  • An amperometric enzyme electrode for the detection of L-lactate 
    Selkirk, Jane Yvonne (Cranfield University, 1997-06)
    The main tasks of this thesis were to evaluate a number of amperometric enzyme electrode chemistries for the selective and sensitive detection of L-lactate, and apply mass fabrication technologies to reproducibly manufacture ...
  • Aptamers for biosensors 
    Bini, Alessandra (Cranfield University and University of Firenze., 2008)
    Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules isolated in vitro by a selection and amplification method. Aptamers bind with high specificity and affinity to a wide range of target molecules, with dissociation constant ...
  • Biomimetic sensors for HbA1c 
    Biela, Anna (Cranfield University, 2010-07)
    Diabetes mellitus is a growing health problem worldwide. Suitable long-term control and management of this disease are enabled by determination of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in blood. The results are given as %HbA1c ...
  • Biosensor and bioelectrocatalysis studies of enzymes immobilized on graphite electrode materials 
    Schneider, B. H. (1987-05)
    The immobilization of glucose oxidase and lipoamide dehydrogenase on graphite electrodes was studied for their application in mediated bioelectrochemical systems. These are techniques where the electrons involved in an ...
  • Design of molecularly imprinted polymers for sensors and solid phase extraction 
    Subrahmanyam, Sreenath (Cranfield University, 2002-04)
    This thesis presents broadly the applications of molecularly imprinted polymers in sensors and solid phase extraction. Sensors for creatine and creatinine have been reported using a novel method of rational design of ...
  • Development of a rapid immunoassay for human pathogenic markers 
    Lawton, Nicola Jane (Cranfield UniversityCranfield Health, 2006-09)
    A demand exists for a fast, sensitive, reliable and economical test for pyogenic sepsis that provides a “real time” bed-side assessment. Detection of significant intra-abdominal sepsis can be particularly problematic in ...
  • Fluorescence-based optical biosensors for clinical and environmental applications 
    Psoma, Sotiria D. (Cranfield University, 1996-12)
    The aim of this thesis was to investigate the feasibility of simultaneous utilisation of pH and oxygen-dependent fluorescent indicators for the development of a novel fibre-optical fluorescence-based bio sensor. This ...
  • A glucose sensor for fermentation monitoring 
    Brooks, Steven (Cranfield University, 1987-10)
    The evaluation, analysis and development of an oxygen-insensitive amperometric glucose biosensor and its application in microbial batch culture are described. The biosensor consisted of a graphite foil electrode modified ...
  • The hydraulic lung 
    Prime, David (2004-10)
    A Hydraulic Lung has been designed and constructed. The Hydraulic Lung can inhale through a Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) with a pre-determined level of inspiratory effort, and the characteristics of the inhalation profile ...
  • Improvements in electrochemical glucose biosensors 
    Fragkou, Vasiliki (Cranfield University, 2010-09)
    Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the world. Even though insulin was discovered in 1920, an intense research on diabetes has been conducted during the last five decades and this is because ...
  • Methanol dehydrogenase biofuel cells and enzyme-based electrodes 
    Aston, W. J. (Cranfield UniversitySchool of Applied Sciences, 1984-12)
    This thesis describes the linking of enzymes to electrodes and their application in biofuel cells and as analytical devices. Methanol dehydrogenase, an NAD independent enzyme was purified by two phase aqueous partition. ...
  • New micro-and nano-technologies for biosensor development 
    Berti, Francesca (Cranfield University, 2009)
    Recent advances in micro- and nanotechnology have produced a number of new materials which exhibit exceptional potential for the design of novel sensing strategies and to enhance the analytical performance of biosensing ...
  • A novel optical chip for affinity biosensors based on fluorescence anisotropy 
    Carloni, Adolfo (Cranfield University, 2008-07)
    The subject of this thesis relates to the realisation of a novel biochip for sensors based on optical principles. In particular, affinity biosensors for antigens (IgG/anti-IgG), for a transcription factor, and for mRNA ...
