All pharmaceutical manufacturers are required to verify that their production equipment is free from contaminants. Here, we report the capability of a fully automated portable capillary electrophoresis instrument with an integrated sample swab extraction - the Grey Scan ETD-100 - for the detection of pharmaceutical residues on surfaces of manufacturing equipment. Lidocaine was used as a model compound and could be recovered from a surface by swabbing, extracted from the swab, and analysed within 1 min. The recovery of lidocaine from a stainless-steel coupon was 81.3 %, with a LOD of 0.13 µg/swab. This fast, sensitive, and simple method implemented on a user-friendly portable CE instrument without the need for manual sample pre-treatment provides the possibility for on-site rapid determination of equipment cleanliness in the pharmaceutical industry.

As many as one in three people worldwide have anemia, with young children at increased risk of both disease and complications. In settings without clinical laboratories, portable hemoglobinometers serve important roles in diagnosing anemia and estimating prevalence. Here, we assess the validity of two such point-of-care devices-the HemoCue Hb201 and the HemoCue Hb301-relative to the international reference standard, the cyanmethemoglobin method.

Objectives: The measurement of fasting glucose is a common practice for lowering the risk of hyperglycemia before an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). In this study we analyze advantages and limitations of near-patient measurement of capillary fasting glucose with a portable glucometer or blood sampling and measurement of plasma glucose with laboratory instrumentation.
Methods: The final study population consisted of 241 subjects (mean age: 36 ± 8 years; 97.
Target-driven functionalized DNA hydrogel capillary sensor for SARS-CoV-2 dual-mode detection.

Coronavirus disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused secondary pandemic, which still poses a serious threat to physical health and economic development. Herein, the target-driven functionalized DNA hydrogel capillary sensor based on cascade signal amplification and carbon coated cobalt manganese modified by prussian blue and platinum nanoparticles (MnCo@C-Pt-PB NPs) has been successfully developed for dual-mode detection of SARS-CoV-2. The cascade signal amplification triggered by target RNA causes the permeability of the DNA hydrogel loaded in the capillary to be destroyed, thereby releasing the embedded MnCo@C-Pt-PB NPs as signal molecules into 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine/hydrogen peroxide (TMB/HO) solution under the driving of capillarity.

Dipicolinic acid (DPA) is a key biomarker of bacterial spores. In this study, we present a novel distance-based paper analytical device (d-PAD) for the fluorescence sensing of DPA. The detection mechanism relies on the complexation of ofloxacin (OFL) with Cu ions, where Cu quenches the fluorescence of OFL static quenching.

Hemoglobin (Hb) measurement is a fundamental biological test, especially in emergency situations where rapid medical decisions are required. Portable hemoglobinometers, such as HemoCue®, provide a delocalized solution for capillary whole blood. The SFBC's POCT News and Issues working group designed and conducted two national surveys to assess the use and management of these devices, both on the clinical and biological side, with 306 and 160 responses respectively.
