NANOCYTES-Technology – Biomimetic nanoparticles for molecular recognition by molecular imprinting

Schreiber T., Niedergall K., Wojciukiewicz D., Gose T., Gruber-Traub C., Weber A., Hirth T., Tovar G.E.M., University of Stuttgart & Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, DE

Communication of living systems is done by molecular recognition. This central principle of the living world is performed at the contact sites of different objects such as single macromolecules or highly complex supramolecular assemblies as [...]

Dry native protein assays on on 3D and 2D substrates by non-contact Laser-Induced-Forward Transfer LIFT process

Genov S., Thurow I., Riester D., Borchers K., Hirth T., Weber A., Tovar G.E.M., University of Stuttgart & Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, DE

To produce nano-scale native protein trehalose patterns on 3D and 2D substrates in constant concentration by Laser-Induced-Forward Transfer (LIFT), ultrathin coatings on LIFT targets are needed [1]. The LIFT process is used as a non-contact [...]

Biofunctional core-shell nanoparticle deposition for biochip creation by printing processes

Borchers K., Weber A., Genov S., Wirth I., Grzesiak A., Tovar G.E.M., Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology, DE

Nanoparticles display a very large surface-area. Therefore, coatings of functional nanoparticles adsorbed to a solid substrate yield an enlarged interface per footprint-area which is highly appreciated for probe-immobilization in bio-chip technology [1,2]. Silica nanospheres, equipped [...]
