Use of near infrared spectroscopy and chemometrics for the classification of different Cannabis spp. samples found in Belgium
GC- FID for total-tetrahydrocannabinol detection and quantification with an officially validated method. The analysis of these products was performed by FT- NIR spectrometer (spectra were recorded in ...
Clinical and analytical evaluation of the Alinity m HR HPV assay within the VALGENT-3 framework
recently launched Abbott Alinity m HR HPV assay (Alinity m) to detect cervical precancerous lesions was assessed against the standard comparator test (Hybrid Capture 2; HC2) and additionally against two ...
COVID-19 contact tracing in Belgium: main indicators and performance, January- September 2021.
January 1 2021 and September 30 2021 despite an increase in cases in March-April 2021. We report high SAR, indicating that through contact tracing a large number of infections were prospectively detected ...
Development and validation of a microfluidic multiplex immunoassay for the determination of levels and avidity of serum antibodies to tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis antigens.
binding. All individual antigens were covalently linked to the carboxylated microparticles after which samples and fluorescently labelled detection antibodies were flowed over the microparticles in the ...
VALCOR: a protocol for the validation of SARS-corona virus-2 assays.
SARS-CoV-2 sequences provided by established competent agencies that produce reference materials for the assessment of the limit of detection of each assay. The panel of samples are sent from a central ...
Contents of Amoxicillin Drugs Dispensed in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo
High Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrophotometry (UHPLC- MS / MS) and diode array detection (UHPLC- DAD). Nine of the 24 samples fulfilled the WHO criteria of counterfeit ...
Development of a data-intensive centralized system for surveillance and outbreak investigation of bacterial pathogens using whole-genome sequencing
research projects. These projects cover many of the responsibilities of a public health institute, including phylogenomic investigation, surveillance of antimicrobial resistance, detection and ...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in spices and dried herbs and associated risk for the Belgian population
detected in 56% of samples, while ΣPAH4 were found in 96% of samples. ΣPAH4 were evenly distributed among the three groups with a median content of 7.2 for traditional spices, 5.5 for exotic spices and 6.0 ...
Sensitivity of candling as routine method for the detection and recovery of ascaridoids in commercial fish fillets.
method whereby visible ascaridoid larvae are detected on a light table and manually removed. The aim of this study was to assess the sensitivity (Se) and negative predictive value (NPV) of this method. To ...
A Summer of Cyanobacterial Blooms in Belgian Waterbodies: Microcystin Quantification and Molecular Characterizations
method allowed to detect and quantify eight microcystin congeners. The mcyE gene was detected using PCR, while dominant cyanobacterial species were identified using 16S RNA amplification and direct ...
