Food pathogens frequently cause foodborne diseases. There is a need to rapidly identify the
source of the bacteria in order to contain their spread and epidemics. A pre-enrichment …

The field of biosensor development now encompasses several areas specifically geared
toward the rapid and sensitive detection, identification, and quantification of target analytes …

A novel handheld optical sensor for quantification of fluorescent microarrays, the so-called
portMD-113 has been developed. On the surface of a planar waveguide, the spots of …

A point-of-need fluorescent microarray assay is a promising tool for on-site high-throughput
and multiplex detection. However, its low-cost and portable read-out system, based on an …

We describe a microfluidic concentration device to accelerate the surface hybridization
reaction between DNA and morpholinos (MOs) for enhanced detection. The microfluidic …

A portable system for fluorescence measurement has been developed for cyanobacteria
detection. Exploiting commercially available low-cost photodiodes and a single 9 V supply …

Food pathogens are the cause of foodborne epidemics, therefore there is a need to detect
the pathogens in food productions rapidly. A pre-enrichment culture followed by selective …

Gold immunochromatographic assay (GICA) is widely used for quantitative measuring the
concentration of the target analyte in samples. In this paper, a new low-cost quantitative …

There is a need to identify the presence of bacterial pathogens in foods earlier than it is
currently carried out. At present, pre-enrichment culture followed by selective agar plating is …

The efficiency of hybridization analysis with oligonucleotide microarrays depends heavily on
the method of detection. Conventional methods based on labeling nucleic acids with …
