IntroductionSwab pooling may allow for more efficient use of point-of-care assays for SARS-CoV-2 detection in settings where widespread testing is warranted, but the effects of pooling on assay performance are not well described.MethodsWe tested the Thermo-Fisher Accula rapid point-of-care RT-PCR platform with contrived pooled nasal swab specimens.
Radical Scavenging and Antioxidant Activity of Anthyllis Vulneraria Leaves and Flowers
The main targets of this work were to determine the phenolic content of Anthyllis vulneraria (A.vulneraria) leaves and flowers and to evaluate their click here antioxidant activity.Total polyphenols and flavonoid content (TPC and TFC, respectively) were determined.Antioxidant capacity was evaluated by the Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP), t
