Development of a Multiplex Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Method for Simultaneous Detection of Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiae and Malaria Parasites by Dipstick DNA Chromatography

Diagnostics, 2020
Spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae causes febrile illness in humans worldwide. Since SFG rickettsiosis’s clinical presentation is nonspecific, it is frequently misdiagnosed as other febrile diseases, especially malaria, and complicates proper ...

Minimizing quantification uncertainty in nanoplasmonic platforms: Multifunctional MoS2‐integration for precise biomarker determination

InfoMat, EarlyView.
The multifunctional integration of MoS2 into the SERS platform addresses key limitations in accurate quantification. Atomically thin MoS2 reduces spot‐to‐spot variations via plasmonic calibration and improves quantification reliability by ensuring consistent signal changes with analyte concentration.
