The diffusion of the legalization of [[wikipedia:Cannabis|cannabis]] for recreational, medicinal, and nutraceutical uses requires the development of adequate analytical methods to assure the safety and security of such products. In particular, [[wikipedia:Aflatoxin|aflatoxins]] are considered to pose a major risk for the health of cannabis consumers. Among analytical methods that allow for adequate monitoring of food safety, [[immunoassay]]s play a major role thanks to their cost-effectiveness, high-throughput capacity, simplicity, and limited requirement for equipment and skilled operators. Therefore, a rapid and sensitive [[enzyme immunoassay]] has been adapted to measure the most hazardous [[wikipedia:Aflatoxin B1|aflatoxin B<sub>1</sub>]] in cannabis products. The assay was acceptably accurate (recovery rate: 78–136%), reproducible (intra- and inter-assay means coefficients of variation 11.8% and 13.8%, respectively), and sensitive (limit of detection and range of quantification: 0.35 ng mL<sup>−1</sup> and 0.4–2 ng mL<sup>−1</sup> ...

"HEnRY: A DZIF LIMS tool for the collection and documentation of biospecimens in multicentre studies"

Well-characterized biological specimens (biospecimens) of high quality have great potential for the acceleration of and quality improvement in translational biomedical research. To improve accessibility of local specimen collections, efforts have been made to create central repositories (biobanks) and catalogues. Available technical solutions for creating professional local specimen catalogues and connecting them to central systems are cost intensive and/or technically complex to implement. Therefore, the HIV-focused Thematic Translational Unit (TTU) of the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF) developed a laboratory information management system (LIMS) called HIV Engaged Research Technology (HEnRY) for implementation into the HIV Translational Platform (TP-HIV) at the DZIF and other research networks.
