The disclosure provides methods, kits, and devices for determining an amount of hemoglobin S and/or an amount of total hemoglobin, and optionally, expressing the amount of hemoglobin S as a percentage. Devices of the disclosure may be used as point-of-care diagnostic systems accessible for use to a layperson, i.e., an individual with minimal or no medical training or expertise.

Point of care sickle cell test

A method of removing a toxic compound comprising contacting the toxic compound with a particle having two regions, the first region containing a detoxifying enzyme and the second region containing a material selected to partition the toxic compound into the second region. The particle may be a nanoparticle.

Detoxification and decontamination using nanotechnology therapy

The subject invention provides microemulsions having, as one component thereof, electron-deficient aromatic rings, e.g.. di(trifluoromethyi) benzene, for efficient separation and/or isolation of target molecules, e.g., bupivacaine.

Microemulsions for selective molecular separation

A particle with two regions, the first region contains a detoxifying enzyme and a second region that partitions toxic compounds. The particle may be a nanoparticle.

A microemulsion delivery system for water insoluble or sparingly water soluble drugs that comprises a long polymer chain surfactant component and a short fatty acid surfactant component, with the amount of each being selected to provide stable microemulsion or micellar systems.
