Biofilm Removal with Acoustic Cavitation and Lavage
… first induced in standard 96-well round –bottom microplates. These microplates were then exposed to ultrasonic cavitation and pulsed lavage for the same period, and the cleaning effectiveness of two methods were assessed. The results showed that an ultrasonic transducer can be effective in …

Modeling and Simulation of MEMS Devices
… we introduce a reduced-order model of flexible microplates under electric excitation. The model utilizes the von Karman plate equations to account for geometric nonlinearities due to large plate deflections. The Galerkin approach is employed to reduce the partial-differential equations of motion …

Modeling and Simulation of Microelectromechanical Systems in Multi-Physics Fields
… and quality factors. We extend the approach to microplates actuated by large electrostatic forces. For this case, we present a low-order model, which reduces significantly the cost of simulation. The model utilizes the nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli beam equation, the von K´arm´an plate equations, …

Distributed Feedback Laser Biosensor in Microplate Format
… incorporated into standard format 96-well microplates. A room temperature nanoreplica molding process was used to create subwavelength periodic grating structures, while a horizontal dipping process was used to apply a ~300 nm, dye-doped polymer film. In this work, the DFBLB emission …

Engineering the Optical Properties of Gold Nanostructures for Biomedical Applications
… nanocages and nanoframes, I have synthesized Au microplates using a biological macromolecule, bovine serum albumin: BSA), as the reducing agent. I exposed the reductive hydroxyl groups in the protein by unfolding the structure at an elevated temperature, under an acidic condition, and in the …

Petrogenesis and thermal history of the Kunlun Batholith, Northern Tibet
… Terrane is the most northerly of the several microplates that comprise the Tibetan Plateau. Geochronological data from the Kunlun batholith defines three distinct periods of intrusion at 390 Ma, 250 Ma and 190 Ma. A model is presented whereby the Devonian intrusions are considered to be …

Studies of Enzyme Kinetics and Inhibition Through Capillary Electrophoretic Enzyme Assays
… by bulk solution measurements in cuvettes or microplates. The development of new enzyme assays that combine the measurement of reaction rates with separation techniques is of notable importance. This research encompasses applications of capillary electrophoresis (CE) for enzyme assays. There …

Development and Application of a Fluorescence Anisotropy Microplate Assay for Analyzing the Interaction of Steroid Hormone Receptors With DNA and Coactivators
… this interaction, we used ultra low-volume microplates to develop the simple and rapid fluorescence anisotropy microplate assay (FAMA). The FAMA was applied to the binding of estrogen and progesterone receptors to their respective DNA response elements. The FAMA is also the first system …

Design and Development of a Novel Immunological Method to Quantify target-specific cysteine redox state in a microplate
… target-specificity, antibody-functionalised<br/>microplates were utilised, where IRAK-1-specific thiol oxidation could be<br/>accurately quantified in percentage terms. Using a pair-matched detector<br/>antibody enabled target protein concentration to be quantified in tandem with<br/>percentage …

Probing Exciton Dynamics in Metal–Organic Frameworks
… waveguide effect detected in bichromophoric MOF microplates reveals that excitons’ transition dipoles in MOFs can be inherently aligned with the reflecting surfaces of their surrounding microcavity, which enables potential control over excitons’ interaction with the waveguide modes confined in …

IN VITRO EFFECT OF STATINS ON STREPTOCOCCUS MUTANS, STREPTOCOCCUS SANGUIS, AND STREPTOCOCCUS SALVARIUS
… single species biofilm was assayed using sterile microplates and the MBEC Biofilm Inoculator (Innovatech). Results: Two trials indicated that the MIC of simvastatin against the selected oral bacteria was determined to be 15.6 μg/ml for S. mutans and S. sanguis, and 7.8 μg/ml for S. salivarius. The …

Mechanics of living cells: nonlinear viscoelasticity of single fibroblasts and shape instabilities in axons
… When placed between fibronectin coated microplates, fibroblasts adopt a regular, symmetrical shape and generate forces. When a constant cell length is imposed, an increase with time of the pulling force can be observed. This active behaviour can be probed in more detail by superimposing …
