A1 - Bier, Frank Fabian T1 - Detection of progesterone in whole blood samples N2 - The progesterone concentration in blood samples can be utilised as a marker for the diagnosis of early pregnancy, endocrinopathy and virilism. Here, we describe a method for progesterone detection and measurement in whole blood samples by a surface sensitive biosensor used in conjunction with an integrated optical grating coupler. This device determines refractive index changes near the biosensor's surface. Hence, biological species bound to a surface layer can be measured in real-time without any label. For the measurements, we have modified the indirect competitive immonoassay principle. The concentration of the progesterone antibody was kept at 1 µg/ml. Progesterone concentration was determined in buffer solution and whole blood in a range between 0.005 and 10 ng/ml. The detection limit was determined to be 3 pM. The relative standard deviation was calculated to be 3.5%. Y1 - 2003 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Scheller, Frieder W.

The functionality of the construct was shown by in vitro translation. The gene-construct was immobilised on a planar glass surface. The transcription was performed on the immobilised gene and mRNA was determined by RT-PCR. Multiple use of the immobilised gene was demonstrated Y1 - 2005 SN - 1473-0189 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Heise, Christian A1 - Bier, Frank Fabian T1 - Immobilization of DNA on microarrays N2 - Microarrays are new analytical devices that allow the parallel and simultaneous detection of thousands of target compounds. Microarrays, also called DNA chips, are widely used in gene expression, the genotyping of individuals, point mutations, detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms, and short tandem repeats. Microarrays have highly specific base-pair interactions with labeled complementary strands, which makes this technology to a powerful analytical device for monitoring whole genomes. In this article, we provide a survey of the common microarray manufacturing methods, from the selection of support material to surface structuring, immobilization and hybridization, and finally the detection with labeled complementary strands. Special attention is given to the immobilization of single strands, since fast chemical reactions, the creation of homogeneous surface functionalities as well as an oriented coupling are crucial pre-conditions for a good spot morphology and microarrays of high quality Y1 - 2005 ER -
