Formation of self-assembled monolayers by chemisorption of derivatives of oligo(ethylene glycol) of structure HS(CH2)11(OCH2CH2)mOH on gold

Catherine Pale-Grosdemange, +3 more
- 01 Jan 1991 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the preparation of oligo(ethylene glycol)-terminated alkanethiols having structure HS- (CHz)'l(OCH2CHz),nOH (m = 3-7) and their use in the formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-Assembly of Mesoscale Objects into Ordered Two-Dimensional Arrays

Ned B. Bowden, +3 more
- 11 Apr 1997 - 
TL;DR: Calculations suggest that this strategy for self-assembly can be applied to objects on a micrometer scale.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paper-Based ELISA

Chao-Min Cheng, +8 more
- 28 Jun 2010 - 
TL;DR: It is established that P-ELISA can be used to detect and quantify antibodies to the HIV-1 envelope antigen gp41 in human serum using an anti-human IgG antibody conjugated to alkaline phosphatase (ALP) to produce a colorimetric readout.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective reduction of disulfides by tris(2-carboxyethyl) phosphine

Joseph A. Burns, +3 more
- 01 Apr 1991 - 
TL;DR: Tris(2-carboxyethyl) phosphine (TCEP) is a reagent for disulfide reduction in water at pH 4.5 that preferentially reduces more strained disulfides, in accordance with the usual mechanism postulated for reduction by phosphines in water.
Journal ArticleDOI

FLASH: A rapid method for prototyping paper-based microfluidic devices

Andres W. Martinez, +4 more
- 01 Dec 2008 - 
TL;DR: FLASH (Fast Lithographic Activation of Sheets), a rapid method for laboratory prototyping of microfluidic devices in paper, is described, which is based on photolithography, but requires only a UV lamp and a hotplate.
