Predicting Dimensions in Microfluidic Paper Based Analytical Devices
(MDPI, 2020-12-26)
The main problem for the expansion of the use of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices and, thus, their mass production is their inherent lack of fluid flow control due to its uncontrolled fabrication protocols. To ...
Analytical Approach to in vitro studies of the echinocandin Caspofungin
(2020-07-24)
It is known that invasive fungal infections have become a concern around the world due to the morbidity and mortality shown. The main responsible of these infections are aspergillus, cryptococcus and candida genus. However, ...
Imidazole-based ionogel as room temperature benzene and formaldehyde sensor
(Springer, 2020-11-04)
A room temperature benzene and formaldehyde gas sensor system with an ionogel as sensing material is presented. The sensing layer is fabricated employing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) polymerized in the presence of ...
Optimization and Validation of HS-GC/MS Method for the Controlled Release Study of Microencapsulated Specific Bioattractants for Target-Plaguicide Production
(MDPI, 2021-01-13)
Insect plagues are a problem often hard to solve due to the harmful effects caused by the pesticides used to combat them. Consequently, the pesticide market is increasingly trying to develop new technologies to prevent the ...
Study of Unpicked Grapes Valorization: A Natural Source of Polyphenolic Compounds and Evaluation of Their Antioxidant Capacity
(MDPI, 2022-03-21)
Every year great amounts of high-quality wine grapes are left on the vine unpicked, and consequently lost, to control the overproduction in wine areas with limited appellation production yield. In the context of circular ...
Selective ultrasensitive optical fiber nanosensors based on plasmon resonance energy transfer
(American Chemical Society, 2020-04-03)
The facet of optical fibers coated with nanostructures enable the development of ultraminiature and sensitive (bio)chemical sensors. The reported sensors until now lack of specificity and the fabrication methods offer poor ...
Large Volume Self-powered Disposable Microfluidics by the Integration of Modular Polymer Micropumps with Plastic Microfluidic Cartridges
(ACS, 2020-12-10)
Microfluidic microsystems are often designed to analyse samples of small volume of fluid, however, some applications require the analysis of larger volumes. The ideal miniaturized microfluidic analytical device should be ...
Ionogel-based hybrid polymer-paper handheld platform for nitrite and nitrate determination in water samples.
(Elsevier, 2022-05)
[EN] Nowadays, miniaturization and portability are crucial characteristics that need to be considered for the development of water monitoring systems. In particular, the use of handheld technology, including microfluidics, ...
Gametogenesis-Related Fluctuations in Ovothiol Levels in the Mantle of Mussels from Different Estuaries: Fighting Oxidative Stress for Spawning in Polluted Waters
(MDPI, 2020-02-28)
Reactive oxygen species present a challenge for marine organisms releasing gametes into the water. Thiol-containing molecules protect cells against oxidative stress, and ovothiol (OSH), an antioxidant-reducing mercaptohistidine, ...
Advances in Microtechnology for Improved Cytotoxicity Assessment
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11-20)
In vitro cytotoxicity testing is essential in the pharmaceutical and environmental industry to study the effects of potential harmful compounds for human health. Classical assays present several disadvantages: they are ...
