This paper describes a lab-on-a-chip device for continuous liquid/solid chromatography measurements. Chromatographic separations of phenolic test solutions as well as of vitamins are illustrating the ability and versatility of the system. The dependence of ...
The flow of two immiscible fluids was investigated in rectangular glass microchannels with equivalent diameters of 269 and 400μm. Deionised water, dyed toluene and hexane were selected as probe fluids. Flow patterns were obtained for Y- and T-junction ...
We present a thermally activated solvent bonding technique for the formation of embedded microstructures in polymer. It is based, on the temperature dependent solubility of polymer in a liquid that is not a solvent at room temperature. With thermal activat ...
The derivatization of cysteine-containing peptides with benzoquinone compounds is rapid, quantitative and specific in acidic media. The conversion of cysteines into hydrophobic benzoquinone-adducted residues in peptides is used here to alter the chromatogr ...
Historically, the thousands of compounds found in oils constituted an “unresolved complex mixture” that frustrated efforts to analyze oil weathering. Moreover, different weathering processes inflict rich and diverse signatures of compositional change in oi ...
Product isolation increasingly becomes a major bottleneck in molecular biotechnology. This is especially the case for the sensitive proteineous substances (recombinant proteins, antibodies) and lately also DNA, usually produced in low concentration. The cu ...
This thesis reports on the development of technologies and methods for a microfiuidic device for continuous pressure-driven flow-injection analysis. Chip based, pressure-driven liquid chromatographic (LC) systems are often avoided due to the difficulties e ...
A gel probe equilibrium sampler has been developed to study arsenic (As) geochemistry and sorption behavior in sediment porewater. The gels consist of a hydrated polyacrylamide polymer, which has a 92% water content. Two types of gels were used in this stu ...
Micelles formed from amphiphilic block copolymers have been explored in recent years as carriers for hydrophobic drugs. In an aqueous environment, the hydrophobic blocks form the core of the micelle, which can host lipophilic drugs, while the hydrophilic b ...
The removal of natural organic matter (NOM) using nanofiltration (NF) is increasingly becoming an option for drinking water treatment. Low molecular weight LMW organic compounds are nevertheless only partially retained by such membranes. Bacterial regrowth ...
