ISOTHERMAL MICROCALORIMETRY FOR THERMAL VIABLE COUNT OF MICROORGANISMS IN PURE CULTURES AND STABILIZED FORMULATIONS

Isothermal microcalorimetry for thermal viable count of microorganisms in pure cultures and stabilized formulations

Abstract Background Quantification of viable microorganisms is an important step in microbiological research as well as in microbial product formulation to develop biological control products or probiotics.Often, the efficiency of the resulting product is dependent on the microbial cell density and their viability, which may decrease over time.Comm

Experimental and numerical investigation of biosensors plasmonic substrates induced differences by e-beam, soft and hard UV-NIL fabrication techniques

This paper compares plasmonic substrates manufactured by three lithography methods: E-beam, soft and hard UV NanoImprint Lithography.The different plasmonic modes existing in samples made of an array of gold nanostructures on gold film are investigated for biochemical detections hancheng fashion taking advantage of Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging
