Versatile platform for mobile detection of environmental pollutants using DNA Quantum Clusters

Kluitmann, Jonas; Drese, Klaus Stefan (2024)

Vortrag auf dem 12th Workshop of Chemical and Biological Micro Laboratory Technology CBM2024 in Ilmenau, März 2024.


 

Environmental pollution is an ever-growing concern. Industrial sites as well as agricultural use areas can bear immense harmful burdens. Unintentionally improperly disposed of wastes as well as illegally dumped chemicals pose additional risks in the environment, while remains of pharmaceuticals are a regular concern in sources of drinking water. Pollutants such as PFAS and microplastics could even be detected in the most remote regions of the earth and are known for adverse effects on humans and their environment. Establishing a comprehensive overview of where pollution of which severity and with what substances occurs is thus important, so remediations can be planned and prioritized. This necessitates fast, versatile, reliable and cheap measurements, ideally directly at sampling sites.

A promising class of transducers for detecting a multitude of pollutants are DNA Quantum Clusters. QC:DNA are highly sensitive and selective transducers for many substances, showing responses in their fluorescent behaviors based on their chemical environment. Based on the specific design, QC:DNA can interact with different chemical species and exhibit tuned excitation and emission wavelengths.

For the use of such transducers, we present a fluorescence reader integrated around capillaries. The system is designed for easy and fast customization for a large range of excitation and emission wavelengths while focusing on system portability and striving for affordability. The microfluidic system controlling and performing the assay is based on droplet sequences to facilitate fast mixing while allowing for incubation times with minimal dispersion and enabling a temporary storage and a precise processing of samples.

Ultrasonic Interferometric Procedure for Quantifying Prosthesis Loosening

Lützelberger, Jan (2024)

Prize Talk at 87th Annual Meeting of the DPG - Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft, Berlin 2024.


 

Loosening of an artificial hip joint is a frequent complication in orthopedics and trauma surgery. Due to a lack of accuracy, conventional diagnostic methods such as projection radiography cannot reliably diagnose loosening in its early stages or detect whether it is associated with the formation of a biofilm in the bone-implant interface.

In this work, we developed an ultrasonic measurement procedure for quantifying the thickness of the layer between bone and prosthesis as a correlate to loosening. In principle, it also allows for the material characterization of the interface. An analytical model for the reflection of sound waves in a three-layer system was combined with a new data processing method to face the challenges of the specific medical application. By non-linear fitting the theoretical prediction of the model to the actual shape of the reflected sound waves in frequency domain, the thickness of the interlayer can be determined and predictions about its physical properties are possible. The presented approach was successfully applied to idealized test systems and a bone-implant system for thickness determination in the range of approx. 200 µm to 2 mm [1].

The talk will focus on the physical background and the key concepts of the procedure as well as on representative experiments, but also highlight its future potential in medical application.

Frequency-Resolved High-Frequency Broadband Measurement of Acoustic Longitudinal Waves by Laser-Based Excitation and Detection

Brand, Felix; Drese, Klaus Stefan (2024)

Optoacoustics is a metrology widely used for material characterisation. In this study, a measurement setup for the selective determination of the frequency-resolved phase velocities and attenuations of longitudinal waves over a wide frequency range (3-55 MHz) is presented. The ultrasonic waves in this setup were excited by a pulsed laser within an absorption layer in the thermoelastic regime and directed through a layer of water onto a sample. The acoustic waves were detected using a self-built adaptive interferometer with a photorefractive crystal. The instrument transmits compression waves only, is low-contact, non-destructive, and has a sample-independent excitation. The limitations of the approach were studied both by simulation and experiments to determine how the frequency range and precision can be improved. It was shown that measurements are possible for all investigated materials (silicon, silicone, aluminium, and water) and that the relative error for the phase velocity is less than 0.2%.
