Chlorophenol red is a pH indicator. It is used as an optical transducer of acetyl cholinesterase inhibition by the analytes. Chlorophenol red is also used to selectively determine chlorine dioxide in drinking water. It has been used in the novel assay to detect transformed protoplast-derived Zea mays colonies on Phosphinothricin (PPT).

Detecting bacteria is important in the fields of human health, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Foodborne pathogens alone are estimated to cause 420 000 deaths annually, with low-income regions affected most. Despite improvements in bacterial detection, fast, disposable, low-cost, sensitive, and

Galactose (Gal) is incorporated into cell wall polysaccharides as flowers open, but then is lost because of β-galactosidase activity as flowers mature and wilt. The significance of this for flower physiology resides in the role of galactan-containing polysaccharides in the

Rationale: Saliva as a sample matrix is rapidly gaining interest for disease diagnosis and point-of-care assays because it is easy to collect (non-invasive) and contains many health-related biomarkers. However, saliva poses particular problems relative to more common urine and blood
