Fully Automated Fraction Collection Instrument
Project ID: TECH-2023-10 Background Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) is the preferred method to isolate and purify exosomes and extracellular vesicles. However, this technique is labor-intensive, requiring the operator to pipette samples, buffer, and wash into individual columns. Current solutions attempt to automate fraction collection, but still...

LC/MS for Microcystin Separation and Analysis
Project ID: D2016-76 Background When water conditions are favorable for cyanobacteria growth, harmful algae blooms (HABs) can result, causing elevated levels of toxins called microcystins (MCs). There are over 300 microcystin variants. The EPA suggests that MC-LR variant concentration in drinking water should be less than 0.3 µg/L. Trace levels...

Emulsion Formation using corona discharge and electrohydrodynamic pumping
Project ID: D2020-22 Background Making water-in-oil emulsions often requires high pressure, ultrasonication, or sensitive inversion techniques that may still only result in a semi-stable colloid. In addition to emulsion shelf life, these techniques have drawbacks, such as having high-energy consumption and narrow/sensitive production parameters, needing...

Adenovirus Survivin for Detection or Treatment of Uterine Leiomyosarcoma
The Current State of Art Uterine sarcoma, though with very low incidence (4% of uterine cancer), has a high malignant degree and poor prognosis. Leiomyosarcoma is the most common type of uterine sarcoma and usually occurs in women over 40 years. Proper differentiation between benign leiomyoma and malignant uterine leiomyosarcoma can dramatically improve...

Removal and degradation of microcystins from drinking water using biofilters
Project ID: D2018-52Background Harmful algal blooms (HABs) release microcystin (MC) toxins that can end up in drinking water, causing a range of illnesses, including liver cancer. Currently, water treatment facilities remove or degrade MC using chlorination, ozonation, activated carbon adsorption, and/or floculation. However, those techniques are not...
