Before you launch your campaign for villagers' justice, do you understand analytical chemistry and toxicology testing?
In early June of this year, a suspected kindergarten drug-feeding incident broke out in Taiwan. Children at a private kindergarten in New Taipei City were suspected of being fed unidentified drugs by childcare staff. Upon learning of this, some parents took their children to the hospital for blood and urine tests. A total of eight children were found to have barbiturates in their systems.
Leeuwenhoek has teamed up with the National Taiwan University Institute of Forensic Medicine to immediately provide the public with barbiturate and BZD testing services to safeguard the health and safety of young children!
Recently, several kindergarten students in Taiwan were found to have traces of drugs such as barbiturates and BZD benzodiazepines in their bodies, causing widespread panic. Parents who wish to know if their children are at risk can...

Drug Analysis Methods: Immunoassay vs. Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry
There have been a lot of mixed reports recently regarding barbiturates. Whether the barbiturate test results are genuine, false negatives or positives, or whether barbiturates were actually detected, how can parents concerned about the possibility of barbiturate residues in their children find reliable information? Common medications...
Principles and Applications of Metabolome Analysis
Introduction: The metabolome is the composition of all metabolites in an organism. These metabolites are the end products of an organism's gene expression and can reflect the state of that organism's gene expression. Through metabolomics analysis, we detect metabolites in human blood, feces, or tissues,...
Application of germ-free animal models in intestinal microbiome research
The concept of germ-free animals was first proposed by Louis Pasteur in 1885, but it wasn't until 1946 that Reynier successfully bred the first germ-free mice (Yi & Li., 2012). Early germ-free mice were kept in bulky and expensive containers.
Gut Microbiota and Its Research Tools
Scientists have discovered a correlation between gut microbiota and human disease. This not only helps develop new diagnostic and prognostic tools, but also offers a new perspective and approach to understanding disease mechanisms, including the potential for novel treatments through altering the microbiome. However, changes in the gut microbiome can be influenced by the host's own genetic makeup…
Intestinal microbiota and human health
Introduction: In the history of modern medicine, the 19th century was the golden age of microbiology. Scientists laid the foundation for today's microbiology knowledge by discovering, cultivating, and elucidating microorganisms. This included Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, who discovered microorganisms through the microscope...
