• Sensor measures oxygen content of breath
  Oxygen saturation in the blood that is either too low or too high can cause lasting physical harm or even death. This is why patients' oxygen concentrations are monitored continuously in both inten...
• New approach in the synthesis of complex natural substances
  They are found as fragrances in cosmetics or as flavorings in food, and form the basis of new medications: Terpenes are natural substances that occur in plants, insects and sea sponges. They are di...
• A virus could help save billions of gallons of wastewater produced by fracking
  An estimated 168 billion gallons of wastewater - or produced water - is generated annually by the Permian Basin fracking industry, according to a 2022 report by the Texas Produced Water Consortium....
• Vaccinia Virus - New Insights into the Structure and Function of the Poxvirus Prototype
  In 2022 an outbreak of infections with the mpox virus - formerly known as monkeypox - was observed in Europe. As a result, interest in poxviruses has increased again. An international research team...
• Biophysics: Testing how well biomarkers work
  LMU researchers have developed a method to determine how reliably target proteins can be labeled using super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. Modern microscopy techniques make it possible to exa...

Technical Papers for Analytical Laboratories

• Assessment of the Feasibility of 2- and 3-Layer Measurements by Means of LFA
  Determination of the thermal conductivity of multi-layer samples is a challenge not only for the measuring technology, but also for the operator. The Proteus® LFA soft- ware offers the possibility of measuring 2- and 3-layer samples. The analysis is carried out according to Hartmann [1] up to Pro...
• Comparison of the Cytotoxicity and Leaching Effects between different pipette tips
  A pipette and a pipette tip comprise a system which ensures precise results in any laboratory procedure involving liquid handling steps. Whereas the pipette can be used for years, the plastic tip belongs to the single-use consumables which contribute to laboratory waste, and which must be taken i...
• Identify and quantify different plastic compositions in the recycling stream
  Plastics are part of our daily life in various ways. While technical parts are typically used for many years, the vast majority of packaging items are only used for days or weeks. At the same time, packaging applications make up around 50 % of the plastic production. Since plastics have a poor bi...
