Absorbent Pads

Absorbent Pads are devices designed to absorb and contain liquids, often used for medical, hygiene, or industrial applications.
These pads typically consist of absorbent materials such as cellulose, polymers, or other fibers that can quickly soak up and retain fluids.
They play a crucial role in managing incontinence, wound care, and spill containment, among other uses.
Researchers studying absorbent pad materials, designs, and performance can leverage PubCompare.ai's AI-driven platform to optimize their research protocols and enhance reproducibility.
The platform helps locate relevant protocols from literature, pre-prints, and patents, and provides AI-driven comparisons to identify the best protocols and products, taking the guesswyork out of the research process.

Colloidal gold nanoparticles with a mean particle diameter of 40 nm were used to produce antibody-colloidal gold probes in our study. Then, well-dispersed colloidal gold particles were conjugated with anti-BTX-1 mAb. There are four parts in the strip test, including the sample, conjugate, absorbent pads, and nitrocellulose (NC) membrane with test and control zones [24 (link)]. The BTX-1-BSA conjugate was coated onto the Millipore 135 NC membrane as a test line, and HRP-labeled rabbit anti-mouse IgG antibody was coated onto the Millipore 135 NC membrane as a control line. Colloidal gold-antibody conjugates were applied on the treated conjugate pad at a proper spray rate. Finally, four sections of the strip were assembled and stored at room temperature until use.
The competitive immunoassay was performed on the strip test to identify the cross-activity of the colloid gold strip. Different kinds of toxins including BTX-1, BTX-2, BTX-3, okadaic acid (OA), domoic acid (DA), saxitoxin (STX), tetrodotoxin (TTX), and conopeptide (CTX) were used to react with the colloidal gold-BTX-1 mAb conjugate which was pipetted onto the conjugate pad. The detection results could be observed by the naked eye after the mixtures moved forward to the nitrocellulose membrane for incubation for 10 min at room temperature. To evaluate the sensitivity of the strip test, different concentrations of BTX-1 were applied to the sample pad of individual test strips, so that they would flow along the nitrocellulose strip, and then a visible limit of detection (LOD) that resulted in the disappearance of a red band on the test line would be determined [25 (link)].

The capture antibody was diluted to 1 mg/mL in 1 mM phosphate buffer.
The anti-IL-6 antibody (L152) was dispensed onto the NC membrane using
a BioDot (ZX1010) dispensing platform at a flow rate of 1 μL/cm
to obtain a test line width of 1 mm. Then, the NC membrane was dried
in an oven at 37 °C for 1 h. The simplified half dipstick LFD
was then assembled by placing the NC membrane on the backing card
followed by the absorbent pad with a 5 mm overlap on the NC membrane.
Finally, strips were cut 5 mm wide before use.

Purified anti-spike protein monoclonal antibodies (SpMA-01 and SpMA-02) were diluted in 50 mM PBS buffer (pH 7.4), 2 µg of capture mAb (SpMA-02) and 1 µg of goat anti-mouse antibody (Bethyl Lab, USA) and dropped onto a nitrocellulose membrane at the reading window to give the T and C, respectively. To 10 µL of colloidal gold conjugated anti-spike mAb (SpMA-01), an equal volume of 10% alkali-treated casein was mixed and placed onto a conjugate pad. The membranes were then dried at room temperature to immobilize antibodies. Samples of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, or viruses and bacteria from the FDA pathogen panel were either diluted in PBS or treated with 100 mM TERGITOL-NP (prepared by mixing 334μL 100 mM Tergitol NP-9 with 666μL 100 mM Tergitol NP-10) followed by dilution with 150 µL of PBS. The samples were then placed onto sample application wells. Driven by capillary forces, the immunocomplex migrated up the membrane into the absorbent pad and after 10 to 15 minutes, the test results were evaluated visually. The selection of the optimal concentrations of the spike protein or pathogen antigens were visually inspected for Test (T-) and Control (C-) results. To determine the analytical sensitivity of spike protein in saliva or nasal samples, 200 ng of recombinant (S) was spiked into swabs and a 150μL extract was tested in the assay.

The performances of the strips composed of the NC membrane, the single-layer conjugate pad, and the absorbent pad were tested. The strips were manually cut into 6 × 0.5 cm and housed in a plastic cassette. The test and control lines were spotted manually in a circle by spotting 2 µg/dot of anti-spike mAb (SpMA-02) and 1 µg/dot of goat anti-mouse antibody (I-0759, Sigma, USA) at the reading window to give the test (T) and control line (C), respectively. To 10 µL of colloidal gold conjugated anti-spike mAb (SpMA-01), an equal volume of 10% alkali-treated casein was mixed and placed onto a conjugate pad. The membranes were dried for 5 to 7 minutes at room temperature to immobilize antibodies. Different concentrations of recombinant S ranging from 200 ng to 12.5 ng in 150 µL buffer and the control Vero cell extract [200 ng in 150 µL of PBS (50 mM PBS, pH 7.4)] were placed onto the sample application point. Driven by capillary forces, the immunocomplex migrated up the membrane into the absorbent pad and the test results were evaluated visually after 10 -15 minutes, the test results were evaluated visually. The selection of the optimal concentrations of the spike protein was visually inspected for T and C line results. The limit of detection (LOD) was calculated accordingly.

Forced swimming stress model was first introduced by Porsolt et al. [25 (link)], in 1977. The procedure for this model is to place the mouse for 6 minutes into a glass-polycarbonate cylinder (25 cm high×10 cm wide) filled to a depth of 10cm with water maintained at 24°C. Immediately following the 6 minutes exposure into the water cylinder, the animals are removed from the cylinder and dried using a water absorbent pad. In the current study, we used a recently described five day repeated forced swim stress (5d-RFSS) protocol [22 (link)], in which mice were forced to swim in an open cylindrical container (diameter, 10 cm; height, 25 cm) containing 10 cm deep water (25°C) for five consecutive days. The five days procedure constituted the induction phase of the stress model. This protocol had been shown to produce the depressive symptoms that last for at least four weeks, allowing for a time window to test and study therapeutic interventions [22 (link)]. After the five days induction period, animals were treated for 21 days, while five minutes behavioural tests were conducted and video recorded at intervals on days 7, 14 and 21, after 5d-RFSS. The period/duration of swimming and immobility during the 6 minutes test was measured from the video recordings and recorded using a timer. While the FST has received extensive criticism regarding its validity and reproducibility, a metanalysis of 73 behavioral studies that used FST in mice demonstrated external validity and reproducibility of the FST where different types of antidepressant drugs reduced immobility in the test [26 (link)].
The issue of ethics regarding the use of the FST has been raised due to its perceived suffering to animals [27 ]. However, there is currently no regulation against the use of the FST. The fact sheet published by British Association for Psychopharmacology in conjunction with, the Laboratory Animal Science Association and Understanding Animal Research advocated for the continued use of FST as a valuable behavioral screening tool [28 ]. A recent commentary suggested the use of none-behavioral neurochemical measures like brain derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) as an alternative to the FST [29 (link)]. The current study included the testing of the BDNF levels in the brain and showed that the changes in the BDNF are in solidarity with the reduction in immobility time in the FST paving a way for a shift away from the FST.
