Establishment of optimise strategies in production of recombinant Hepatitis B surface antigen for chip-based antibody detection approach by Tam, Yew Joon

“…The main results drawn showed that the IEC Q Sepharose XL column and optimum conditions of 4 mL sample loading volume, an elution buffer with 1.5 M NaCl concentration at pH 8 with an elution gradient length of 20 column volume and subsequent purification with SEC at a sample volume of 5 mL and a flow rate of 1 mL/min was able to efficiently purify HBsAg. An up-scaled version the established purification strategy comprising of the two techniques further demonstrated adaptability for scale-up operations with a final total PF of 94.82 ± 16.20, HBsAg purity of 95.48% and recovery yield of 78.07%. …”

Ultramafic Alteration and the Cooling of Earth and Mars by Murray, Joshua

“…Due to their instability, they play an out-sized role in Earth's long-term carbon cycle. My first chapter investigates a hitherto unappreciated mechanism by which ultramafic rocks serve as a carbon sink, through the formation of high-surface-area clays and the resultant burial of organic carbon. …”
