Exciting research coming out of the Williams' Lab at The City College of New York! They utilized an NS MiniTracer to characterize SWCNT cytokine sensors, featured in a recent article in ACS Sensors.

Optical Aptamer-Based Cytokine Nanosensor Detects Macrophage Activation by Bacterial Toxins Overactive or dysregulated cytokine expression is a hallmark of many acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. This is true for acute or chronic infections, neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and others. Cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) are known t...

New nanosensors for potassium detection have been created by the Budhathoki-Uprety research team at North Carolina State University. This innovative study makes use of an NS MiniTracer and is published in ACS Omega.

Development of Optical Nanosensors for Detection of Potassium Ions and Assessment of Their Biocompatibility with Corneal Epithelial Cells Imbalance of potassium-ion levels in the body can lead to physiological dysfunctions, which can adversely impact cardiovascular, neurological, and ocular health. Thus, quantitative measurement of potassium ions in a biological system is crucial for personal health monitoring. Nanomaterials can be us...

Congratulations to Bruce Weisman, President and founder of Applied NanoFluorescence on winning ECS's Richard E Smalley Research Award!

Bruce Weisman wins Electrochemical Society’s Richard E. Smalley Research Award Rice University chemist Bruce Weisman’s three-decade career in nanocarbons research has been honored with the namesake award of the Rice colleague who founded the field and sparked Weisman’s interest in it.

New research from the Budhathoki-Uprety group utilizes a MiniTracer to detect quaternary ammonium compounds.

Carbon Nanotubes for Optical Detection of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds in Complex Media Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are widely used in disinfectants, cleaners, preservatives, cosmetics, and agriculture. Recently, QACs have been detected in the human bloodstream, breast milk, and neonatal mouse brain, which shows that these compounds can cross biological barriers. In vivo studi...
