  1. 1. Validation of anti-cytokeratin antibodies used in rapid cancer diagnostics by isoelectric focusing and QCM technology

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Biokemi

    Author : Reneh Kostines; [2021]
    Keywords : IEF; Isoelectric focusing; QCM; Attana; Cytokeratin; Keratin; Attana; Anti-cytokeratin; cancer; UBC; IDL; epithelial carcinomas; Antibody validation; Biosensor; Biosensors;

    Abstract : Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins. In the human body, antibodies areproduced by plasma cells, mainly T and B cells which are included inthe adaptive immune system. The production of antibodies is stimulatedby antigens. The binding between an antigen-specific antibody and itsantigen can be like the interconnect between a lock and a key. READ MORE

  3. 2. THE ROLE OF WATER PURITY IN EMULSIFICATION AND REMOVAL OF OIL FROM SOLID SURFACES

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)

    Author : Andriani Tsompou; [2021]
    Keywords : ultra-pure water; detergency; detachment of oil from solid surfaces; washing; cleaning;

    Abstract : Detergents are broadly used in our everyday life for cleaning and washing procedures. They are however, a source of water pollution and can have a negative effect on human health and the environment. To reduce their negative impact, a new trend of using only pure water for washing and cleaning applications is being implemented. READ MORE

  4. 3. Electrically Modified Quartz Crystal Microbalance to Study Surface Chemistry Using Plasma Electrons as Reducing Agents

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Kemi

    Author : Pentti Niiranen; [2021]
    Keywords : Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition; PECVD; Quartz crystal microbalance; QCM;

    Abstract : Metallic films are important in various applications, such as electric devices where it can act as contacts. In electrical devices, the substrate typically consists of silicon dioxide (SiO2) which is a temperature-sensitive substrate. READ MORE

  5. 4. Modeling transport phenomena with COMSOL Multiphysics - Adsorptive membrane fouling in lignocellulosic biorefineries and lessons learned from it

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Linnéa Petersson; [2020]
    Keywords : QCM-D; Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring; Hemicellulose; GGM; Galactoglucomannans; Adsorption; Membrane fouling; COMSOL; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The separation of hemicelluloses, like glactoglucomannans, from lignocellulosic process streams is an important step in building profitable lignocellulosic biorefineries. The most common method for the separation is membrane filtration, however, it has the draw-back of being sensitive to membrane fouling. READ MORE

  6. 5. Biophysical differences between COPD, CF and healthy airways mucus.

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa och samhälle (HS)

    Author : Vladislav Genevskiy; [2020]
    Keywords : CF; COPD; mucus; structure;

    Abstract : An improved understanding of the mucus biophysical alteration in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF) patients is a milestone towards a more accurate and effective treatment of these common and highly debilitating conditions. Little is known about the variations in mucus structure between ill and healthy individuals. READ MORE
