Abstract:
ZIKV Detect™ 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA (InBios International, Seattle, WA) recently replaced the ZIKV Detect™ IgM Capture ELISA and a number of significant changes have been made to the original version. This study compares data generated from the ZIKV Detect™ 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA, to data generated using the original version of the kit. The same sample sets were used in this comparison, and reference test results for these samples were used to assess sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and concordance of results across two laboratories. Average sensitivity increased from 90.4% to 92.5% with the updated kit where the increase was not statistically different, and specificity increased from 79.5% to 97.4%, a statistically-significant difference. Accuracy of the ZIKV Detect™ 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA was 89% compared to 63.9% for the original version of the kit, and agreement across the laboratories increased from 79.5% to 97.4%. With secondary dengue virus infections, specificity increased from 9.3% to 82.6% with the updated kit, primarily due to the change in interpretation criteria that no longer includes "Possible Zika positive."

Detection of Black Holes
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...
