Printing of Polymer coatings on sensor surfaces. One of the research lines of the Applied Nanotechnology research group (Saxion, Enschede) focuses on the development of gas sensors. By applying coatings based on specific polymers (e.g. polyvinyl alcohol or polystyrene), we can modify the selectivity and sensitivity of (commercially available) sensors. Applying the coatings with specific…

Calibration of (commercial) e-noses. One of the research lines of the Applied Nanotechnology research group (Saxion, Enschede) focuses on the development of gas sensors and more specifically on the development of an e-nose system for the early detection of parasitic infestation in chicken farms. An e-nose consists of an array of sensors and by cleverly…

Synthesis of Polymer Brushes on sensor surfaces. One of the research lines of the Applied Nanotechnology research group (Saxion, Enschede) focuses on the development of gas sensors. The coating on the sensor-surface has a determining influence on the selectivity and sensitivity of the sensor. Polymer Brushes form a unique class of polymers, as they can…

ORCHIDD (BML)
Selection and testing of different antibodies for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to capture bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by pathogens that can get into the body and therefore cause existential threats. The COVID pandemic has demonstrated how disruptive even mild pathogens can be for society, and the prevalence of antimicrobial…

NANOSPRESSO-NL (BML + CH)
Production of high-quality, personalized nucleic acid nanomedicines using a microfluidic platform Orphan diseases affects not more than 1 person per 2000 in the European population, however there are between 5 000 and 8 000 rare diseases, accounting for 3.5% – 5.9% of the worldwide population. Orphan diseases have significant impact as they are often chronic,…

Electrical stimulation of Cardiomyocytes in a Heart-on-a-Chip Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a serious health status affecting 33 million worldwide. The drug development for AF is cost intensive and a time-consuming process. Organ-on-Chip technology has the potential to revolutionize drug development. While conventional processes involve animal testing, this number can be reduced significantly by using human…

Menopause (BML)
An osteoblast/osteoclast co-culture model to study menopause related osteoporosis. Menopause marks the final menstrual period in a woman’s life. In the period preceding menopause, called perimenopause, a shift in hormonal balance occurs. While some women go through this period uneventfully, others experience negative consequences that affect their physical health and workability. One of the physical…
