Abstract:
Reagent sensors in diagnostic assays are used in medical laboratories to obtain patient results. However, interference during the analysis of blood samples is a constant problem with reagent sensors and leads to inaccurate results. Interference in blood analysis is frequently caused by hemolysis and icterus. This study analyzed the effects of interferents on reagent sensors and devised a method to improve the measurement accuracy using an interference index detection (IID) system to minimize the interference effect. The IID system can be easily applied using only two wells and an optical component for sample measurement. After applying the IID system, the interference rates from bilirubin and hemoglobin improved dramatically. A comparison of results obtained for clinical samples showed that the IID system had a positive effect on the accuracy.

This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...

Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...
