2. 1. QCM-D based biosensing – exploring the possibilities

   Author : Erik Nilebäck; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cell morphology; drug discovery; plasminogen; protein conformation; viscoelastisicity; QCM-D; oligo ethylene glycol ; Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring; streptavidin;

   Abstract : We are constantly increasing our understanding of all biological systems and how these highly complex systems interact with each other. The high degree of complexity of these systems can be investigated in greater and greater detail by increasingly sophisticated sensing techniques. READ MORE

4. 2. QCM-D – with focus on biosensing in biomolecular and cellular systems

   Author : Erik Nilebäck; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; QCM-D; biomolecular interactions; cell-surface interaction; glycosaminoglycans; viscoelasticity; cell morphology; Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring; surface chemistry; protein conformation;

   Abstract : The high degree of complexity in biological systems is being investigated in greater and greater detail by increasingly sophisticated sensing approaches. The quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) technique stands out in this context, by probing the viscoelastic properties at interfaces. READ MORE

5. 3. Miniaturized cell and flow reactor for QCM-D measurements on fluids and soft matter

   Author : Gabriel Ohlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; soft matter materials; confined volume; Nanocell; QCM-D sensing; miniaturized flow reactor; lipid bilayer; thin films; liquid crystals;

   Abstract : Thin soft matter films are frequently used in many technical applications, where phenomena taking place in the interfacial regions, control film properties and functionality. In order to optimize the latter there is a clear need of methods and tools for probing diverse physical properties of thin soft matter films confined in a nano-sized region. READ MORE

6. 4. Nanoplasmonic sensing: from biology to catalysis

   Author : Elin Maria Kristina Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hole-mask colloidal lithography; colloidal lithography; nanoring; QCM-D.; quartz crystal microbalance; nanodisk; catalysis; LSPR; Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance; biosensing;

   Abstract : Our continuously increasing concerns about our health, safety, environment and climate has brought about a need for more sophisticated sensors that enable reliable detection of a variety of events. Sensors are today omnipresent in daily life. READ MORE

7. 5. Small-Scale Sample Handling for Studies of Liquid Crystals and Lipid-Based Soft Matter

   Author : Gabriel Ohlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fluorescence microscopy; nanocell; Microfluidics; aquaporins; liquid crystals; membrane transport; phase transitions; QCM-D; soft matter; lipid bilayer;

   Abstract : In the field of sensing in general and biosensing in particular, there is a growing need for integratingminiaturised senor elements in microfluidic systems. The advantages are several, some of which being that the consumption of, often very expensive, sample material can be reduced; sampleexchange can be optimized; sensor performance in terms of detection limits can be improved and phenomena occurring on a very small, and even single-molecule, scale can be studied.
