In-situ microscopy and 2D fluorescence spectroscopy as online methods for monitoring CHO cells during cultivation
Introduction Typical methods for monitoring cultivation processes are offline analyses like cell counting, measurement of various substrates and products (e. g. glucose or lactate) as well as the online monitoring of several physical process parameters (temperature, pH-value or the concentration of dissolved oxygen). To improve cell cultivations detailed information about important analytes sho...
متن کاملMonitoring hydroquinone-quinone redox cycling by single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy.
Current research in the field of single-molecule chemistry is increasingly focused on the development of reliable experimental approaches for investigating chemical processes on a molecular level using single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy (SMFS). Herein, we report on single-molecule observations of the copper(II)/air mediated oxidation of fluorescently labeled hydroquinone-based probe mole...
متن کاملUltrasensitive investigations of biological systems by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.
Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) extracts information about molecular dynamics from the tiny fluctuations that can be observed in the emission of small ensembles of fluorescent molecules in thermodynamic equilibrium. Employing a confocal setup in conjunction with highly dilute samples, the average number of fluorescent particles simultaneously within the measurement volume (approxima...
متن کاملBiological Monitoring for Depleted Uranium Exposure in U.S. Veterans
BACKGROUND As part of an ongoing medical surveillance program for U.S. veterans exposed to depleted uranium (DU), biological monitoring of urine uranium (U) concentrations is offered to any veteran of the Gulf War and those serving in more recent conflicts (post-Gulf War veterans). OBJECTIVES Since a previous report of surveillance findings in 2004, an improved methodology for determination o...
متن کاملPretubulysin derived probes as novel tools for monitoring the microtubule network via activity-based protein profiling and fluorescence microscopy.
Microtubules (mt) are highly dynamic polymers composed of alpha- and beta-tubulin monomers that are present in all dividing and non-dividing cells. A broad variety of natural products exists that are known to interfere with the microtubule network, by either stabilizing or de-stabilizing these rope-like polymers. Among those tubulysins represent a new and potent class of cytostatic tetrapeptide...
