Fall 2014
The detection and identification of biomarkers and metabolites in the low mass range has become prominent in clinical diagnoses, disease monitoring and for tracking drug interactions. Laser desorption/ionization techniques have been applied as a powerful tool in this field because of their speed...

Protein Separation with Self-Assembled Nanoparticle Beds: Mechanism and Separation Performance
DownloadSpring 2016
This thesis reports the separation behavior of SDS-protein complexes in colloidal self-assembled (CSA) nanoparticle beds, and the processes of stabilization of CSA beds for high voltage separation. First, the variation of electrophoretic mobility with molecular weight (6.5-66 kDa) of SDS-protein...
