Hence tests targeting NA tend to be exceptionally sensitive. NA-based reagents (e.g., primers) for NA testing can also be produced synthetically rapidly and on a large scale1; DNA-based molecules, in particular, are highly stable, therefore, do not require a cold-chain for storage, making...
However, a controlled environment is needed to carry out the tests, and those methods require well-trained personnel to perform the analyses. Therefore, despite all the methods available for the authentication of EBN's, there is a pressing need to explore field-deployable rapid screening techniques...
3.1.2. NeoSpectra After several tests with the NeoSpectra device, for the final measurements we used a 45 × 22.5 × 12.5 mm quartz cuvette (Hellma, Jena, Germany) that completely covered the NeoSpectra window (20 × 20 mm). The use of a cuvette that totally covers the window facilitates...
