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
The food industry requires rapid and simple detection methods for preventing harm from pathogenic bacteria. Until now, various technologies used to detect foodborne bacteria were time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, we have developed an automated immunomagnetic separation combined with a colorimetric

Two highly sensitive ELISAs for the specific detection of 17β-estradiol (E2) residues were developed, showing the limits of detection (LOD, a concentration at 15% inhibition of color development) of 0.04 ± 0.02 μg/L and 0.05 ± 0.03 μg/L. The average recovery rate of the river water
