This paper demonstrates local pH measurement in a microchip using a pH-sensing gel-microbead. To achieve this, the gel-microbead made of a hydrophilic photo-crosslinkable resin was functionalized with the pH indicator bromothymol blue (BTB). The primary constituent of this photo-crosslinkable resin
Solid-phase spectrophotometric and visual test-methods of fluoride and oxalate determination are proposed. The methods are based on the competitive reactions of ZrOCl2 with methylthymol blue immobilized on silica gel and fluoride or oxalate in solution. Absorbance of the solid-phase reagent
Films comprising metal nanoparticles are assembled on the surfaces of liquid droplets of different shapes and macroscopic dimensions. These films are reinforced by dithiol crosslinks and are mechanically rugged yet permeable to the diffusion of small molecules.

Phospholipase A(2) is an important enzyme in various pathologies. Although fluorescent substrate assays for it have been recently developed, there is a need for an assay with inexpensive commercially available substrates, useful when samples interfered with fluorescent assays, that is
Cryptococcus albidus and C. laurentii were the predominant non-neoformans cryptococci isolated during an environmental sampling study for C. gattii at Klang Valley, Malaysia. Cryptococcus gattii was not isolated from any of the environmental samples. Cryptococcus albidus and C. laurentii were
