Microspheres are small spherical entities formed by dispersing or adsorbing drugs in a polymer matrix. The particle size is typically between 1 μm and 250 μm, and the largest can reach more than 800 μm. Microsphere technology is at the intersection of cutting-edge disciplines such as materials science, polymer technology, medical technology, and microelectronics. Once injected into the ...
Currently, the incidence of infectious diseases has increased globally, and the pathogens show a trend of diversification and complexity. Rapid and accurate pathogenic diagnosis, which enables early selection of sensitive anti-infective drugs or effective and targeted preventive and control measures, is the core of accurate prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. The epidemic of ...
Slide staining can be tedious, and guarantee the same standards in quality from the first to the last slide is challenging. To solve this, the automatization of the process can be a solution. However, slide stainers for hematology can be expensive and tricky to use. The haemato-pathologist should ensure a good quality smear, thorough examination, and proper interpretation in line with ...

The coronavirus is spreading rapidly within the Netherlands and the rest of Europe. Despite the fact that not everything is yet known about COVID-19, we know that the virus spreads through airborne particles – also called aerosols – that are released when shouting, sneezing or coughing. In order to prevent the spread of the contagious aerosols, ventilation is extremely important. In ...
All starting materials should have minimal microbiological contamination. Your contamination control strategy should document the quality of the materials in terms of microbiological monitoring or other requirements. The bioburden assay should be performed for each batch for both aseptically-filled products and terminally-sterilized products. Use the results as part of the final batch review. ...
Numerous chemical and physical methods have been employed to prepare metal nanoparticles, including chemical reduction. Silver has been known to have potential for bactericidal properties and promotion of wound healing. The recent emergence of nanotechnology has provided a new therapeutic modality in silver nanoparticles for use in burn wounds. We used chemical reduction for preparation of ...
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common syndrome associated with numerous adverse health outcomes in women. Despite its medical importance, the etiology and microbial ecology of BV remain poorly understood. We used broad-range PCR to census the community structure of the healthy and BV-affected vaginal microbial ecosystems and synthesized current publicly available bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequence ...
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes is a method that is widely used to detect and quantify microorganisms in environmental samples and medical specimens by fluorescence microscopy. Difficulties with FISH arise if the rRNA content of the probe target organisms is low, causing dim fluorescence signals that are not detectable against the background ...
