3D Printed Micro-Scaffolds Loaded by Inkjet Printing With in-Precise Amount of Drug

Jürgen Brugger, Jongmoon Jang, Christopher Chi Wai Tse, Fengyi Zheng

We propose a novel combination of two-photon polymerization (2PP) three-dimensional (3D) micro-manufacturing with drop-on-demand inkjet printing (DOD IJP) to fabricate 3D microporous scaffolds embedded with minute quantities of releasable drug. We designed ...

Cross-talk between emulsion drops: how are hydrophilic reagents transported across oil phases?

Bart Deplancke, Esther Amstad, Antoine Claude Jean Vian, Gianluca Nicolas Etienne, Marjan Biocanin

Emulsion drops are frequently used as vessels, for example, to conduct biochemical reactions in small volumes or to perform screening assays at high throughputs while consuming minimal sample volumes. These applications typically require drops that do not ...

Assessment of human exposure to pesticides by hair analysis: The case of vegetable-producing areas in Burkina Faso

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Edouard René Gilbert Lehmann, Christelle Oltramare, Jean-Jacques Stéphane Nfon Dibie

The present work assesses human exposure to pesticides in vegetable-producing areas in Burkina Faso, using hair as an indicator. The study design includes a comparison between operators who are occupationally exposed while working in the fields and a refer ...
