Disclosed is a preparation technical method capable of preparing a large number of pathogenic tau proteins having a pathological conformation similar to that in the brain of a patient with neurodegenerative diseases by means of in vitro preparation and continuous multi-round amplification. The method can achieve continuous multi-round amplification of a patient brain-derived pathological tau protein by using only a small amount of the patient brain-derived pathological protein as a template, a recombinant human-derived tau protein monomer, and a negatively charged polyanion compound as an inducing cofactor, thereby achieving the in vitro preparation of a large amount of the pathological tau protein. In addition, the pathological tau protein prepared by the method can maintain the special pathological conformation of the original tau protein of the disease, has the same pathological activity as the original tau protein, and can be used for probe screening, antibody preparation, and verification model development.

0000 A method includes contacting one or more volatile organic compounds (“VOCs”) evolved from a sample to one or more detection regions configured for sensitivity against one or more VOCs. The contacting causes a change to the detection regions that is visible to the human eye. The method also includes determining the presence or absence of a VOC by comparing the change to the detection regions to a key, with the key being a visible change. A system utilizing the method is also described.
