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]
Paper-based biosensors are a subset of paper-based microfluidics used to detect the presence of pathogens in water. Paper-based detection devices have been touted for their low cost, portability and ease of use. [1] [2] Its portability in particular makes it a good candidate for point-of-care testing. [1]
Xenon-129 can be used to examine the early history of the Earth. 129 Xe was derived from the extinct nuclide of iodine, iodine-129 or 129 I (with a half-life of 15.7 Million years , or Myr), which can be used in iodine-xenon (I-Xe) dating.
Xenon-136 is an isotope of xenon that undergoes double beta decay to barium-136 with a very long half-life of 2.11 × 10 21 years, more than 10 orders of magnitude longer than the age of the universe ((13.799 ± 0.021) × 10 9 years). It is being used in the Enriched Xenon Observatory experiment to search for neutrinoless double beta decay.
Kohinoor Chemical Company (Bangladesh) Limited was established in 1956 at Tejgaon Industrial Area, Dacca. [8] [9] In 1971, the company was nationalized after the Independence of Bangladesh from Pakistan and placed under Bangladesh Chemical Industries Corporation. [8] It became a public limited company in 1998. [8]
Because of its scarcity, xenon is much more expensive than the lighter noble gases—approximate prices for the purchase of small quantities in Europe in 1999 were 10 €/L (=~€1.7/g) for xenon, 1 €/L (=~€0.27/g) for krypton, and 0.20 €/L (=~€0.22/g) for neon, [67] while the much more plentiful argon, which makes up over 1% by volume ...
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.
