Automated segmentation of multiple red blood cells with digital holographic microscopy

We present a method to automatically segment red blood cells (RBCs) visualized by digital holographic microscopy (DHM), which is based on the marker-controlled watershed algorithm. Quantitative phase images of RBCs can be obtained by using off-axis DHM alo ...

Influence of diamond surface termination on thermal boundary conductance between Al and diamond

Christian Monachon, Ludger Weber

The effect of diamond surface treatment on the Thermal Boundary Conductance (TBC) between Al and diamond is investigated. The treatments consist in either of the following: exposition to a plasma of pure Ar, Ar:H and Ar:O, and HNO3:H2SO4 acid dip for vario ...

Potential of a plasma bound between two biased walls

Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Julien Stanislas Pierre Dominski

An analytical study is presented for an one-dimensional, steady-state plasma bound between two perfectly absorbing walls that are biased with respect to each other. Starting from a description of the plasma sheaths formed at both walls, an expression relat ...

Clinical Validation of a Blood Filtration Element for Plasma Separation at the Point of Care

Nico de Rooij, Peter Van der Wal

In this contribution we present our work on filtration of plasma from whole blood in a polymer-based microfluidic system. The absorption of pathogens was found to be low; therefore our system is valid for clinical trials. The blood filtration element is ca ...

Study of interleukin absorption in a blood filtration element for plasma separation

Nico de Rooij, Robert Schaller, Peter Van der Wal

In clinical diagnostics, the fluidic part for sample-preparation should not absorb any of the substances of interest. In this study, the absorption of 4 different interleukins was investigated in a newly developed microfluidic blood filtration element (BFE ...

Phage-encoded combinatorial chemical libraries based on bicyclic peptides

Christian Heinis

Here we describe a phage strategy for the selection of ligands based on bicyclic or linear peptides attached covalently to an organic core. We designed peptide repertoires with three reactive cysteine residues, each spaced apart by several random amino aci ...

Continuous-flow separation of cells in a lab-on-a-chip using "liquid electrodes" and multiple-frequency dielectrophoresis

Nicolas Demierre

This thesis reports on the integration of continuous-flow cell separation method for lab-on-a-chip applications. Cell separation methods are widely used in biology to prepare samples prior to analysis. There is a need for a highly sensitive separation meth ...

Peptide functionalized poly(L-lysine)-g-poly(ethylene glycol) on titanium: resistance to protein adsorption in full heparinized human blood plasma

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

The graft copolymer poly(L-lysine)-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLL-g-PEG) and its RGD- and RDG-functionalized derivs. (PLL-g-PEG/PEG-peptide) were assembled from aq. solns. on titanium (oxide) surfaces. The polymers were characterized by NMR in order to d ...

Biotechnology in Lausanne. The Rh D project

Urs von Stockar, Florian Maria Wurm, Ian William Marison, Nicolas Mermod

A review is given with 2 refs. Hemolytic disease of the newborn is an often fatal condition of some newborn babies due to the immunogenicity of their Rh D pos. erythrocytes in the Rh D neg. mother. This condition can be prevented by injecting anti-Rh D ant ...

The pharmacokinetics of furosemide in anaesthetized horses after bilateral ureteral ligation

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

The pharmacokinetics of furosemide were investigated in anaesthetized horses with bilateral ureteral ligation (BUL) with (n = 5) or without (n = 5) premedication with phenylbutazone. Horses were administered an intravenous (i.v.) bolus dose of furosemide ( ...
