In proof-of-concept experiments, a Boolean logic-gate principle has been applied to develop a digital adrenaline biosensor based on an enzyme AND logic gate. The obtained results demonstrate that the developed digital biosensor is capable for a rapid qualitative determination of the presence/absence of adrenaline in a YES/NO statement. Such digital biosensor could be used in clinical diagnostics for the control of a correct insertion of a catheter in the adrenal veins during adrenal venous-sampling procedure.}, language = {en} } @article{GhoschBaierSchuetzetal.2016, author = {Ghosch, S. and Baier, M. and Sch{\"u}tz, J. and Schneider, Felix and Scherer, Ulrich W.}, title = {Analysis of electronic autoradiographs by mathematical post-processing}, series = {Radiation Effects and Defects in Solids: Incorporating plasma science and plasma technology}, volume = {171}, journal = {Radiation Effects and Defects in Solids: Incorporating plasma science and plasma technology}, number = {1-2}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}, address = {London}, issn = {1029-4953}, doi = {10.1080/10420150.2016.1155587}, pages = {161 -- 172}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Autoradiography is a well-established method of nuclear imaging. When different radionuclides are present simultaneously, additional processing is needed to distinguish distributions of radionuclides. In this work, a method is presented where aluminium absorbers of different thickness are used to produce images with different cut-off energies. By subtracting images pixel-by-pixel one can generate images representing certain ranges of β-particle energies. The method is applied to the measurement of irradiated reactor graphite samples containing several radionuclides to determine the spatial distribution of these radionuclides within pre-defined energy windows. The process was repeated under fixed parameters after thermal treatment of the samples. The greyscale images of the distribution after treatment were subtracted from the corresponding pre-treatment images. Significant changes in the intensity and distribution of radionuclides could be observed in some samples. Due to the thermal treatment parameters the most significant differences were observed in the ³H and ¹⁴C inventory and distribution.}, language = {en} } @article{RoeschKratzHeringetal.2016, author = {R{\"o}sch, C. and Kratz, F. and Hering, T. and Trautmann, S. and Umanskaya, N. and Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils and M{\"u}ller-Renno, C.M. and Ulber, R. and Hannig, M. and Ziegler, C.}, title = {Albumin-lysozyme interactions: cooperative adsorption on titanium and enzymatic activity}, series = {Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces}, volume = {149}, journal = {Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces}, number = {1}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, doi = {10.1016/j.colsurfb.2016.09.048}, pages = {115 -- 121}, year = {2016}, abstract = {The interplay of albumin (BSA) and lysozyme (LYZ) adsorbed simultaneously on titanium was analyzed by gel electrophoresis and BCA assay.

The utilization of pentose sugar resulted in a solvent yield of 0.231 g·g_sugar⁻¹, compared to 0.262 g·g_sugar⁻¹ using hexose. Then, the Organosolv pretreated crude cellulose fibers (CF) were enzymatically decomposed, and the resulting hydrolysate medium was analyzed for inhibiting compounds (furans, organic acids, phenolics) and treated with ionexchangers for detoxification.

In particular, screening and optimization runs with acceptable amounts of expensive and hardly available catalysts, reagents, or biomolecules are feasible with microfluidic technologies. The presented new microfluidic system is based on the inclusion of small liquid volumes by a protective shell of magnetizable microparticles. Hereby, discrete aqueous microreactor drops with volumes of 1-30 μL can be formed on a simple planar surface. A digital movement and manipulation of the microreactor is performed by overlapping magnetic forces. The magnetic forces are generated by an electrical coil matrix positioned below a glass plate. With the new platform technology, several discrete reaction compartments can be moved simultaneously on one surface. Due to the magnetic fields, the reactors can even be merged to initiate reactions by mixing or positioned above surface-immobilized catalysts and then opened by magnetic force. Comparative synthesis routes of the magnetizable shell particles and superhydrophobic glass slides including their performance and stability with the reaction platform are described. The influence of diffusive mass transport during the catalyzed reaction is discussed by evaluation finite element model of the microreactor. Furthermore, a first model dye reaction of the enzyme laccase has been established.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Tippkoetter2016, author = {Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils}, title = {Grundlagen der bio-chemischen Umwandlung}, series = {Energie aus Biomasse : Grundlagen, Techniken und Verfahren}, booktitle = {Energie aus Biomasse : Grundlagen, Techniken und Verfahren}, editor = {Kaltschmidt, Martin}, edition = {3., aktualisierte, erweiterte Auflage}, publisher = {Springer Vieweg}, address = {Berlin ; Heidelberg}, isbn = {978-3-662-47437-2 (Print)}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-662-47438-9}, pages = {1447 -- 1500}, year = {2016}, language = {de} } @article{AlKaidyKuthanHeringetal.2016, author = {Al-Kaidy, Huschyar and Kuthan, Kai and Hering, Thomas and Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils}, title = {Aqueous droplets used as enzymatic microreactors and their electromagnetic actuation}, series = {Journal of Visualized Experiments}, journal = {Journal of Visualized Experiments}, number = {Issue 126}, issn = {1940-087X}, doi = {10.3791/54643}, year = {2016}, abstract = {For the successful implementation of microfluidic reaction systems, such as PCR and electrophoresis, the movement of small liquid volumes is essential. In conventional lab-on-a-chip-platforms, solvents and samples are passed through defined microfluidic channels with complex flow control installations. The droplet actuation platform presented here is a promising alternative. With it, it is possible to move a liquid drop (microreactor) on a planar surface of a reaction platform (lab-in-a-drop). The actuation of microreactors on the hydrophobic surface of the platform is based on the use of magnetic forces acting on the outer shell of the liquid drops which is made of a thin layer of superhydrophobic magnetite particles. The hydrophobic surface of the platform is needed to avoid any contact between the liquid core and the surface to allow a smooth movement of the microreactor. On the platform, one or more microreactors with volumes of 10 µL can be positioned and moved simultaneously. The platform itself consists of a 3 x 3 matrix of electrical double coils which accommodate either neodymium or iron cores. The magnetic field gradients are automatically controlled. By variation of the magnetic field gradients, the microreactors' magnetic hydrophobic shell can be manipulated automatically to move the microreactor or open the shell reversibly. Reactions of substrates and corresponding enzymes can be initiated by merging the microreactors or bringing them into contact with surface immobilized catalysts.}, language = {en} } @article{WulfhorstDuweMerseburgetal.2016, author = {Wulfhorst, Helene and Duwe, Anna-Maria and Merseburg, Johannes and Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils}, title = {Compositional analysis of pretreated (beech) wood using differential scanning calorimetry and multivariate data analysis}, series = {Tetrahedron}, volume = {72}, journal = {Tetrahedron}, number = {46}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, doi = {10.1016/j.tet.2016.04.029}, pages = {7329 -- 7334}, year = {2016}, abstract = {The composition of plant biomass varies depending on the feedstock and pre-treatment conditions and influences its processing in biorefineries. In order to ensure optimal process conditions, the quantitative proportion of the main polymeric components of the pre-treated biomass has to be determined. Current standard procedures for biomass compositional analysis are complex, the measurements are afflicted with errors and therefore often not comparable. Hence, new powerful analytical methods are urgently required to characterize biomass. In this contribution, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was applied in combination with multivariate data analysis (MVA) to detect the cellulose content of the plant biomass pretreated by Liquid Hot Water (LHW) and Organosolv processes under various conditions. Unlike conventional techniques, the developed analytic method enables the accurate quantification of monosaccharide content of the plant biomass without any previous sample preparation. It is easy to handle and avoids errors in sample preparation.}, language = {en} }
