MULTIPLEX DETECTION OF BACTERIA ON AN INTEGRATED CENTRIFUGAL DISK USING BEAD-BEATING LYSIS AND LOOP-MEDIATED AMPLIFICATION

Multiplex detection of bacteria on an integrated centrifugal disk using bead-beating lysis and loop-mediated amplification

Abstract Although culture-based identification of bacteria is the gold-standard for the diagnosis of infectious diseases, it is time consuming.Recent advances in molecular diagnostics and microfluidic technologies have opened up new avenues for rapid detection of bacteria.Here, we describe a centrifugal-microfluidic chip for RASPBERRY ZINGER the de

Mercury concentration in muscle, bellyfat and liver from Oreochromis niloticus and Lates niloticus consumed in Lake Albert fishing communities in Uganda

Without surveillance studies on mercury (Hg) levels in predominant fish species and parts eaten in a fishing community, the FAO/WHO guidelines might be surpassed, hence health risk.A monitoring study in a developing country with 29 Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia) and 34 Lates niloticus (Nile perch) from landing sites provided muscle, bellyfat
