Application

Terbium(III) chloride hexahydrate can be used to study the effect of Tb(III) ions on the micellization properties of surfactants.

It can also be used as aprecursor to synthesize a label-freeaptasensor for the detection of ofloxacin (OFL) residues in the food.

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline structures, currently used as sensors, separation membranes, and as catalysts. Due to their physicochemical and optical properties, they have been recently proposed for fingermark detection. This study further explored their potential for fingermark detection.

myo-Inositol monophosphatase catalyzes dephosphorylation of the synthetic substrate anthraniloyl-2'-AMP. Binding of this fluorescent substrate to Tb(III)-monophosphatase was monitored by luminescence spectroscopy. The anthraniloyl chromophore excited at 330 nm sensitizes the long lived luminescence of enzyme bound Tb(III) at 490, 545

The rare earth elements impact nearly everyone in the world. All of the people living in advanced technological countries and almost all those living in third world countries utilize the rare earths in their everyday living—the car that one drives (gasoline is refined from oil using rare earth catalysts and catalytic converters reduce the polluting emissions from the automotive exhaust), watching the news on TV (the red and green colors in TV screens), the telephones and computers we use to communicate (the permanent magnets in speakers and disc drives), just to name a few examples.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
