Besides its excellent optical properties and unmet capacity to stabilize biomacromolecules, SF in test strips exhibits additional functions, i.e. capillary pumping activity of 1.5 mm s −1, capacity to filter blood cells thanks to its small, but tuneable, porosity and enhanced biosensing sensitivity. The bulk functionalization of SF with the enzymes glucose oxidase and peroxidase and the mediator ABTS produces colourless and transparent SF films that respond to blood glucose increasing 2.5 times the sensitivity of conventional ABTS-based assays. This enhanced sensitivity results from the formation of SF–ABTS complexes, where SF becomes part of the bioassay. Additionally, SF films triple the durability of most stable cellulose-based sensors. Although demonstrated for glucose, SF microfluidic test strips may incorporate other optical bioassays, e.g. immunoassays, with the aim of transferring them from central laboratories to the place of patient's care. Introduction Point of care (POC) devices are conceived to transfer medical tests from central laboratories to the place of patient's care. The flagship of POC devices is paper-based lateral flow assays (LFAs), where the paper 1 pumps the liquid through the system by capillarity, and the device provides the result after a few minutes and without user intervention. NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Volt Information Sciences, Inc.Albeit simple and low cost, most of the LFAs are restricted to yes/no or subjective and interpretable semi-quantitative results. (NYSE-AMERICAN:VISI) today announced that the company’s ticker symbol on the New York Stock Exchange will change to “VOLT” from “VISI”. Linda Perneau, Volt’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are excited to have the opportunity to align our stock’s ticker symbol directly with the ‘Volt’ corporate brand, which will strengthen our visibility with public investors and provide consistent recognition across all our stakeholders.” Trading under the new ticker symbol will begin on Monday, September 9, 2019. Volt Bank Limited (Volt Bank) began returning deposits to its customers on 29 June 2022, after announcing it intended to close its deposit taking business. No action is needed from Volt’s current stockholders relative to the ticker symbol change. The common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE and the CUSIP will remain unchanged as 928703107. is a global provider of staffing services (traditional time and materials-based as well as project-based). Our staffing services consist of workforce solutions that include providing contingent workers, personnel recruitment services, and managed staffing services programs supporting primarily administrative, technical, information technology, light-industrial and engineering positions. Our managed staffing programs involve managing the procurement and on-boarding of contingent workers from multiple providers. As a result, a decrease in the value of ON current. 4 and 5, decrease in IOFF is more compared to decrease in ION so overall ratio of ION/IOFF increases here. As the top fin width changes from 15 to 3 nm, the ratio increases by around two and a half times. Volt services global industries including aerospace, automotive, banking and finance, consumer electronics, information technology, insurance, life sciences, manufacturing, media and entertainment, pharmaceutical, software, telecommunications, transportation, and utilities. We can see that the ratio of Ion/Ioff grows as the top fin width decreases.
