Monitoring of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation on platelet storage bag surfaces Open
Platelet concentrates (PCs) are stored at 20–24˚C in a biologically favorable environment that may support bacterial growth. Staphylococcus epidermidis , a typical contaminant, can form biofilms in PCs, complicating detection and increasin…

Dynamic monitoring of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation using a microfluidic approach Open
The crystal violet (CV) assay was the standard for quantifying biofilm biomass but is limited by its inability to replicate dynamic environmental conditions. In contrast, microfluidic flow cells provided a promising alternative, enabling r…

Estimating retinal blood oxygenation from diffuse reflectance spectra of semi-infinite tissue using principal component analysis Open
Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) is a promising technique for non-invasive monitoring of tissue oxygen saturation (StO 2 ). However, the interpretation of DRS data can be complicated by the presence of confounding factors such as the…

A portable surface plasmon resonance (<span>SPR</span>) sensor for the detection of immunoglobulin <span>A</span> in plasma Open
Background A life‐threatening anaphylactic shock can occur if a patient with undiagnosed immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency (i.e., IgA levels <500 ng/mL) receives IgA‐containing blood, hence the need for a rapid, point‐of‐care (POC) method …

Synthesis and antibacterial properties of unmodified polydopamine coatings to prevent infections Open
Health-care-associated infections (HAIs) can occur if a contaminated product bypasses current tests and prophylactic measures. These contaminations may be missed due to low bacterial loads or the presence of adhered biofilms. Antibacterial…

Monte-Carlo simulation and tissue-phantom model for validation of ocular oximetry Open
Ocular oximetry, in which blood oxygen saturation is evaluated in retinal tissues, is a promising technique for the prevention, diagnosis and management of many diseases and conditions. However, the development of new tools for evaluating …

Development of a flow standard to enable highly reproducible measurements of deformability of stored red blood cells in a microfluidic device Open
BACKGROUND Great deformability allows red blood cells (RBCs) to flow through narrow capillaries in tissues. A number of microfluidic devices with capillary‐like microchannels have been developed to monitor storage‐related impairment of RBC…
