Background: Highly sensitive and rapid analysis of food contaminants is of great significance for food safety control. Aptamer is a new kind of recognition molecules which could be applied for constructing homogeneous analysis assays, potentially achieving highly sensitive, cheap and rapid profiling of food contaminants. Methods: An overview of the literature concerning the homogeneous analysis of food contaminations bas Read More

Background: The huge quantity of wastewater, containing poisonous and hazardous dyes, is released by various industries which pollute water in direct and indirect ways. Most of the dyes are a dangerous class of water contaminants which have affected the environment drastically. Some dyes such as congo red, rhodamine B, methylene blue, methyl violet, and crystal violet are a serious threat to human beings. Remediati Read More

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microbes become resistant to antibiotics causing complications and limited treatment options. AMR is more significant where antibiotics use is excessive or abusive and the strains of bacteria become resistant to antibiotic treatments. Current technologies for bacteria and its resistant strains identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) are mostly central-la Read More

Background: Biopharmaceuticals are biological drugs consisting of a complex compound that can be produced by a living organism or derive from it. Biopharmaceuticals are very complicated compounds from structural point of view and for this reason, they cannot be fully characterized in terms of their structure with current analytical methods as it happens instead of low molecular weight chemicals drugs. Introduction: Th Read More

Background: Chiral separation involves many phenomena in which the elution order of the enantiomers has its unique position. The phenomenon of elution order of the enantiomers has also been used in the determination of optical purity which is favorable to elute the major component after minor enantiomeric impurity but the main problem is that, this phenomenon is rare. Results: This review rumors the reversal order of el Read More

Background: The sperm plasma membrane meets the requirements of sperm transit through the female genital tract and subsequent fertilization. Commonly, the (phospho)lipid composition of sperm is characterized by tremendous amounts of highly unsaturated fatty acyl residues such as docosahexaenoic and docosapentaenoic acid. While human sperm contain almost exclusively diacyl lipids, many animal sperm additiona Read More
