In the first part of this research, we have developed a simple and effective ratiometric fluorescence sensor for selective detection of dopamine (DA) in alkaline media by simply mixing thioglycolic acid (TGA) functionalized orange fluorescent cadmium telluride (CdTe) quantum dots (QDs) with amino-functionalized blue fluorescent carbon nanodots (CDs). Under a single excitation wavelength of 365 nm, the sensor exhibits dual-emissions centered at 445 and 603 nm. The fluorescence of CdTe QDs is selectively quenched by DA, whereas the fluorescence of CDs is insensitive to the analyte. In the presence of different amounts of DA, the variations in the dual emission intensity ratios exhibit a... 

Lateral Flow Immunoassay kits are one of the most important instrument in laboratories and houses for diagnosing diseases, hormones, food toxins and etc. fast, exactly and by low cost. Since one of the most expensive parts in the mentioned kits, is using antibodies in their construction, an attempt has been made in this project for descending usage of antibody and consequently final cost of these sensors besides keeping desired and necessary sensitivity of these diagnostic kits. For this purpose, first of all with the help of simulating flow’s behavior in Lattice-Boltzmann method, provisions has been made to predicting flow’s movement behavior in Nitrocellulose membrane, Based on its results...
