In vitro high-throughput non-depletive quantitation of chemicals in biofluids is of growing interest in many areas. Some of the challenges facing researchers include the limited volume of biofluids, rapid and high-throughput sampling requirements, and the lack of reliable methods. Coupled to the above, growing interest in the monitoring of kinetics and dynamics of miniaturized biosystems has spurred the demand for development of novel and revolutionary methodologies for analysis of biofluids. The applicability of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is investigated as a potential technology to fulfill the aforementioned requirements. As analytes with sufficient diversity in their physicochemical features, nicotine, N, N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide, and diclofenac were selected as test compounds for the study. The objective was to develop methodologies that would allow repeated non-depletive sampling from 96-well plates, using 100 mu L of sample. Initially, thin film-SPME was investigated. Results revealed substantial depletion and consequent disruption in the system. Therefore, new ultra-thin coated fibers were developed. The applicability of this device to the described sampling scenario was tested by determining the protein binding of the analytes. Results showed good agreement with rapid equilibrium dialysis. The presented method allows high-throughput analysis using small volumes, enabling fast reliable free and total concentration determinations without disruption of system equilibrium.

Examination of interfacial properties of quince seed extract on a sunflower oil-water interface Kirtil, Emrah; Kurtkaya, Enis; Svitova, Tatyana; Radke, Clayton J.; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Şahin, Serpil (2021-12-14) Seeds of the plant quince are a natural hydrocolloid source whose extract has shown promising results in stabilizing emulsions. The study aims to discover how quince seed extract's interfacial properties (dynamic surface tension and dilatational surface rheology) on an oil–water interface change with varying concentrations (between 0.01% and 1%), pH's (3, 7, and 11), and ionic strengths (0.1, 0.3, 0.5 M NaCl). The lowest concentration that yielded a statistically significant drop in interfacial was found as...
Dynamic analysis of secretome alterations in a bacilysin-knock out mutant of bacillus subtilis Tekin İşlerel, Elif; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biology (2017) The members of the genus Bacillus produce a wide variety of secondary metabolites with antimetabolic and pharmacological activities. Bacilysin, being produced and excreted by certain strains of B. subtilis, is a dipeptide antibiotic composed of L-alanine and L-anticapsin which is synthesized enzymatically. As shown earlier by our research group, the expression of bacilysin biosynthetic operon (bacA) is relatively constant during the exponential growth, but increases during the transition between exponential...
Improved in vitro micropropagation method with adventitious corms and roots for endangered saffron Zeybek, Evrim; Önde, Sertaç; Kaya, Zeki (2012-02-01) The objective of this study was to investigate development of an efficient in vitro tissue culture system for saffron (Crocus sativus L.) complete with roots and corms. In indirect organogenesis, Murashige and Skoog (MS) media with 3% (w/v) sucrose, 100 mg L(-1) ascorbic acid, and the combination of 0.25 mg L(-1) 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 1 mg L(-1) 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) were best for callus initiation and growth while 1.5 mg L(-1) BAP was excellent for high rate of adventitious shoot f...
Modulation of Matrix Softness and Interstitial Flow for 3D Cell Culture Using a Cell-Microenvironment-on-a-Chip System Clay, Nicholas Edwin; Shin, Kyeonggon; Özçelikkale, Altuğ; Lee, Min Kyung; Rich, Max H.; Kim, Dong Hyun; Han, Bumsoo; Kong, Hyunjoon (2016-11-01) In the past several decades, significant efforts have been devoted to recapitulating the in vivo tissue microenvironment within an in vitro platform. However, it is still challenging to recreate de novo tissue with physiologically relevant matrix properties and fluid flow. To this end, this study demonstrates a method to independently tailor matrix stiffness and interstitial fluid flow using a cell-microenvironment-on-a-chip (CMOC) platform. Collagen-polyethylene glycol gels tailored to present controlled s...
Optimization of hypericin extraction from hypericum perforatum L. tissues and evaluation of its applicability in dye-sensitized solar cells / Aktuna, Özge; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Eyidoğan, Füsun İnci; Department of Biotechnology (2014) Medicinal plants which have been widely used in folk medicine are known to contain important biologically active compounds. Hypericum perforatum is one of the medicinal plants that grows in Europe, Western Asia and Northern Africa and is distinguished by its golden yellow flowers. The common name of the plant is St. John’s wort. As a practical folk-remedy, it has been used widely to heal wounds, remedy kidney troubles, and alleviate nervous disorders. Nowadays, many application areas of hypericin are discov...
