Experimentally Engineering the Edge Termination of Graphene Nanoribbons

Oleg Yazyev, Xiaowei Zhang

The edges of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have attracted much interest due to their potentially strong influence on GNR electronic and magnetic properties. Here we report the ability to engineer the microscopic edge termination of high-quality GNRs via hydr ...

TubeSpin bioreactor 50 for the high-density cultivation of Sf-9 insect cells in suspension

Florian Maria Wurm, Lucia Baldi Unser, David Hacker, Xiaowei Zhang, Qiuling Xie

Here we present the TubeSpin bioreactor 50 (TubeSpins) as a simple and disposable culture system for Sf-9 insect cells in suspension. Sf-9 cells had substantially better growth in TubeSpins than in spinner flasks. After inoculation with 106 cells/ml, maxim ...

Hyperosmolarity enhances transient recombinant protein yield in Chinese hamster ovary cells

Florian Maria Wurm, Lucia Baldi Unser, David Hacker, Xiaowei Zhang, Isabel Fernandez Garcia

The effect of hyperosmolarity on transient recombinant protein production in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells was investigated. Addition of 90 mM NaCl to the production medium ProCHO5 increased the volumetric yield of recombinant antibody up to 4-fold rel ...
