Journal Article
Luxton, R., Wraith, P., Nibouche, M., Kiely, J., Abdul Djawad, Y., Djawad, Y. A., …Luxton, R. W. (2012). Robust feature extraction from impedimetric signals using wavelet packet decomposition with application to cytotoxicity testing. IET Science Measurement and Technology, 6(6), 456-463. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-smt.2012.0009

Impedance-based cytotoxicity testing provides a simple, real-time and non-invasive assay technique that interferes minimally with cell morphology and function. In this study, impedimetric measurements of ECV304 cells with increasing concentrations of...

Comparison of cytotoxic changes in ECV304 cell through exposure to DMSO and sodium butyrate using impedance spectroscopy (2012)
Journal Article
Wang, Z., Kiely, J., Vargas, A. M., & Luxton, R. W. (2012). Comparison of cytotoxic changes in ECV304 cell through exposure to DMSO and sodium butyrate using impedance spectroscopy. Procedia Chemistry, 6, 89-99. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.proche.2012.10.134

This paper decides an impedance spectroscopy measurement system for real-time monitoring of cellular toxicity. The system is used to compare the impedance response of ECV304 cells to two toxicants, dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) and sodium butyrate. The...

Magnetizable antibody-like proteins (2010)
Journal Article
Dehal, P. K., Livingston, C. F., Dunn, C. G., Buick, R., Luxton, R. W., & Pritchard, D. J. (2010). Magnetizable antibody-like proteins. Biotechnology Journal, 5(6), 596-604. https://doi.org/10.1002/biot.200900273

Use of paramagnetic particles to isolate molecules or cells from complex media is well established. Typically, particles are manufactured and coated with a biological molecule that confers specific biorecognition. Incubation of particles with sample...

Spot test: new technologies bring point-of-care testing into the 21st century (2009)
Journal Article
Luxton, R. W., & Kiely, J. (2009). Spot test: new technologies bring point-of-care testing into the 21st century

Every new technology offers the potential to effect changes in practise; many developments driven by the world-wide demand for instant results. This is never as true as in the arena of diagnostic testing. Once the sole preserve of the hospital labo...

Paramagnetic particle detection for use with an immunoassay based biosensor (2007)
Journal Article
Kiely, J., Hawkins, P., Wraith, P., & Luxton, R. (2007). Paramagnetic particle detection for use with an immunoassay based biosensor. IET Science Measurement and Technology, 1(5), 270-275. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-smt%3A20060103

A biosensor and detection system that can provide measurement of analyte concentration within a test sample in four minutes is presented. The biosensor uses an immunoassay with micrometre-sized paramagnetic particle (PMP) labels for quantification. A...
