Measuring CRP levels in blood usually requires sending a blood sample to the lab for an ELISA test. This takes time… the results typically come only the next day. It would be so much more convenient if you could get the result directly in your doctor’s office. In our latest […]

In a publication recently accepted in Lab on a Chip, we showed a way of creating microelectrodes and arrays of electrodes in ITO using a cheap CO2 laser plotter. Such laser plotters are available in printing shops and similar places or can be bought at relatively low cost to the […]
Recently another paper was published in collaboration with our UpTurn partners from Gdańsk University of Technology. Meen was investigating novel carbon materials from the Bogdanowicz group to be used for detection of serotonin. We have previously tested several different types of carbon materials for neurotransmitter detection,,, and these particles from […]
Together with our partners in the UPTURN project we wrote a short review article about the use of combining electrochemical and optical methods in microfluidic systems. The goal of UPTURN is to create a suitable microfluidic platform for multiparametric measurements. This was a good opportunity to summarise what is available […]
We are very happy to see that our colleague Veronika got a grant from NCBR to continue her studies of manganese dioxide as a catalyst for hydrogen peroxidase detection. The project is an extension of the the UpTurn project under the Support for Ukrainian researchers under Bilateral Fund of ‘Applied […]
Maybe a little late news, but since the beginning of the academic year we have three new PhD students: Iga, Julia, and Wojtek. Iga Malicka is a graduate from Warsaw University and is currently working in the UpTurn-project and will be doing electrochemistry in microfluidic systems. Julia Maciejewska-Komorowska is a […]
This week we have a new postdoc in the group, Dr Suchanat Boonkaew, who also goes by her nickname Meen. She will be working in the UPTurn project concerning electrochemistry in microfluidic systems. Dr Boonkaew got her PhD from Chulalongkorn University in Thailand, where she was working on miniaturized analytical […]
In a consortium together with the company redox.me, the Norwegian research institute SINTEF, and Robert Bogdanowicz’s group at Gdańsk University of Technology we submitted a project to the POLNOR call, financed by the EEA and Norway Grants through The National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR). The project, which is […]
