Optical imaging and measuring methods to assess porcine kidney microcirculation during normothermic machine perfusion: A comparative proof-of-concept study

<b>OBJECTIVE </b>This study aims to compare non-invasive real-time optical imaging and measuring methods for the quantification of microcirculation of organs during normothermic machine perfusion (NMP). This could help to determine which method is most promising for further development towards a clinical objective transplantability assessment...

Integrating LIBS and NIR for detection of heavy metals in perlite ores

Perlite products are used as a filter aid in the food industry. For such applications, the purity of the material is one of the most significant parameters of control. Early detection of heavy metals is therefore of great industrial interest. In this study, a sensor-based approach for chemical and mineralogical characterization enabled the...
