Dissertation
Magnetic purification of antibodies
TL;DR: The selectivity of magnetic nanoparticle for antibody, IgG, was found effective with boronic acid and ligand 22/8, and this alternative strategy reduced the time of operation, maximum separation capability (yield and purity), while reducing the amount of salt required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of conductive bacterial cellulose foams using acoustic cavitation
TL;DR: Mechanical disruption is shown to be a facile strategy to develop BC-PEDOT:PSS conductive foams without the use of any harsh chemical treatments to functionalize cellulose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extraction and Characterization of Listeria monocytogenes Exopolysaccharide
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extract exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Listeria monocytogenes and investigate the maximum production by using different culture media and various factors.
