  • Custom synthesis of molecular imprinted polymers for biotechnological application: preparation of a polymer selective for tylosin 
    Piletsky, Sergey A.; Piletska, Elena V.; Karim, K.; Foster, G.; Legge, C.; Turner, Anthony P. F. (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2004-02-16)
    A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) selective for tylosin was designed and synthesised using a computational method (MIP “dialling”). In re-binding experiments the MIP demonstrated high affinity for tylosin in aqueous ...
  • Design review of the Pounder Rig, following field trials of the prototype 
    Ball, Peter D. (1999-11-01)
    Field trials of the prototype Pounder Rig were undertaken in Mpigi District, Uganda in the second half of 1999. The first phase of these trials gave rise to an initial evaluation of the equipment, which is included here ...
  • Detection of TP53 mutation using a portable Surface Plasmon Resonance DNA-based biosensor 
    Jiang, Tieshan; Minunni, Maria E.; Wilson, P. K.; Zhang, Jian; Turner, Anthony P. F.; Mascini, Marco (Elsevier, 2005-02-02)
    A DNA-based Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) biosensor has been developed for the detection of TP53 mutation using the inexpensive and commercially available instrument, SPREETATM SPR-EVM-BT, from Texas Instruments. A direct ...
