Microfluidics and materials for smart water monitoring: A review
(Elsevier, 2021-03-13)
Water quality monitoring of drinking, waste, continental and seawaters is of great importance to ensure safety and wellbeing for humans, fauna and flora. Researchers are developing robust water monitoring microfluidic ...
Tunable Superparamagnetic Ring (tSPRing) for Droplet Manipulation
(Wiley-VCH, 2021-05-13)
The manipulation of droplets by magnetic field forms the basis of a fascinating technology that is currently in development. Often, the movement of droplets with magnets involves adding magnetic particles in or around the ...
Alginate Bead Biosystem for the Determination of Lactate in Sweat Using Image Analysis
(MDPI, 2021-10-09)
Lactate is present in sweat at high concentrations, being a metabolite of high interest in sport science and medicine. Therefore, the potential to determine lactate concentrations in physiological fluids, at the point of ...
TiO2 Nanotubes Alginate Hydrogel Scaffold for Rapid Sensing of Sweat Biomarkers: Lactate and Glucose
(American Chemical Society, 2021-08-11)
Versatile sensing matrixes are essential for the development of enzyme-immobilized optical biosensors. A novel three-dimensional titanium dioxide nanotubes/alginate hydrogel scaffold is proposed for the detection of sweat ...
An electroactive and thermo-responsive material for the capture and release of cells
(Elsevier, 2021-06-05)
Non-invasive collection of target cells is crucial for research in biology and medicine. In this work, we combine a thermo-responsive material, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), with an electroactive material, poly(3,4-ethyle ...
Continuous Monitoring of Cell Transfection Efficiency with Micropatterned Substrates
(Wiley, 2021-04-10)
The effect of cell-cell contact on gene transfection is mainly unknown. Usually, transfection is carried out in batch cell cultures without control over cellular interactions, and efficiency analysis ...
