In this paper, we describe a simple charge-coupled device (CCD) based lensless fluorometer with sensitivity in the range of current ELISA plate readers. In our lensfree fluorometer, a multi-wavelength LED light source was used for fluorophore excitation. To collimate the
Sensitive and specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were developed for the detection of two illegal synthetic dyes: Methyl Yellow (MY) and Rhodamine B (RB) in food. Polyclonal antibodies were raised against synthesised immunogens and employed in unique direct disequilibrium ELISAs.
The azo-dye p-dimethylaminoazobenzene (p-DAB) is a potential tumor initiator in rodents, but the underlying mechanism is not clear. Following chronic feeding of the carcinogen for 3, 5 and 7 weeks, trace elemental status, free radical generation, oxidative damage, antioxidant profile

We describe here the construction of a sensitive and selective optical sensor system for the detection of human α-thrombin. The surface functionalized luminescent [Ru(dpsphen)(3)](4-) (dpsphen-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline disulfonate) ion doped silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) with a size ~70 nm have been prepared. The

Molecular beacon is a DNA probe containing a sequence complementary to the target that is flanked by self-complementary termini, and carries a fluorophore and a quencher at the ends. We used the fluorescein and dabcyl as fluorophore and quencher respectively
