Breast cancer diagnosis system using the combination of carcinoembryonic antigen aptamer, horseradish peroxidase-mimic hemin, and graphene sheet

Chong S., Cho K., Chong S., Khang H.J., Lee J-H., Lee S-Y, Kim Y.T., Lee J-H., Lee S-Y, Luminescent MD, LLC, US

In order to early diagnose breast cancer with the rapid quantification of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in human serum, highly sensitive DNA aptasensor with 1,1-oxalyldiimidazole chemiluminescence (ODI-CL) detection was developed using the combination of CEA aptamer, [...]

Tracking Nanoparticles in Biological Fluids using Single Particle ICP-MS

Stephan C., Cirtiu C.M., PerkinElmer, CA

Single Particle-ICP-MS is a new operating mode in ICP-MS that is dedicated to the analysis of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) commonly used in Nanomedicine and drug delivery systems. Single Particle (SP-ICP-MS) allows the differentiation between ionic [...]

Insulator oxide film formation with acid catalyzed hydrolysis of alkoxides in supercritical fluid carbon dioxide

Wang J-S., Wai C.M., Brown G.J., Apt S.D., Campo A.M., Landis G.R., Air Force Research Laboratory, US

Insulator oxide films can be produced by hydrolysis of metal alkoxide precursors in the presence of an acid catalyst in supercritical fluid carbon dioxide(sc-CO2). In this study, a new process has been developed to cover [...]

Quantum Dot Applications in LCD Displays

Nelson E.W., McDaniel D.J., L. Eckert K, 3M Display Materials and Systems Division, US

Quantum Dot (QD) technology offers the promise of efficient and relatively inexpensive liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with a large color gamut. Quantum dot displays now offer a variety of high color performance devices for applications [...]

Temperature Stability of AgCu Nanoparticles

Sopousek J., Zobac O., Vykoukal V., Bursik J., Roupcova P., Broz P., Pinkas J., Vrestal J., Masaryk University, CZ

The Ag-Cu nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared from metallo-organic precursors by solvothermal synthesis. The CALPHAD approach was used for prediction of the Ag-Cu phase diagram in both macro and nano scales. The detailed experimental characterization was [...]

Batch Sorption of Ciprofloxacin on Kaolinitic Clay and nHematite Composite: Equilibrium and Thermodynamics Studies

Adekola F.A., Adegoke H.I., Abdulsalam I.O., University of Ilorin, NG

Ciprofloxacin is a second generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic of high use. It has a high aqueous solubility and a long environmental half-life. In this study nanoparticles of hematite and hematite-kaolin composite were prepared and characterized using [...]

Light emitting nanoparticles are getting special attention due to their use in optical technology and biomedical applications. The present work reports light emission from Erbium Oxide nanoparticles. The nanoparticles, with 43 nm diameter, were obtained [...]

Manufacturing of thermally stable nanocrystalline aluminum alloys and studying their corrosion behavior in Arabian Gulf seawater

Sherif E.M., King Saud University, SA

The as-received metal powders were used to synthesis bulk nanocrystalline Al; Al-10%Cu; and Al-10%Cu-5%Ti alloys using mechanical alloying and high frequency induction heat sintering (HFIHS). The corrosion behavior of these materials in natural Arabian Gulf [...]

Photoluminescence Studies of Green Synthesized Copper Nanoparticles

Annapurna S., Suresh Y., Sreedhar B., Singh A.K., Bhikshamaiah G., Osmania University College for Women, IN

Copper nanoparticles are prepared using a two stage chemical reduction method. Potato starch and Ocimum Sanctum leaf extract are used to stabilize the copper nanoparticles. This approach is proved to be an efficient method for [...]
