Applications of capillary action in drug delivery [PDF]
iScience, 2021 Summary: Contrary to the fact that capillary action is ubiquitous in our daily lives, its role in drug delivery has not attracted attention. Therefore, its application in medicine and disease treatment has not been actively developed.

Differential Radial Capillary Action of Ligand Assay (DRaCALA). [PDF]
Curr Protoc Mol Biol, 2019 AbstractProtein interactions with nucleic acids are important for the synthesis, regulation, and stability of macromolecules. While a number of assays are available for interrogating these interactions, the differential radial capillary action of ligand assay (DRaCALA) has been developed as an easy and flexible platform that allows for the study of ...

Automatic sampling and analysis of organics and biomolecules by capillary action-supported contactless atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Contactless atmospheric pressure ionization (C-API) method has been recently developed for mass spectrometric analysis. A tapered capillary is used as both the sampling tube and spray emitter in C-API. No electric contact is required on the capillary tip

Manipulation of Random Lasing Action From Dye-Doped Liquid Crystals Infilling Two-Dimensional Confinement Single Core Capillary [PDF]
IEEE Photonics Journal, 2015 The experimental detail of a random lasing action from dye-doped nematic liquid crystals (LCs) inside single-core capillaries with a core diameter below 50 μm was investigated. The resonant characteristics, including the number of emission spikes,

Capillary Action in Scalar Active Matter [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2020 We study the capacity of active matter to rise in thin tubes against gravity and other related phenomena, like, wetting of vertical plates and spontaneous imbibition, where a wetting liquid is drawn into a porous medium. This capillary action or capillarity is well known in classical fluids and originates from attractive interactions between the liquid

Possible role of capillary action in pathogenesis of experimental catheter-associated dermal tunnel infections [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1988 An animal model of vascular-catheter-associated dermal tunnel infections was developed to study the pathogenesis of such infections. Bacteria inoculated onto entry sites of catheters into skin could be identified by culture and Gram stain on the tips of ...
