• Development of a capillary based helicobacter hepaticus biosensor 

    Thomas, Theodore Seth (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
    Helicobacter hepaticus causes hepatitis in mice. Infections with H. hepaticus can invalidate animal research studies and early detection helps curtail the spread of infection. The objective of this study was to develop a ...
  • Ion-selective electrodes for simultaneous real-time analysis for soil macronutrients 

    Kim, Hak Jin, 1969- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
    Automated sensing of soil macronutrients (i.e., N, P, and K) would allow more efficient mapping of soil nutrient variability for variable-rate nutrient management. This study reports on the development of a sensor array ...
  • A novel PCR based DNA microanalyzer system for detection of viral genome 

    Bhattacharya, Shantanu, 1974- (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 ...
