Application

Si-substituted hydroxyapatite (Si-HAp) nanopowder can be incorporated in biodegradable polymer composites or deposited on biocompatible surfaces similar to pure HAp nanopowder (cat. no. 677418). Biological activity of HAp was shown to be enhanced by substitution of silicon ions into a fraction of HAp lattice phosphate sites.

Piperonal-catabolizing microorganisms were isolated from soil, the one (strain CT39-3) exhibiting the highest activity being identified as Burkholderia sp. The piperonal-converting enzyme involved in the initial step of piperonal metabolism was purified from strain CT39-3. Gene cloning of the enzyme

Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications

Dendrimers are just one class of nano-sized materials that are explored to develop new life-saving technologies. Single-wall carbon nanotubes are used to make miniaturized sensors for DNA, pathogens, and chemicals – for example glucose sensors. Multi-wall nanotubes, nanoclays, and ceramic nanoparticles are incorporated in ultra-strong polymer nanocomposites that will be used in orthopedic, for example joint-replacement, applications.

Strategy for Toxicity Screening of Nanomaterials

A key challenge for nanomaterial safety assessment is the ability to handle the large number of newly engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), including developing cost-effective methods that can be used for hazard screening.

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