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 ... -
Development of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) biosensor utilizing liquid core waveguides
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Millions of individuals are diagnosed each year with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1. Each day more individuals are receiving antiretroviral medication to suppress the amount of virus in their blood, and diminish viral ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Plasmonic-enhanced fluorescent conjugated polymer chemosensor for ultra-sensitive detection of nitroaromatic vapors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Rapid degradation of fluorescent conjugated polymers in ambient conditions imposes severe restrictions on their utility for long-term, portable sensing applications. This dissertation discusses the combined use of low-density, ... -
Quantification of cell attachment on different materials as candidate electrodes for measurement of quantal exocytosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)A high throughput lab-on-a-chip device is being developed for single cell capture for the purpose of high time resolution quantal exocytosis measurement with high probability of cell docking. This device makes use of DLC ...
