This article reports on a bioanalytical sensor device that hosts three different transducer principles: impedance spectroscopy, quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, and the thermal-current-based heat-transfer method. These principles utilize a...

Peri-implantitis is a growing pathological concern for dental implants which aggravates the occurrence of revision surgeries. This increases the burden on both hospitals and the patients themselves. Research is now...

This review provides an overview on bio- and chemosensors based on a thermal transducer platform that monitors the thermal interface resistance between a solid chip and the supernatant liquid. The...

Despite the importance of cell characterization and identification for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, developing fast and label-free methods without (bio)-chemical markers or surface-engineered receptors remains challenging. Here, we exploit the...

Understanding microbial adhesion and retention is crucial for controlling many processes, including biofilm formation, antimicrobial therapy as well as cell sorting and cell detection platforms. Cell detachment is inextricably linked...

Cell-material interactions are crucial for many biomedical applications, including medical implants, tissue engineering, and biosensors. For implants, while the adhesion of eukaryotic host cells is desirable, bacterial adhesion often leads...

We report on a novel biomimetic sensor that allows sensitive and specific detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria in a broad concentration range from 10 up to 10 CFU/mL...
