The effect of blood sampling and preanalytical processing on human N-glycome. by Tereza Dědová, Detlef Grunow, Kai Kappert, Dagmar Flach, Rudolf Tauber, Véronique Blanchard

“…Venous blood was collected from 10 healthy donors in 11 blood collection tubes with different additives, processed variously to obtain 16 preanalytical variables and N-glycans released from serum or plasma were analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MS and capillary electrophoresis coupled with fluorescence detection (CE-LIF) for the first time. Long time storage of deep frozen samples at -20°C or -80°C exerted only a minor influence on the glycome as demonstrated by CE-LIF. …”

The Comparative Analysis of Two RT-qPCR Kits for Detecting SARS-CoV-2 Reveals a Higher Risk of False-Negative Diagnosis in Samples with High Quantification Cycles for Viral and Internal Genes by Roberto Luraschi, Carlos Barrera-Avalos, Eva Vallejos-Vidal, Javiera Alarcón, Andrea Mella-Torres, Felipe Hernández, Ailen Inostroza-Molina, Daniel Valdés, Mónica Imarai, Claudio Acuña-Castillo, Felipe E. Reyes-López, Ana María Sandino

“…In this study, we analyze the performance of the two commercial RT-qPCR kits used in Chile, TaqMan™ 2019-nCoV Control Kit v1 (Thermo Fisher) and MaxCov19 (TAAG Genetics), for the COVID-19 diagnosis from nasopharyngeal swab samples (NPSs). Our results show a lower sensitivity of the TAAG kit compared to the Thermo Fisher kit, even in the detection of SARS-CoV-2 mutations associated with its variants. …”

Repetitive Sampling Control Chart for Gamma Distribution in Uncertain Environments by Zainalabideen Al-Husseini, Khudhayr A. Rashedi, Muhammad Aslam

“…This paper introduces an innovative control chart customized for the gamma distribution, specifically crafted to handle uncertain conditions through repetitive sampling. The control chart's coefficients, along with the probabilities of remaining in control or detecting a shift, and the average run lengths, were derived by assuming the symmetrical behavior typical of the normal distribution, using the neutrosophic interval method. …”

A simple and quick sampling tool to monitor antibiotic use in veal calves – a successful demonstration by Larissa J.M. Jansen, Caroline Dirks, Maura Arends, Laura L.M. van Asseldonk, Robbert H.A. van den Beld, Samantha Sasse, Daan Siebelink, Bjorn J.A. Berendsen, Sifra van der Vis, Milou G.M. van de Schans

“…Therefore, the prudent use of antibiotics needs to be enforced within animal husbandry by implementing effective monitoring methods for detection of antibiotic use. Since the current monitoring methods based on sampling of edible matrices are lacking due to their short detection window and invasive character, previous research has suggested alternative monitoring based on the analysis of hair, manure and saliva, in which antibiotics can be detected well past the detection window of edible matrices of current monitoring strategies. …”
