Development and validation of antibody and MIP-laden porous substructures for multi-mycotoxin analysis Ghent University
Mycotoxins are contaminants produced by various fungal species and can be present in diverse food and feed matrices. These secondary metabolites can induce several toxic effects in both humans and animals upon contamination, although they are often present in low ppbppt concentrations. The mycotoxin issue is a worldwide concern which resulted already in several national and European guidelines, directives and regulations regarding maximum ...

Advanced optical trapping electrophoresis of single colloidal particles Ghent University
A colloid or a colloidal suspension is a mixture in which microscopic or nanoscopic particles are dispresed throughout a liquid medium. Milk is a colloidal suspension of fat droplets in water and printer ink is a colloidal suspension ofsolid ink particles in oil. An important characteristic of colloidal
suspensions is its stability. The stability of colloidal suspensions is hindered by aggregation and sedimentation. This occurs when ...
