High-Density Immobilization of TCEP on Silica Beads for Efficient Disulfide Reduction and Thiol Alkylation in Peptides

Christian Heinis

Tris-(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) linked to agarose beads is widely used for reducing disulfide bridges in proteins and peptides. The immobilization of TCEP on beads allows efficient removal after reduction to prevent its reaction with alkylating reage ...

Whirling instability of an eccentric coated fibre

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo, Ludovic Pierre Gustave Keiser, Shahab Eghbali

We study a gravity-driven viscous flow coating a vertical cylindrical fibre. The destabilisation of a draining liquid column into a downward moving train of beads has been linked to the conjunction of the Rayleigh-Plateau and Kapitza instabilities in the l ...

Preparation of Highly Porous Metal-Organic Framework Beads for Metal Extraction from Liquid Streams

Emad Oveisi, Wendy Lee Queen, Shuliang Yang, Daniel Teav Sun, Li Peng, Olga Trukhina, Ilia Kochetygov, Olga Syzgantseva, Anita Justin

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer great promise in a variety of gas- and liquid-phase separations. However, the excellent performance on the lab scale hardly translates into pilot- or industrial-scale applications due to the microcrystalline nature of ...

Permeability of textile fabrics with spherical inclusions

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar

We investigated the effect of rigid spherical inclusions such as microcapsules and fillers on the permeability of fabrics by using glass beads as model inclusions. Beads with a range of diameters (40-800 mu m) and volume fractions (2.5-10%) were sieved bet ...

Dose-response curve of a microfluidic magnetic bead-based surface coverage sandwich assay

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Hüseyin Cumhur Tekin, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon

Magnetic micro-and nanoparticles ('magnetic beads') have been used to advantage in many microfluidic devices for sensitive antigen (Ag) detection. Today, assays that use as read-out of the signal the number count of immobilized beads on a surface for quant ...

Neutral solar photo-Fenton degradation of 4-nitrophenol on iron-enriched hybrid montmorillonite-alginate beads (Fe-MABs)

César Pulgarin

Hybrid montmorillonite-alginate beads (MABs) were prepared by the ion-gelation method from alginate and montmorillonite clay suspension dropped in a calcium chloride solution. Similarly, iron-enriched beads (Fe-MABs) were prepared using iron-exchanged mont ...

Attomolar protein detection using a magnetic bead surface coverage assay

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Hüseyin Cumhur Tekin

We demonstrate a microfluidic method for ultra-sensitive protein detection in serum. First, ‘large’ (2.8 μm) antibody-functionalized magnetic beads specifically capture antigen from a serum matrix under active microfluidic mixing. Subsequently, the large b ...

Simultaneous sample washing and concentration using a “trapping-and-releasing” mechanism of magnetic beads on a microfluidic chip

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs

Simultaneous washing and concentration of functionalized magnetic beads in a complex sample solution was demonstrated by applying a rotational magnetic actuation system to a microfluidic chip under continuous flow conditions. The rotation of periodically a ...

Nanoporous SiN membranes patterned by wafer-scale nanosphere lithography

Jürgen Brugger, Andreea Veronica Savu, Oscar Vazquez Mena

Nanoporous SiN membranes are interesting for a number of applications, e.g. stenciling, filtration, or tissue engineering [1-3]. The patterning of the pores requires a high resolution lithographic tool. Focused ion beam milling or e-beam lithography fulfil ...

Study of Spatio-Temporal Immunofluorescence on Bead Patterns in a Microfluidic Channel

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Venkataragavalu Sivagnanam, Hui Yang

We performed a direct immunoassay inside a microfluidic channel on patterned streptavidin-coated beads, which captured fluorescently-labeled biotin target molecules from a continuous flow. We arranged the beads in a dot array at the bottom of the channel a ...
