Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated restrictions made the concept of home testing increasingly popular. Here, we designed a linear transport unit connected to a paper-based multiplexed colorimetric platform, which can be used to test for food safety and physiological status. The device is composed of a linear transport unit and a paper-based multiplexed colorimetric reaction unit. The linear transporting unit uses the capillary phenomenon to collect samples, and the multiplexed colorimetric reaction unit can be used to detect different targets using a hydrophilic area and wax as the hydrophobic barrier. A rapid and multiplexed naked-eye readout of the colorimetric response is achieved in a few minutes. In this study, we demonstrate that the device can be used to detect nitrite, pesticides, lactate, and glycogen. It is a convenient and cheap home self-testing device that can be applied to different situations. This device could lead to earlier screening and, consequently, earlier referrals for further confirmation and treatment.

与纸质多路比色平台连接的线性传输单元检测氨基甲酸盐和亚硝酸盐的食品安全

COVID-19大流行及其相关限制使家庭检测的概念越来越受欢迎。在这里，我们设计了一个线性传输单元，连接到基于纸张的多路比色平台，可用于检测食品安全和生理状态。该装置由线性传输单元和基于纸张的多路比色反应单元组成。线性输送单元利用毛细现象采集样品，多路比色反应单元利用亲水区域和蜡作为疏水屏障，可用于检测不同的靶标。在几分钟内实现了比色响应的快速和多路裸眼读出。在这项研究中，我们证明了该装置可用于检测亚硝酸盐，农药，乳酸盐和糖原。它是一种方便、廉价的家庭自检装置，可以适用于不同的情况。该设备可以导致早期筛查，因此，早期转诊进一步确认和治疗。

期刊介绍： Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research is an international, interdisciplinary broad-based peer reviewed scientific journal for critical evaluation of research on chemistry, biology and therapeutic applications of nutraceuticals and functional foods. The major goal of this journal is to provide peer reviewed unbiased scientific data to the decision makers in the nutraceutical and food industry to help make informed choices about development of new products. To this end, the journal will publish two types of review articles. First, a review of preclinical research data coming largely from animal, cell culture and other experimental models. Such data will provide basis for future product development and/or human research initiatives. Second, a critical evaluation of current human experimental data to help market and deliver the product for medically proven use. This journal will also serve as a forum for nutritionists, internists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and all those interested in preventive medicine. The common denominator of all of the topic to be covered by the journal must include nutraceuticals and/functional food. The following is an example of some specific areas that may be of interest to the journal. i) Role of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients on cardiovascular health, cancer, diabetes, ocular health, mental health, men’s health, women’s health, infant nutrition, ii) Role of herbals on human health, iii) Dietary supplements and sleep, iv) Components of diet that may have beneficial effect on human health, v) regulation of apoptosis and cell viability, vi) Isolation and characterization of bioactive components from functional foods, vii) Nutritional genomics, and viii) Nutritional proteomics.
