Hypochlorite (ClO) and viscosity play a pivotal role in biological immune defense systems, it has been demonstrated that alterations in ClO may link to the modifications in intracellular viscosity. Consequently, it is crucial to develop a tool that can accurately assess these changes of ClO and viscosity concurrently. In this work, a dual-responsive fluorescent probe QM-WV based on the ICT effect for simultaneous detection of ClO and viscosity was constructed. QM-WV exhibited a signally turn-on fluorescence signal at 552 nm for ClO with favorable selectivity. Meanwhile, QM-WV displayed an exceptional 'off-on' fluorescence response at 650 nm to viscosity changes in glycerol-ethanol system. More importantly, QM-WV is capable of visually detecting ClO by using smartphone as a portable signal processing device. Based on its low cytotoxicity and stability under physiological conditions, QM-WV further enabled the detection and imaging of ClO and viscosity in HeLa cells and zebrafish.

Purpose: While new technologies support undisturbed embryo culture, non-humidified incubation raises concerns about medium stability. High-viscosity oil (HVO) was proposed to maintain osmolality, but its validation remains limited. This study investigates whether HVO offers advantages over conventional light oil (CLO) in preventing evaporation during extended dry incubation using a high-volume media drop setting and its impact on embryo development and temperature control.

Edible coatings are a sustainable alternative for preserving fruits and vegetables by reducing spoilage caused by fungi and bacteria. Starch-chitosan-based coatings with clove (CLO) and cinnamon (CNO) essential oil encapsulations used for preserving Mexican lime were synthesized and characterized. Coatings without oils (Q) and with oils encapsulated were characterized by water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), water vapor permeability (WVP), X-ray diffraction, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, and Scanning Electron Microscopy.

A capillary coating column was prepared for capillary electrochromatography (CEC) using a novel nanomaterial synthesized by chiral metal-organic frameworks (CMOFs) (Co(L-Trp)(INT)(HO)(ClO) and chiral molecularly imprinted polymers (CMIPs) as the stationary phase for enantioseparation of amlodipine. The rigid skeleton of CMOFs can be used as a support to reduce the deformation and collapse of CMIPs pores, the high specific surface area of CMOFs can increase the loading of molecular imprinting, while the viscosity of CMIPs improves the stability of stationary phases connected to the inner wall of capillaries. Compared with the capillary-coated columns with CMOFs and CMIPs as stationary phases alone, the novel capillary-coated columns utilizing the synergistic effect of CMIP@CMOF stationary phases showed a greatly improved chiral recognition (resolution: 0/0 → 5.

The development of Zn metal batteries is hindered by Zn dendrites, notorious side reactions, and performance decay in harsh temperatures. Despite the efficacy of strongly coordinating organic solvents in addressing these issues, challenges persist regarding low ionic conductivity, high viscosity, and high desolvation barrier, particularly at low temperatures. Additionally, the strongly coordinating solvents around Zn diminish anions participating in the first solvation shell, leading to the formation of an organic-rich interphase.
