Xenon Xe 129 hyperpolarized, sold under the brand name Xenoview, is a hyperpolarized contrast agent indicated for use with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluation of lung ventilation, and approved for people aged twelve years of age and older. [4] [5] It was approved for medical use in the US in December 2022. [6]
In order to obtain images of the subject's lung tissue, the polarized xenon gas is inhaled through a tube connected to a mouthpiece. The subject is instructed to take a deep breath and exhale fully twice before inhaling the gas. The typical scan uses a mixture of 200-1000 ml of 129Xe and a buffer gas such as helium or nitrogen.
The hyperpolarization method called spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) is being used to hyperpolarize noble gases such as Xenon-129 and Helium-3. When an inhaled hyperpolarized gas like 3He or 129Xe is imaged, there is a higher magnetization density of NMR-active molecules in the lung compared to traditional 1H imaging, which improves the MRI ...
Bio-FETs couple a transistor device with a bio-sensitive layer that can specifically detect bio-molecules such as nucleic acids and proteins. A Bio-FET system consists of a semiconducting field-effect transistor that acts as a transducer separated by an insulator layer (e.g. SiO 2) from the biological recognition element (e.g. receptors or probe molecules) which are selective to the target ...
Biosensors used for screening combinatorial DNA libraries. In a biosensor, the bioreceptor is designed to interact with the specific analyte of interest to produce an effect measurable by the transducer. High selectivity for the analyte among a matrix of other chemical or biological components is a key requirement of the bioreceptor.
Compared with solar xenon, Earth's atmospheric Xe is enriched in heavy isotopes by 3 to 4% per atomic mass unit (amu). [18] However, the total abundance of xenon gas is depleted by one order of magnitude relative to other noble gases. [15] The elemental depletion while relative enrichment in heavy isotopes is called the "Xenon paradox".
Shwapno (pronounced [ʃɔpˈnoo̯]; transl. Dream) is a Bangladeshi supermarket chain owned by ACI Logistics Limited, a subsidiary of ACI Limited. [3] [4] [5] It was established in 2008 and has become the largest supermarket chain in Bangladesh, [6] with the highest number of outlets and a 44% market share in the Super Shops sector in Bangladesh.
