Abstract To find the cause of infectious diseases such as urinary tract infections, a the diagnostic patterning test was used. In this method, the whole blood and serum samples for every person were dried on a glass substrate to create a special pattern due to formation of central and peripheral regions. This process was performed during 1 h at 25 °C which is much shorter than the classical and instrumental methods. The resulting patterns can be observed by an optical microscope.

Abstract This study introduces an applicable colorimetric sensor array for the detection of pesticides in the vapor phase. The array consisted of six metal nanoparticles spotted on the piece of filter paper. 3D-origami pattern was used for the fabrication of a paper-based sensor to decrease the effect of the nanoparticles leaching after exposure to analytes. Exposure to pesticide aerosols caused changes in the color of the array due to the aggregation of nanoparticles.
