising candidates for next-generation electronic, spintronic, and thermoelectric applications. However, due to their extremely small size, making electrical contact with GNRs remains a major challenge.

The in situ change in oil flow behavior inside propped fractures due to wettability alteration of proppant grains and fracture surfaces was thoroughly investigated for the first time in this study. A series of microscale flow experiments were performed in mixed-wet fractured and propped miniature ultra-tight carbonate cores where the effect of wettability on oil bridging and fracture oil layer integrity was probed during oil production. During the initial production, proppant wettability changed toward an intermediate-wet state (contact angle (CA) = 96°) while that of fracture surfaces became strongly oil-wet (CA = 139°).

The development of amine-functionalized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) linked to mycolic acids (MAs) as a potential fluorescent biosensor to detect tuberculosis (TB) biomarkers is described. GQDs have attractive properties: high fluorescence, excellent biocompatibility, good water solubility, and low toxicity. MAs are lipids that are found in the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that are antigenic, however, they are soluble only in chloroform and hexane.
