Polystyrene Sulfonate Particles as Building Blocks for Nanofiltration Membranes.

Today the standard treatment for wastewater is secondary treatment. This procedure cannot remove salinity or some organic micropollutants from water. In the future, a tertiary cleaning step may be required.

Engineering of cardiac microtissues by microfluidic cell encapsulation in thermoshrinking non-crosslinked PNIPAAm gels.

Multicellular agglomerates in form of irregularly shaped or spherical clusters can recapitulate cell-cell interactions and are referred to as microtissues. Microtissues gain increasing attention in several fields including cardiovascular research. Cardiac microtissues are evolving as excellent model systems for drug testing(organ-on-a-chip), are used as tissue bricks in 3D printing processes and pave the way for improved cell replacement therapies.

Demonstration of a compact deep UV Raman spatial heterodyne spectrometer for biologics analysis.

Monoclonal antibodies and antibody fragments are increasingly important classes of biotherapeutics. However, these products are both challenging and expensive to manufacture. New process analytical technologies used to monitor these products during their manufacture are of significant interest.
