The invention relates to the field of detecting and measuring misfolded proteins/peptides. In particular, the invention relates to the detection and measurement of misfolded proteins/peptides in bodily fluids and on cell surfaces and tissues of persons and mammals, to the detection of misfolded proteins/peptides in test reagents for research purposes and/or diagnostic purposes and in medications or medication additives, and to the removal of misfolded proteins/peptides from test reagents for research purposes and/or diagnostic purposes and from medications or medication additives. The invention further relates to detection substances and methods for detecting biofilms, to a method for testing the hemocompatibility of materials and for optimizing medical products, to reagents for cultivating microorganisms in order to make diagnostics and the quality control of biopharmaceuticals easier, and to detection substances for screening for precursors of amyloids, which can be used for technical purposes. |
