Abstract: The present invention is directed to polyamide recovery from domestic or commercial waste. In particular, a method of polyamide recovery from domestic or commercial waste, via a selective dissolution procedure, using a methanol-calcium chloride solvent system, that isolates and recovers the polyamide at a particle size range that is particularly suitable for enzymatic depolymerization.

Abstract: The invention relates to polymer nanoparticle and DNA nanostructure delivery compositions for non-viral delivery, and methods therefor. More particularly, the invention relates to polymer nanoparticle delivery compositions, such as reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymer compositions, and DNA nanostructure delivery compositions, such as DNA origami compositions, for the delivery of more than one payload, or for the delivery of a nucleic acid construct payload of 3 kB or more, and methods therefor.

Abstract: The invention provides a variety of novel devices, systems, and methods of utilizing mixed-ionic-electronic conductor (MIEC) materials adapted to function with an applied current or potential. The materials, as part of a circuit, are placed in contact with a part of a human or nonhuman animal body. A sodium selective membrane system utilizing the MIEC is also described.

Abstract: A point of care device, comprises a chamber configured to contain a swab. Once a swab is loaded, the device introduces a buffer into the chamber, then lyses cells collected by the swab. Probes such as padlock probes target a specified content such as a virus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2 RNA) and will bind, splint ligate, and rapidly isothermally amplify (e.g., using rolling circle amplification). Also described is a wastewater pathogen tracking dashboard and schema for detecting and tracking pathogen spread within communities by monitoring microbial and viral RNA.
