TRANSITIONING FROM TRITON X-100 TO TERGITOL 15-S-9: IMPACTS ON DIAGNOSTIC ASSAYS USING VIRAL PCR SAMPLE SOLUTION

Transitioning from Triton X-100 to Tergitol 15-S-9: impacts on diagnostic assays using viral PCR sample solution

In 2019, the Sponge European Union banned Triton X-100, a detergent widely used in laboratory diagnostics, including the Viral PCR Sample Solution (VPSS), and urged manufacturers to find environmentally sustainable alternatives.Tergitol 15-S-9 (VPSS2) has been proposed as an alternative surfactant.This multicenter study evaluated the effectiveness

Age-preserved semantic memory and the CRUNCH effect manifested as differential semantic control networks: An fMRI study.

Semantic memory representations are overall well-maintained in aging whereas semantic control is thought to be more affected.To explain this phenomenon, this study aims to test the predictions of the Compensation Related Utilization of Neural Circuits Hypothesis (CRUNCH) focusing on task demands in aging as a possible framework.The CRUNCH effect wo
