Impact of dissolved oxygen during UV-irradiation on the chemical composition and function of CHO cell culture media
(Public Library of Science, 2016-03-14)Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is advantageous as a sterilization technique in the biopharmaceutical industry since it is capable of targeting non-enveloped viruses that are typically challenging to destroy, as well as smaller ... -
In Vitro Selection of Chromium-Dependent DNAzymes for Sensing Chromium(III) and Chromium(VI)
(Wiley, 2016-07-04)Chromium is a very important analyte for environmental monitoring, and developing biosensors for chromium is a long-standing analytical challenge. In this work, in vitro selection of RNA-cleaving DNAzymes was carried out ... -
Insights into the Effect of the PDMS-Layer on the Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Analyte Sorption onto the Matrix-Compatible Solid Phase Microextraction Coating
(American Chemical Society, 2017-03-07)The currently presented research investigated the performance of matrix compatible PDMS-overcoated fibers (PDMS-DVB/PDMS) as compared to unmodified PDMS/ DVB coatings using aqueous samples and employing a wide range of ... -
Numerical Simulation and Experimental Validation of Calibrant-Loaded Extraction Phase Standardization Approach
(American Chemical Society, 2016-09-06)We present the kinetics of calibrant release and analyte uptake between the sample and calibrant-loaded extraction phase, CL-EP, with a finite-element analysis (FEA) using COMSOL Multiphysics software package. Effect of ... -
A Practical Method for High-Resolution Embedded Liquid Surfaces
(Wiley, 2016-05-01)Combining high-resolution level set surface tracking with lower resolution physics is an inexpensive method for achieving highly detailed liquid animations. Unfortunately, the inherent resolution mismatch introduces several ... -
Preserving Geometry and Topology for Fluid Flows with Thin Obstacles and Narrow Gaps
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-07-01)Fluid animation methods based on Eulerian grids have long struggled to resolve flows involving narrow gaps and thin solid features. Past approaches have artificially inflated or voxelized boundaries, although this sacrifices ... -
Solid Phase Microextraction On-Fiber Derivatization Using a Stable, Portable, and Reusable Pentafluorophenyl Hydrazine Standard Gas Generating Vial
(American Chemical Society, 2017-07-05)Solid phase microextraction (SPME) on-fiber derivatization methods have facilitated the achievement of lower detection limits and targeted analysis of various substances that exhibit poor chromatographic behavior, thermal ... -
Surface-Only Liquids
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-07-01)We propose a novel surface-only technique for simulating incompressible, inviscid and uniform-density liquids with surface tension in three dimensions. The liquid surface is captured by a triangle mesh on which a Lagrangian ...
