    摘要: A biofuel cell device for generating electrical current. The device includes a fuel manifold having a face, and at least one cavity in the face defining a fuel reservoir, an inlet in fluid communication with the reservoir for flow of fuel fluid into the manifold to fill the reservoir and an outlet in fluid communication with the reservoir for flow of fuel fluid out of the manifold. The device has an anode assembly including at least one bioanode positioned for contact with fuel fluid in the fuel reservoir, and a cathode assembly including at least one cathode positioned for flow of fuel fluid through the bioanode to the cathode. The device includes a controller operatively connected to the anode assembly and the cathode assembly for controlling the output of electrical current from the biofuel cell device.

    摘要: This invention enables a sensitivity enhancement in the detection of molecular compounds. A mass spectrometry analyte support with nanotube anchors are used to concentrate MALDI samples prepared with water-insoluble matrix compounds on the anchor spot. A matrix solution mixed with analyte molecules is spotted onto a specialized MALDI plate using carbon nanotubes to selectively nucleate the analyte. The spot diameter of the target is usually several orders of magnitude larger than traditional supports, and led to lateral concentration for non-aqueous based matrices and produced a final dried matrix/analyte spot that was approximately the diameter of the laser spot at the point of investigation. The carbon nanotubes enhance nucleation on specific areas of a sample plate to concentrate analyte/matrix deposit during droplet evaporation, and demonstrate an increase in signal to noise ratio and an improved detection capability of low analyte concentrations compared to the standard MALDI preparation technique.
