After a long haul, our paper describing three-phase experiments with a new hydrophobic Ru-complex redox-probe was finally published in Electrochimica Acta. This work is a collaboration between our group and Prof. Masa-Aki Haga’s at Chuo University in Tokyo. About two years ago Haga visited our institute and gave a talk, […]

We’re very happy to welcome our new postdoc, Ewelina Kuna, to the group. Ewelina did her PhD at the University of Bologna and then spent some time as a postdoc at the Catholic University in Leuven, Belgium. Her work has been focused on photo-catalysis, and this is a topic that […]
We just published a review-article in ChemElectroChem on paper-based electrochemical devices. Instead of a classic review of the published literature (of which there are plenty for paper-based devices) we opted to write a more practical guide for what to consider when making your first forays into the jungle of paper-based […]
And the next paper in the silver nanostructure series with our neighbours in the Surface Nanoengineering group and the Maćkowski group in Toruń. This time its a review of how Silver Island Films (SIFs) affect the properties of light-sensitive proteins. Here, experiments were done with proteins such as peridinin-chlorophyll-protein (PCP) or the Fenna–Matthews–Olson (FMO) complex, […]
In a consortium together with the company redox.me, the Norwegian research institute SINTEF, and Robert Bogdanowicz’s group at Gdańsk University of Technology we submitted a project to the POLNOR call, financed by the EEA and Norway Grants through The National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR). The project, which is […]
Another paper came out of the collaboration between our neighbours in the Surface Nanoengineering group and the Maćkowski group in Toruń. This a paper is in a long series on plasmonic silver nanostructures that they have published. This time the nanostructures are created by printing. More specifically, a droplet containing […]
Martin had a part in a new paper that was just published in Electrochimica Acta. The paper is mainly the work of our previous group member Marcin Filipiak performed in the company BioMedX in Heidelberg, but it builds on some of the work Marcin performed in our group before he […]
Our institute prepared a press note about our latest paper on detection of neurotransmitters in mouse serum. The pressnote itself can be found here (pdf). Quoting from it we can read “We are aiming to detect neurotransmitters at the lowest concentrations and without additional sample preparation,” says the author of […]
Continuing our investigations of the behaviour of various redox probes at three-phase electrodes we have just published a paper looking at TCNQ (7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane) in a standard droplet-based setup. The reason we choose TCNQ is that it’s a quinone related to the ones we studied in our previous publication on transfer […]
From the beginning of October we have a second new student, Andrzej Krześniak, who will be working in Martin’s Opus grant in collaboration with Warsaw University of Technology. He will be the main responsible for the electrochemical part of the project. Andrzej graduated with a Master’s degree from the Department […]
