Abstract: A method and a device for the detection of transglutaminases, in particularly of blood coagulation factor XIII (FXIII). The method is based on a rapid, point-of-care compatible test principle for transglutaminases and allows an exact determination of FXIII in a short time and with simple handling.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cellulose based papers coated with nitrocellulose as well as to methods for producing such coated papers and methods for using them, especially in lateral flow applications.

Abstract: A test arrangement for examining a cell culture under the effect of a dynamic force has a three-dimensionally designed support structure which is designed such that the cell culture is embedded into the support structure. By applying a force, the support structure is deformed, wherein a force application device has a first actuator which acts on the support structure at a distance from the cell culture embedded in the support structure. The force application device has a second actuator and a third actuator, each of which acts on the support structure at a distance from the cell culture embedded in the support structure. The third actuator exerts a force onto the support structure, the force being oriented differently than the force exerted by the first actuator and the force exerted the second actuator.
