Point-of-care biosensing is changing how diseases can be detected and monitored. By bringing highly sensitive biosensing devices closer to the patient, these technologies have the potential to deliver faster results, simplify workflows, and expand access to advanced diagnostics outside traditional laboratories. A recent publication from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), developed within the Molecular Biosensing Group [...]

Recent advances in single-molecule biosensing are reshaping how scientists approach the detection and analysis of biomolecules. In a newly released Nature Communications article, Vu, Janssen, de Jong and Prins present a powerful method to monitor low concentration biomarkers in real-time [...]

In laboratories, automated liquid handling has become a key part of how experiments are designed and executed. As workflows grow more complex, especially in life sciences, researchers need to process more samples, manage smaller volumes of liquid, and maintain high levels of precision and reproducibility. This shift is pushing [...]

Non-thermal plasma is gaining strong interest in chemical research because it allows chemical reactions to take place under mild conditions. Unlike thermal plasma, where the whole system is heated to very high temperatures, non-thermal plasma operates close to ambient temperature and pressure. The energy is mainly carried by electrons, not by heat. This specific energy distribution leads to the formation of highly [...]

Automated air sensitivity profiling is a quantitative approach to assess how chemical compounds degrade when exposed to air over time, using controlled and repeatable workflows rather than manual observation. This helps researchers better understand the [...]

The study explores what automated DNA-PAINT means in practice. DNA-PAINT is a fluorescence imaging technique that reaches very high localization precision by using transient binding between complementary DNA strands. These short binding events generate [...]
