Nano Crystals for mega Fluorescence Amplification

SuperNova in the test tube - von Prof Dr Reinhard Renneberg, Jan Engels, Dr Hans-Georg Eisenwiener

We tell the exciting story of how mega fluorescence amplification was invented.
First, there was the question: How can previous biochemical evidence reactions be amplified million-fold to detect the biochemical “needles in a haystack” (substances at very low concentrations) in a multicomponent system like a blood sample?

The earliest plasma marker for myocardial infarction

Fabulous FABP - von Prof Dr Reinhard Renneberg, Prof. Dr Jan F.C. Glatz

The application of Fatty Acid-Binding Protein (FABP) as a plasma marker for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction was first suggested in 1988. Currently, FABP is proven to have added value for the diagnosis of patients presenting with chest pain suggestive of myocardial infarction, especially in the early hours after onset of symptoms. The routine application of FABP for this purpose not only will improve patient outcome but also markedly...
