摘要:
A method of determining the presence or absence in a sample of a biomarker, the method comprising: (a) linking an antigen to colloidal gold to provide a gold-antigen species; (b) contacting the gold-antigen species with the sample; (c) adding a diagnosis agent to the sample; and (d) observing the color of the sample.

摘要:
A method of preparing a compound of formula (III): wherein x is from 1 to 6, y is from 1 to 12, z is from 0 to 10, each M and each M' is independently a mycolic acid residue including a β-hydroxy acid moiety and each S is a monosaccharide unit; the method comprising reacting one or more mycolic acids with one or more saccharide units wherein the hydroxyl group of each β-hydroxy acid moiety is protected prior to reaction with the one or more saccharide units.

摘要:
A method for the fractionation of cashew nut shell liquid comprises solvent-solvent extraction using a polar solvent component and a non-polar, non-acidic, non-basic solvent component; wherein the polar solvent component is a mixture comprising: i) a first solvent comprising a fluorinated solvent; and ii) a second solvent comprising a solvent satisfying the following parameters: a) Hildebrand parameter greater than 10 (kcal dnT -3 ) 0,5 and b) dipolarity/polarizability (π), hydrogen bond acidity (a), and hydrogen bond basicity (β) having the following relationship: α/(α + β + π) > 0.5; β/(α + β + π) 0.3.
摘要:
A method of determining the presence or absence in a sample of a biomarker indicative of exposure to mycobacteria, the method comprising: (a) providing a substrate carrying a mycolic acid derived antigen; (b) contacting the substrate with the sample; (c) contacting the substrate with a fluorophore species; (d) creating an evanescent wave at the boundary of the substrate and the sample; (e) detecting the presence or absence of fluorescence.
