Retina Explant Models on Nanotube Scaffolds: Enabling Vision Science with High-Purity Biomaterials from Advent
Leading German research teams fabricated titania nanotube biomaterial scaffolds to support living retina tissue in long-term ex vivo experiments. This pioneering technique advances eye disease modelling, drug testing, and neurobiology—showcasing the essential role of precision metals in modern vision science.
Metabolic Monitoring in Cartilage Models: How New Biosensor Work Could Support Future OA Research
A new study published in Sensors and Actuators demonstrates a major step forward in osteoarthritis (OA) research. Scientists from Imperial College London, TU Wien, and the Medical University of Vienna have developed a cartilage-on-a-chip system that can track metabolic changes in real time using integrated glucose and lactate biosensors.

Real-Time Tribocorrosion Testing at TU Wien: A Case Study Using Advent Platinum Wire
Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) have developed a new way to study tribocorrosion in real time. Their method, reported in the Journal of The Electrochemical Society (2025), shows how metal surfaces behave the moment they are scratched and how their protective layers rebuild. Advent Research Materials supplied the high-purity platinum wire used as the counter electrode in the tests, forming part of a controlled and reliable electrochemical setup.
