Development of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) biosensor utilizing liquid core waveguides
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Millions of individuals are diagnosed each year with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1. Each day more individuals are receiving antiretroviral ...
A novel PCR based DNA microanalyzer system for detection of viral genome
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
A micro-fluidic assay to quickly analyze microscopic samples of DNA is being developed for field applications. It consists of a micro-PCR chamber, micropumps, and micro-heaters. Additional components of the device include ...
Molecularly imprinted polymer labeled with quantum dots for detection of nitroaromatic explosives
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
A sensing device for explosive compounds is a fundamental step towards the capability to detect the presence of landmines, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and other unexploded ordinance. To detect high explosive ...
Development of a fluorescence-based protease biosensor using nanoscale platforms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The development of a protease biosensor utilizing nanomaterials is presented in this dissertation. Peptide substrates and nanomaterial platforms were investigated to increase the sensitivity and response time for the ...
Fabrication and characterization of a plasmonic grating platform for enhanced fluorescence biosensor applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) research has grown substantially over the past several years and led to many substantial discoveries in nanotechnology. SPR is a phenomenon where light can be coupled to the interface between ...
