摘要:
The present invention provides an apparatus for detecting the presence or absence of an analyte in liquid sample, including: a collection chamber, including an opening for collecting a liquid sample; a testing element for testing the analyte in liquid sample; and a cover for covering the opening of the collection chamber; wherein the apparatus further includes a prompting device for prompting if the cover is covered to a specified location, and the prompting device shall at least includes a first element and a second element, the first element is in contact with the second element, wherein one element vibrates to produce a sound. In some preferred ways, the second element produces friction with the first element, to cause one of the elements to generate vibrations. The apparatus in the present invention can allow the prompting sound to be clear and loud.

The invention pertains to a rapid and specific aptamer-based method for one-step cocaine detection with minimal reagent requirements based on an aptamer sensor that reports the presence of cocaine via the displacement and unquenching of a bound fluorophore molecule. In certain embodiments, the invention provides novel aptamers, which have reduced background fluorescence, bind a fluorophore molecule tightly, and show an increased signal gain in the presence of cocaine.

Methods, assays, and products for the detection of small molecules are provided. In one aspect, for example, a method of detecting a small molecule in a sample can include reacting together a first half of a DNA split aptamer having a first reactive group coupled thereto, a second half of a DNA split aptamer having a second reactive group coupled thereto, where the DNA split aptamer is selective for the small molecule, and a sample containing the small molecule. The first half and the second half bind to the small molecule and the first reactive group and the second reactive group react to form an aptamer ligation product of the first half and the second half. The method can also include assaying for the aptamer ligation product in order to detect the small molecule presence in the sample.

摘要:
The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for determining a target analyte in a sample (e.g., a bodily fluid sample such as sweat, blood, urine, lavage, plasma, saliva, tears) using an analysis device (e.g., a bodily fluid analysis device). The device may include a lateral flow assay in some embodiments. Certain embodiments involve determining a concentration of a target analyte in a sample by generating a volumetric calculation of the sample and/or by use of a non-target analyte. The devices and methods can be used for obtaining and processing a sample to determine the presence and/or concentration of such analytes. In some cases, the methods and/or devices can be used to determine impairment (e.g., drug impairment) in a subject.

An immunoassay method for detecting and determining ‘NBOMe’ family designer drugs is described. Also described are components for use in implementing the method, namely, antibodies, detection agents, solid state devices and kits as well as immunogens used to raise the antibodies.
摘要:
A method of detecting a presence of an analyte in a sample. The method includes selecting an aptamer selective to the analyte and binding the aptamer to a nanoparticle. The nanoparticles having a free state are perceived as a first color and an aggregate state are perceived as a second color. The sample is introduced to the nanoparticle-bound aptamers, and aggregation of the nanoparticles is promoted. A colorimetric change is analyzed, wherein the aggregate state of the nanoparticles is achieved in the presence of the analyte in the sample.
摘要:
The invention provides a device for detecting drugs of abuse or other compounds in saliva. The invention thus provides a device for detecting the presence of one or more analytes in a saliva sample, comprising: (a) One or more pre-treatment regions for specifically or non-specifically removing at least a part of the fraction of the saliva sample interfering with detection of the one or more analytes; and (b) A detection region comprising a biosensor surface, the surface comprising: molecules capable of specifically binding the one or more analytes; or the one or more analytes and/or analyte analogues.
