1. 11. Point-of-care beta-hydroxybutyrate determination for the management of diabetic ketoacidosis based on flexible laser-induced graphene electrode system

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Sensor- och aktuatorsystem

   Author : Simon Andersson; [2021]
   Keywords : Biosensor; Hydroxybutyrate; Point-of-care; Electrochemical; Enzyme; HB; HBD; Dehydrogenase; Ketosis; Ketones; Diabetes; Immobilisation; Chitosan; Gluteraldehyde; PVB; NADH; NAD ; eHealth; Toluidine blue; Cyclic Voltammetry; Amperometry; Potentiometry; Electro Chemistry; BSA;

   Abstract : Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening condition that can appear in patients with diabetes. High ketones in the blood lead to acidity of the blood. For DKA diagnosis and management, ketones such as hydroxybutyrate (HB) can be used to quantify the severity of the disease. READ MORE

3. 12. Development of an Affibody-based Prodrug Against HER2 for Cancer Therapy

   University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

   Author : Cornelia Westerberg; [2021]
   Keywords : Affibody; therapeutic protein; prodrug; affibody-based prodrug; HER2-targeted therapy;

   Abstract : Affinity proteins constitute an important category of cancer therapeutics. Owing to properties such as high target affinity and selectivity, therapeutic proteins offer more targeted therapy than small molecule drugs. The target molecules are typically proteins that are overexpressed on the surface of tumour cells, such as membrane-bound receptors. READ MORE

4. 13. LactateStat: Wearable Electronics and Software for Real-Time Lactate Monitoring in Sweat

   University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

   Author : Emil Ekelund; [2021]
   Keywords : Sports Technology; Wearable; Potentiostat; Real-time; Lactate; Sweat; Idrottsteknologi; Bärbar; Potentiostat; Realtidsövervakning; Laktat; Svett;

   Abstract : Lactate is an important biomarker in sports and the lactate threshold concept is one of the best indicators of endurance performance in an athlete. However, to quantify the lactate threshold, an invasive method to take a blood sample must be used. READ MORE

5. 14. Development of innovative multi-physics solutions to optimize biological measure performance

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Mathilde Aubret; [2020]
   Keywords : Camera variability; statistics; image processing; LFIA; microfluidic; modelling;

   Abstract : Paper strips are becoming widely used for blood testing and particularly with embedded immunoassays. Among the so called "Point of Care" devices, the association of LFIA tests with a reading technology able to capture the strip and analyze its composition to output the biological result is advantageous in many ways.

6. 15. Biosensor based on immobilized amine transaminase for detection of amphetamine

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Clara Öh; [2020]
   Keywords : amine transaminases ATA ; enzyme immobilization; biosensor; covalent immobilization; ionic immobilization; amphetamine; histidine-tagged enzyme; Poly methyl methacrylate PMMA ;

   Abstract : Amine transaminases (ATA) catalyse the transfer of an amino group from one molecule and replaces a ketone or aldehyde with the amino group, the amino group on the amino-donor is replaced with a ketone or aldehyde. This enzyme, ATA from Chromobacterium violaceum, has previously been used to catalyse the reaction involving amphetamine, therefore, it might be possible to use this enzyme to convert amphetamine and the product absorbs in the UV spectrum and can therefore be measured spectrophotometrically.
