Microfluidic vs. batch synthesis of fluorescent micro/nanoparticles
Fluorescent particles play a crucial role in nanomedicine and biological applications such as imaging, diagnostic tools, drug delivery, biosensing, multimodal imaging, and theranostics. This report presents a novel synthesis method and comparative study for synthesizing fluorescent particles in microfluidic continuous and batch-type reactors. Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and ethylene glycol dimethyl acrylate (EGDMA) are well-known monomers […]

Aptamer decorated PDA@magnetic silica microparticles for bacteria purification
One significant constraint in the advancement of biosensors is the signal-to-noise ratio, which is adversely affected by the presence of interfering factors such as blood in the sample matrix. In the present investigation, a specific aptamer binding was chosen for its affinity, while exhibiting no binding affinity towards non-target bacterial cells. This selective binding […]
Gratitude and Inspiration
The elegant acknowledgment from our esteemed Rector, Mehmet Tümay, during our university’s academic awards ceremony for the TÜBİTAK 1001 project I am leading, has greatly inspired us for the forthcoming intensive work period. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my project collaborators, Dr. Mustafa Akyol, Dr. Barbaros Çetin, and Dr. Veli Cengiz […]
Biosensor for ATP detection via aptamer-modified PDA@ POSS nanoparticles synthesized in a microfluidic reactor
This study introduces aptamer-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanoparticles for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) detection where the POSS nanoparticles were synthesized in a one-step, continuous flow microfluidic reactor utilizing thermal polymerization. A microemulsion containing POSS monomers was generated in the microfluidic reactor which was designed to prevent clogging by using a continuous oil flow […]
