A low-cost, simple strip reader system using a linear movement mechanism of CD-ROM deck has been developed to characterize a lateral flow membrane-based immunochromatographic assay. The test strip reader was assembled by a CD-ROM deck and home-made optical head especially designed for immunoassays. The optical head for detecting reflected light from the test strip surface consists of green light-emitting diode, large area silicon photodiode, and anodized aluminum mounting block providing a slit structure for cutting light from the LED. The stepping motor of the deck was operated in the full step mode, whose distance of each reading point is about 0.15mm. The performance of the strip reader was tested by analysis of HBV(hepatitis B virus) antigen test kit. This strip reader can be useful for inexpensive, disposable, and membrane-based assays that provide visual evidence of the presence of an analyte in a liquid sample.

An immunochromatography (ICG) strip test using a nanocolloidal gold-antibody probe was developed and optimized for the rapid detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). A monoclonal antibody specific to AFB1 was produced from the cloned hybridoma cell (AF78), coupled with nanocolloidal gold, and distributed on the conjugate pad of the ICG strip test. The visual detection limit of the ICG strip test was 0.5 ng/ml, and this method showed a cross-reaction to aflatoxin B2, G1, and G2. In total, 172 grain and feed samples were collected and analyzed by both the ICG strip test and HPLC. The results of the ICG strip test showed a good agreement with those obtained by HPLC. These results indicated that the ICG strip test has a potential use as a rapid and cost-effective screening tool for the determination of AFB1 in real samples and could be applied to the preliminary screening of mycotoxin in food and agricultural products, generating results within 15 min without complicated steps.

밭 토양 특히 시설재배 토양의 질소시비량을 결정하기 위한 효율적 검정법으로 확인된 $NO_3-N$의 간이 검정법을 개발하기 위하여 Hanna Ion Specific meter를 이용한 비색법과 Test strip Reflectometer를 이용한 측정법을 선정하고, 실험실 분석법인 Specific Ion Meter에 의한 이온 전극법 및 Kjeldahl 증류법과 함께 비교 분석하였다. 평가방법은 토양중 $NO_3-N$ 함량이 $25mg\;kg^{-1}$과 $55mg\;kg^{-1}$인 두 토양에 대하여 각 분석방법을 7반복씩 수행하여 표준편차를 비교하였고, 두 토양에 $NO_3-N$ 표준용액을 첨가하여 $NO_3-N$ 함량이 각각 100, 150, 200, 250, $300mg\;kg^{-1}$인 표준농도 계열에 대하여 7반복으로 분석하여 회수율을 비교하였다. 또한 $NO_3-N$ 함량이 $10mg\;kg^{-1}$에서 $340mg\;kg^{-1}$으로 분포되는 시설재배 토양 20개 시료에 대하여 3반복씩 분석하여 $NO_3-N$ 농도에 따른 측정치의 신뢰도를 비교하였다. 분석방법에 따른 측정치의 신뢰도와 회수율은 이온 전극법이 가장 양호하였고 Kjeldahl 증류법, Test strip 간이법, Hanna 비색법의 순이었다. 간이 검정법에 따른 비교에서 Hanna 비색법은 낮은 농도와 높은 농도에서 큰 오차를 보였으나 Test strip 간이법은 실험실 정밀분석법인 이온 전극법 및 Kjeldahl 증류법과 버금가는 신뢰도와 95% 이상의 회수율을 보였다. 따라서 단순한 분석절차와 짧은 분석시간을 고려해 볼 때 Test strip 간이법은 질소 시비량의 결정을 위한 현장의 간이 검정법으로 활용 가능한 것으로 평가되었다.

Strip bending test has been frequently utilized to measure the mechanical properties of freestanding thin films in substitute for the micro-tensile test. However, in spite of its simplicity and reliability, strip bending test has a few problems, for example, the measurement of strain and the calculation of stress at zero strain. In this study, these problems are precisely reviewed and proved. Upon this review, strip bending tester has been developed, which uses the confocal laser displacement meter to measure the deformed configuration of the specimen and the possibility and limitation of this testing system is carefully investigated including the estimation of uncertainty of the measurement of strain. Finally, to prevent errors and to improve the accuracy of this testing system, the shape of the specimen has been carefully studied and is proposed.

