Dissertation Enhancement Award (Germany) International: Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy for Ultra-Sensitive Electrochemical Immunoassay

0233810 Heineman该论文增强奖支持辛辛那提大学William Heineman实验室的一名研究生在德国奥尔登堡大学化学系Gunther Wittstock实验室工作两个月。 本研究的目的是开发一种超灵敏、小型化的免疫分析方法，用于临床诊断和生物战剂的检测。 使用扫描电化学显微镜进行和检测免疫测定将达到目标。 使用微珠作为免疫测定的移动的固相增加了表面积与体积比，因为它们可以在没有溶液的情况下分散，这使扩散距离最小化。 这项研究可能会导致高密度芯片测试系统的新技术，并可能有利于检测生物战剂，如毒素，细菌，孢子和病毒。该项目也有一个明确的教育目标。 该项目将允许研究生从在另一个国家进行研究中受益。 她将培养对世界的高度赞赏，同时也学习重要的新技术技能。

0233810HeinemanThis dissertation enhancement award supports a graduate student from William Heineman's lab at the University of Cincinnati during here two-month tenure in the lab of Gunther Wittstock in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oldenburg, Germany. The goal of the research is to develop an ultrasensitive and miniaturized immunoassy applicable to clinical diagnostics and detection of biowarfare agents. The goal will be met using scanning electrochemical microscopy in to perform and detect the immunoassay. Using microbeads as a mobile solid phase for immounoassay increases the surface area to volume ratio, since they can be dispersed without solution, which minimizes diffusion distances. This research could lead to new technologies for high-density chip-based testing systems and could benefit in the detection of biowarfare agents such as toxins, bacteria, spores, and viruses.The project also has a clear educational objective. The project will allow a graduate student to benefit from performing research in another country. She will develop a heightened appreciation of the world while also learning important new technical skills.
