Combining positive attributes of planar arrays and suspension arrays, immobilized particle arrays offer a new format in which immobilized submicrometer particles are arrayed on hydrogel-coated slides, providing 100+ assay replicates within each spot. This research describes how to prepare immobilized protein arrays and how to assay the binding of labeled target molecules to the arrayed capture probes. The assay system exhibits an intrinsic dynamic range of two to three decades, with coefficients of variation from 5 to 10%. For antibody-antigen binding, target capture appears to be reaction rate limited. For labeled antibody binding to antigen on the immobilized particles, the detection limit is approximately 0.5 ng/mL. When antibodies on the immobilized particles exhibit multivalent binding of target molecules, the detection limit is approximately 0.01 ng/mL. For protein arrays, potential advantages of this format are improved coating of the capture reagent, an increased number of options for protein presentation, reduced mass transport effects, and higher density multiplexing.

Surface engineering is sought to stabilize nickel-rich layered oxide cathodes in high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries, which suffer from severe surface oxygen loss and rapid structure degradation, especially during deep delithiation at high voltages or high temperatures. Here, we propose a well-designed oxygen-constraining strategy to address the crisis of oxygen evolution. By integrating a La, Fe gradient diffusion layer and a LaFeO coating into the Ni-rich layered particles, along with incorporating an antioxidant binder into the electrodes, three progressive lines of defense are constructed: immobilizing the lattice oxygen at the subsurface, blocking the released oxygen at the interface, and capturing the residual singlet oxygen on the external surface.

On the one hand, in HS imaging, the effect of the background on the final spectra has to be removed or managed. On the other hand, there are important classes of materials that need to be immobilized for investigation.

Immobilized microorganism technology is expected to enhance microbial activity and stability and is considered an effective technique for removing soil polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). However, there are limited high-efficiency and stable bacterial preparations available. In this study, alkali-modified biochar (Na@CBC700) was used as the adsorption carrier, sodium alginate (SA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as embedding agents, and CaCl as the cross-linking agent to prepare immobilized Acinetobacter (CoIMB) through a composite immobilization method.

High concentrations of Cd (II) in wastewater have been reported several times which attracted top research attention to mitigate the pollution impacts of the contaminant. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a Zn-doped NiFeO pinecone biochar composite (ZNiF@PB) for the adsorption of Cd (II) from wastewater. FTIR confirmed immobilization of PB on the surface of ZNiF by the presence of C = O at 1638 cm, COOH at 1385 cm, C-O at 1009 cm and Fe-O at 756 cm.

Current downstream processing of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is limited in throughput and requires harsh pH conditions for mAb elution from Protein A affinity ligands. The use of an engineered calcium-dependent ligand (Z) in magnetic separation applications promises improvements due to mild elution conditions, fast processability, and process integration prospects. In this work, we synthesized and evaluated three magnetic nanoparticle types immobilized with the cysteine-tagged ligand Z-cys.
