A polymethacrylate-based molecularly imprinted monolithic column bearing mixed functional monomers, using non-covalent imprinting approach, was designed for the rapid separation of nitroimidazole compounds. The new monolithic column has been prepared via simple in situ polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate and ethylene dimethacrylate, using (S)-ornidazol...

Effective microchip extraction of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from crude biological matrixes has been demonstrated using silica beads or hybrid phases composed of beads and sol-gel. However, the use of monolithic sol-gels alone for extraction of human genomic DNA has been more difficult to define. Here we describe, for the first time, the successful use of monolithic tetramethyl orthosilicate-b...

Title of thesis: MONOLITHIC SUSPENDED OPTICAL WAVEGUIDES FOR

Multichannel Monolithic Quartz Crystal Microbalance (MQCM), in which an array of electrodes is fabricated on a monolithic quartz wafer, is a very attractive approach for miniaturization using Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems(MEMS) technology for high throughput chemical or biological sensor systems. In this paper, we demonstrate and validate a monolithic QCM sensor array for gas detections. The...

Monolithic column materials offer great advantages as chromatographic media in bioseparations and as solid-supports in biocatalysis. These single-piece porous materials have an interconnected ligament structure that limits the void volume inside the column, thus increasing the efficiency without sacrificing the permeability. The preparation of monolithic materials is easy, reproducible and has ...

We present a monolithic approach to large-deformation fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems that allows for choosing fully implicit, single-step and single-stage time integration schemes in the structure and fluid field independently, and hence is tailored to the needs of the individual field. The independent choice of time integration schemes is achieved by temporal consistent interpolati...

Using YPLG (Tyr-Pro-Leu-Gly), a tetrapeptide, as the template, an imprinted monolithic column was prepared and applied to the selective recognition of oxytocin based on the epitope approach and capillary electrochromatography (CEC). By optimizing the polymerization solution in terms of functional monomer, cross-linking reagent, porogen, and imprinted template via CEC evaluations of synthesized ...
