Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an optical detection technique that offers
advantages over traditional assay detection technologies, such as fluorescence and …

A novel, homogeneous SERS-based cell detection assay was developed for rapid and direct
enumeration of circulating tumor cells in the presence of whole blood. Magnetic beads and …

We have developed a new method using the Qbead™ system for high‐throughput genotyping
of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The Qbead system employs fluorescent Qdot…

Metallic nanoparticles suspended in aqueous solutions and functionalized with chemical
and biological surface coatings are important elements in basic and applied nanoscience …

The rapid growth and development in biodetection technology has largely been driven by the
emergence of new and deadly infectious diseases and the realization of biological warfare …

We have combined molecular beacon (MB) probes with barcoded metal nanowires to
enable no-wash, sealed chamber, multiplexed detection of nucleic acids. Probe design and …

Background Sensitive and high throughput molecular detection assays are essential during
the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the severe acute …

The single‐crystal elastic stiffnesses of fluorapatite, Ca 5 F(PO 4 ) 3 , have been measured
by an ultrasonic technique. The values are: C 11 =152.0, C 12 =49.99, C 13 =63.11, C 33 =…

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) are the most common form of sequence variation
in the human genome. Large-scale studies demand high-throughput SNP genotyping …

Striped metallic nanowires (NW) have been coated with a silica shell of controllable thickness
(6−150 nm), and the assay performance of coated vs uncoated NW has been compared. …
