Acoustofluidic large-scale mixing for enhanced microfluidic immunostaining for tissue diagnostics

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Diego Gabriel Dupouy, Muaz Salama Abdelmonem Draz

The usage of microfluidics for automated and fast immunoassays has gained a lot of interest in the last decades. This integration comes with certain challenges, like the reconciliation of laminar flow patterns of micro-scale systems with diffusion-limited ...

Prototropic Exchange Governs T-1 and T-2 Relaxivities of a Potential MRI Contrast Agent Nanozeolite Gd-LTL with a High pH Responsiveness

Lothar Helm

Aqueous suspensions of lanthanide exchsanged zeolite LTL have been investigated by 1H, 17O NMR, and EPR relaxivity studies. Both the longitudinal and the transverse relaxivity of these Gd3+ loaded materials are strongly pH dependent and therefore, they hav ...

Probing titanate nanowire surface acidity through methylene blue adsorption in colloidal suspension and on thin films

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Endre Horvath

The interaction of the cationic dye methylene blue (MB) with titanate nanowires (TiONWs) was investigated in different pH environments using visible spectroscopy and electrophoresis on thin films as well as in aqueous suspension. The surface charge of the ...

Photocatalytic and phototoxic properties of TiO2-based nanofilaments: ESR and AFM assays

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Andrzej Kulik, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Katarzyna Pierzchala

There is uncertainty in understanding of the relationship between physico-chemical parameters of nanosized titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) and its toxicity when brought into contact with living cells. This study provides a multidisciplinary experimental insig ...

Cathode-supported micro-tubular SOFCs based on Nd1.95NiO4 + δ: Fabrication and characterisation of dip-coated electrolyte layers

Heinrich Hofmann, Jan Van Herle, Paul Bowen, Josef Andreas Schuler, Ulrich Aschauer, Henning Lübbe

Fabrication conditions to obtain dense electrolyte double layers on a porous micro-tubular cathode substrate were investigated. Porous tubes of a nickelate material, Nd1.95NiO4 + δ, were fabricated by cold-isostatic pressing (CIP) and sintering. Thin ﬁlms ...

Multiple scattering in optical coherence tomography. II. Experimental and theoretical investigation of cross talk in wide-field optical coherence tomography

Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Stéphane Bourquin, Boris Clément Karamata, Markus Laubscher

We present a comprehensive study of multiple-scattering effects in wide-field optical coherence tomography (OCT) realized with spatially coherent illumination. Imaging a sample made of a cleaved mirror embedded in an aqueous suspension of microspheres reve ...
