Hemo-Dialysis Channel Flow Characterization

Hello Everyone, So i decided to do some calculations on our 2 different sets of experiments (Track Etched and NPN) and compare the applied and the required force of them, in addition to making sure that we are applying enough force on the particles to keep them captured. The experiment conditions for both TE and…

In this post I look at our membrane resistance and compare it to the best performing alumina membrane. Here is the resistance figure I made for the paper: This figure shows the device resistance with and without a membrane.  The membrane resistance would be the difference between the white and grey bars.  We would like…

Hello everyone, Aslan and I attended talks regarding EVs enrichment which can be divided into two broad categories depending on their ability to recover and reuse the EVS or not. There is a recent review called “New technologies for analysis of extracellular vesicles” published this year on Chemical Reviews. Their breakdown of the different methods…

Today I etched wafer 621, which is the pair to 620.  While w620 has a relatively low pinhole density, w621 shows a much higher occurence of defects. Since the front-end processing and thermal treatment was identical for these wafers, I believe that the variability lies in the etch process.  Looking at the two wafers side-by-side,…

The BT method mentioned in this post seemed to give stable particles, but the BSA-Au did not work in separations.  After about 24 hours, the particles retained pink color but seemed to settle in tubes.  This may be due to reversable flocculation, not aggregation.  The retentate and filtrates in separation experiments both lost all color,…
