Coiled planar capillary chromatography columns (0.9 mm I.D. × 60 cm L) were 3D printed in stainless steel (316L), and titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) alloys (external dimensions of ~5 30 58 mm), either slurry packed with various sized reversed-phase octadecylsilica particles, or filled an situ prepared methacrylate based monolith. coupled directly Peltier thermoelectric direct contact heater/cooler modules. Preliminary results show the potential using such future portable chromatographic devices.
A new continuous fluorometric method for measuring GUS activity shows a superior analytical performance to the established discontinuous method.
Ecosystems in the Alps are considered hotspots of climate and land use change. In addition, alpine regions usually characterized by complex morphologies, which make measurement (especially long term) states fluxes water, energy matter particularly challenging. Therefore, there is a limited availability information modelling tools to characterize actual ecosystem conditions, simulate future scenarios. Despite fact that high altitude areas meteorological forcing extremely variable space time,...
Globally, the need for "on-site" algal-toxin monitoring has become increasingly urgent due to amplified demand fresh-water and safe, "toxin-free" shellfish fish stocks. Herein, we describe first reported, Lab-On-A-Disc (LOAD) based-platform developed detect microcystin levels in situ, with initial detectability of saxitoxin domoic acid also reported. Using recombinant antibody technology, LOAD platform combines immunofluorescence centrifugally driven microfluidic liquid handling achieve a...
Understanding hydrological processes in large, open areas, such as catchments, and further modelling these are still research questions. The system proposed this work provides an automatic end-to-end pipeline from data collection to information extraction that can potentially assist hydrologists better understand the using a data-driven approach. In work, performance of low-cost off-the-shelf self contained sensor unit, which was originally designed used monitor liquid levels, AdBlue, fuel,...
Globally, fresh and brackish water sources are constantly under treat of exposure to toxins. Two the most prevalent toxins from blooms cyclic peptide microcystin family, formed cyanobacterial, kainic acid analog neurotoxin known as domoic acid. There is therefore a significant need for constant cost-effective `on-site' algal-toxin monitoring respond increasing demand safe `toxin-free' freshwater, shellfish fish stocks. Herein, we describe Lab-On-A-Disc (LOAD) platform which was developed...
Water and energy balances have been monitored at a scale which is comparable with remote sensing one in three North-West Italy sites. One step has to evaluate the performance of land surface model, this work Community Land Model. The measurements taken horizontal hundreds meters are also compared vertical profiles local sensors soil moisture. At grassland mountain site (2600 m asl) eddy covariance data from 6 years, while 25 high mast forest 3 years. scintillometer cosmic ray vineyard...
Field-effect transistors (FETs) have been around for more than half a century and are at the heart of everyday electronics, but field-effect transistor based (bio)sensors an emerging field with huge potential that is yet to be explored. These useful in detection various analytes including ions, small organic molecules, DNA, proteins, cells. However, equipment such as parameter analysers or source meters used characterize FET-based typi-cally bulky, expensive complex, limiting access their...
