Abstract: Disclosed is a customized embedded poker chip coaster.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to electronic reader devices, detection compositions and methods for detecting heavy metals (e.g., lead) in water samples using a simple, rapid and highly selective immunoassay system, including lateral and upward flow assay systems. The immunoassay is designed to detect very low levels of a contaminating analyte such as lead at less than 1 ppb with high specificity and selectivity from any common water source (e.g., tap or drinking water). Advantageously, implementation of the assay requires no formal technical training or expensive equipment or reagents and is provided with a multi-use reader that can be used for 50 samples or more. The immunoassay sample collector systems are consumable (single use) and can be purchased in any desired quantity. Assay results are wirelessly transmitted from the reader using a SafeSpout-designed app., which provides important information based on the test results.

Abstract: The invention is directed to antibody compositions that specifically bind to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and kits encompassing the same.

Abstract: The disclosure provides drug delivery devices and methods of making and using the drug delivery devices. The devices include single and multi-layer polymer films made by a breath figure technique having therapeutic agents associated therewith. For example, the devices may be a dual layer polymer film wherein the first layer includes a therapeutic agent incorporated into it by spin coating the first agent with a polymer solution and the second agent is incorporated into the second layer by loading the agent into pores of the second layer after it is spin coated onto the first layer. In some cases one layer provides a burst release and the second layer provides a slow release drug delivery profile. The devices may take on the form of a surgical mesh with a slow release therapeutic drug.
