Just released! Aptasensor for Aflatoxin Detection
Congratulations Dr. Pasara, good job indeed!. Our work on "A point-of-use lateral flow aptasensor for naked-eye detection of aflatoxin B1" has finally been published in Food Control (Food Control, 2022, 134, 108767, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodcont.2021.108767 ).
Outside Back Cover of Nanoscale
Congratulations again! Our work on Zwitterionic peptide-capped gold nanoparticles for colorimetric detection of Ni<sup>2+</sup> (Nanoscale, 2018, 10, 5466 - 5473, DOI: 10.1039/C7NR07998B ) has been chosen to appear on the outside back cover of Nanoscale. Well done!
Peptide-Capped AuNPs in Nanoscale
Congratulation! to Dr. Attasith and Dr. Sukunya for contributing such a great work to the field of biosensors. In this work, they utilized peptide-capped AuNPs to selectively detect Ni2+. With the unique property of engineered peptide, AuNPs can sense Ni2+ in nanomolar range. For more information, please visit DOI: 10.1039/C7NR07998B
Chemical Lift-Off Artwork on the Cover
Chemical lift-off artwork is up on the cover of Accounts of Chemical Research (August 16, 2016Volume 49, Issue 8). The cover artwork was designed in 2012 by Dr. Sarawut Cheunkar (Ph.D. candidate at the time) and Kei Meguro, with creative input from Nako Nakatsuka (Ph.D. student). Chemical lift-off is a benchtop lithography technique developed by a group of scientists in Prof. Weiss laboratory at CNSI, UCLA. In short, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) is selectively removed by PDMS (poly(dimethyl)siloxane) containing patterns in it. The remaining SAMs disclose the subtractive features on a substrate. The original work was later published in science (DOI:10.1126/science.1221774).
