Zusammenfassung

Die isothermale Mikrokalorimetrie (IMC) ist ein nicht spezifisches Wärmemessverfahren. Die hohe Sensitivität des Verfahrens (0,2 μW) erlaubt den Nachweis kleinster Wärmemengen z. B. produziert von Mikroorganismen oder eukaryoten Zellen. Ziel dieser Übersichtsarbeit ist es, technische Grundlagen mikrokalorimetrischer Messungen zu vermitteln sowie über Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft dieser vielversprechenden Technologie im urologischen Kontext zu berichten.

Abstract

Isothermal microcalorimetry (IMC) is a nonspecific analytical tool for measurement of heat. With sensitivity in the order of 0.2 μW, IMC can detect very small amounts of heat produced by only a small number of microorganisms or eukaryotic cells. This report is intended to introduce IMC to the urological audience and to give an overview about the past, present and future of this cutting edge technology in the urological context.
