Anti-IgG secondary antibodies are major tools for the detection or immobilization of primary antibodies in approaches such as western blotting, ELISA, Co-IP and immunofluorescence. Polyclonal anti-IgG secondary antibodies are produced in animals, such as mouse, rabbit, rat, and goat and are directed against the IgG classes of these animals. Thus, the generation of such secondary antibodies requires the keeping and use of a large number of animals, which is not only costly but also a major ethical ...

We offer novel phosphenium ligands and corresponding metal complexes (both air stable) that are claimed as substances by granted EP and US patents. The ligands can be prepared in multigram scale by simple direct condensation. The corresponding gold complexes are suitable as homogeneous catalysts in organic synthesis (such as cycloisomerization) that can be easily precipitated and recycled due to their salt properties.

Super-resolution microscopy critically relies on the availability of appropriate fluorophores. For single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), fluorophores are needed that stochastically switch between bright (on) and dark (off) states. This phenomenon is also called fluorescence blinking. For stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED) the dyes must be photo-switchable.

Novel gas exchange membranes based on superamphiphobic coatings applied on metal meshes were created and tested in different applications, like gas scrubbing and blood oxygenation.
By using the novel membrans drawbacks of traditional membranes - like insufficient wetting, plugging and depositions chemical incompatibility and temperature instability - can be avoided.