The frictional characteristics of Zn-Ni coated steel sheets were investigated by draw bead test and strip draw test. In strip draw test, the frictional characteristics were evaluated by the drawing force ratio (Tc/Ts) for half coating-stripped specimens. It is clarified that the drawing force ratio obtained by strip draw test is a convenient parameter compared to coefficient of friction obtained by draw bead test to evaluate the frictional characteristics of Zn-Ni coated steel sheets.

This study tried to examine the suitability of strip casting process such as PFC (Planar Flow Casting) method for soldering Au-Sn strip. The effect of heat treatment on the tensile behavior and mechanical properties of an Au-Sn strip was investigated through tensile test, micro hardness test, X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, and TEM observations. It was apparent that 20-mm width Au-Sn strip could be well produced by using planar flow casting process. Tensile results showed that tensile strength increased from 338.3MPa to 310MPa and plastic strain improved from 0% to 1.5% with heat treatment ($170^{\circ}C$/70 hrs.). The microstructure of Au-Sn strip mainly consisted of two phases; $Au_5Sn(\zeta)$ and AuSn($\sigma$). It was also found that inhomogeneous amorphous local structure continuously changed to the homogeneous two phases microstructure with heat treatment. The fractographical observation after tensile test indicated the cleavage fracture mode of as-casted Au-Sn strip. On the other hand, the heat treated Au-Sn strip showed that fracture propagated along interface between brittle AuSn and ductile $Au_5Sn$ phases. The deformation behavior of strip casted Au-Sn alloy with microstructural evolution and the improve method for ductility of this alloy was also suggested.

Nanometer-sized structures are being applied to many devices including micro/nano electronics, optoelectronics, quantum devices, MEMS/NEMS, biosensors, etc. Especially, the thin film with submicron thickness is a basic structure for fabricating these devices, but its mechanical behaviors are not well understood. The mechanical properties of the thin film are different from those of the bulk structure and are difficult to measure because of its handling inconvenience. Several techniques have been applied to mechanical characterization of the thin film, such as nanoindentation test, micro/nano tensile test, strip bending test, etc. In this study, we focus on the strip bending test because of its high accuracy and moderate specimen preparation efforts, and measure Au thin film, which is a very popular material in micro/nano electronic devices. Au film is deposited on Si substrate by evaporation process, of which thickness is 100nm. Using the strip bending test, we obtain elastic modulus, yield and ultimate tensile strength, and residual stress of Au thin film.

A non-instrumental immunochromatographic (ICG) strip-test and direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DC-ELISA) for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) determination were developed and optimized. The detection limits of ICG strip-test and DC-ELISA were 0.5 and 0.004 ng/mL, respectively, and these methods possessed a cross-reaction to aflatoxins. The results of spiked samples by both methods were coincided with the amount spiked AFB1 and the comparative analyses of 172 real samples by 2 immunoassays and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) showed a good agreement. Especially, the ICG strip-test is easier to perform and quicker, but less sensitivity than DC-ELISA. Both methods could analyze a high sample throughput with short time, but the sample throughput of ICG strip-test was better. Therefore, the ICG strip-test can be used as a simple, easy, non-instrumental, and fast screening technique for AFB1 determination.

대장균군 검사용 간이 시험지는 본 실험실에서 국내 최초로 고안, 개발하였으며 이 간이 시험지법은 현장 검사법의 하나로 대장균군이 내는 succinic acid dehydrogenase 때문에 tetrazolium salt가 환원되어 적색 반점을 형성하는 것을 이용한 방법으로서 이 간이 시험지의 제조는 대체로 종래의 표준 평판법과 거의 동일한 조성의 배지와 시약을 사용하여 여지에 흡착시킨 후, 건조시켜($60^\circ$C) 멸균한 것으로 표준 평판법과 어떤 상관관계가 있는가를 검토하였다. 이 간이 시험지의 제조에서는 bile salt No. 3를 deoxycholate로 대체하여 제조 원가를 절감하였고, 또한 일본에서 현재 시판되고 있는 제품과 품질 비교시험을 하여 더 좋은 결과를 얻었으며 종래의 표준 평판법과 비교하였을 때도 오히려 표준 평판법 (24-48시간 배양)보다 빠른 시간(16-20시간 배양)내에 판정할 수 있는 이 점이 있으며, 표준 평판법에서는 없어서는 안될 배지나 배양 접시, pipette등의 자료 및 기구가 일체 필요없고 언제 어디서나 현장에서 직접 시험할 수 있어 매우 간편하며 또한 저렴한 가격으로 제조 할 수 있는 경제성이 높은 이점을 갖고 있다.
