2. 1. Improved Techniques for Protein Analysis Focusing on Membrane Proteins and Hydrophobic Peptides

   Author : Theres Redeby; Åsa Emmer; Jonas ergquist; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Integral membrane proteins; Hydrophobic peptides; Sample handling; MALDI-TOF-MS; Structured sample support; CE; fraction collection; microchannel; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

   Abstract : In this thesis, the vital cell functions performed by integral membrane proteins (IMPs) are briefly discussed. Such proteins are under-represented in most protein studies due to the hydrophobic nature of IMPs, which seriously complicate their solubilization, sample handling, preparation, separation and analysis.

5. 3. Experimental Heat Transfer, pressure drop, and Flow Visualization of R-134a in Vertical Mini/Micro Tubes

   Author : Wahib Owhaib; Björn Palm; Tassos Karayiannis; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Minichannel; microchannel; heat transfer; pressure drop; single-phase; two-phase; flow boiling; flow visualization; dry out; bubble behavior; flow pattern.; Mechanical energy engineering; Mekanisk energiteknik;

   Abstract : For the application of minichannel heat exchangers, it is necessary to have accurate design tools for predicting heat transfer and pressure drop. Until recently, this type of heat exchangers was not well studied, and in the scientific literature there were large discrepancies between results reported by different investigators. READ MORE

6. 4. Electrophoretic focusing in microchannels combined with mass spectrometry : Applications on amyloid beta peptides

   Author : Saara Mikkonen; Åsa Emmer; Johan Jacksén; Tapio Kotiaho; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; amyloid beta; computer simulation; electrophoresis; electrospray ionization; isoelectric focusing; isotachophoresis; MALDI; mass spectrometry; microchannel; microchip; nano-electrospray ionization; preconcentration; separation; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Analysis of low-abundance components in small samples remains a challenge within bioanalytical chemistry, and new techniques for sample pretreatments followed by sensitive and informative detection are required. In this thesis, procedures for preconcentration and separation of proteins and peptides in open microchannels fabricated on silicon microchips are presented. READ MORE

7. 5. Microfluidic Hydrodynamic of Gas-Liquid flow in Single Microchannel and Porous Media with Microchannel Network

   Author : Shuo Yang; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mass transfer; slug flow; porous media; interficial instability; fingering displacement;

   Abstract : In this thesis, a microfluidics platform with high-speed imaging system was built to investigate gas-liquid flow in single microchannel and interfacial instability in porous media with microchannel network:The mass transfer of slug flow in the rectangular and square microchannels was experimentally studied by using water as liquid phase and CO2 as gas phase. Depending on flow rates, flow patterns including slug flow, bubbly flow, and annular flow were observed in rectangular and square microchannels. READ MORE
