Membrane dimensions
Below is an optical image that shows the amount of area loss caused by the preferential EDP etch.
Based on these numbers, our most recent membrane slits measure 115 um x 2014 um.

Pore Density vs. Pore Radius Graphs, 15nm width and 1000RTP
The purpose of this post is to see if there is a pattern in the Pore Density vs. Pore Radius graphs at certain manufacturing conditions. The following wafers all have widths of 15nm and RTPs of 1000. The porosities range from 6.48% to 8.33%. **** note: the y-axis label should actually read “pore density (#/nm2)”…

Adventures in Bioprinting
Objective Develop an easily mainpulated reproducible vasculogenesis assay using hydrogels laden with endothelial cells (‘bio-ink’) patterned using the technique of extrusion bioprinting Bio-inks Develop a bio-ink with the following characteristics Cell viable: bio-ink must sustain cell life, allowing cells to manipulate and move through the hydrogel Vasculogenic: bio-ink must encourage (or at least not negatively affect) tubule formation…
We have the Tecan M200 until Oct. 6th!
Demos of the Molecular Devices M2e and Tecan Infinite M200 are done. Erik from Tecan left us the M200 to use until October 6th. Please come try out your assays on it. Or check sensitivities. Jess or I could probably steer you in the right direction as far as the software is concerned. My impressions…
SEM of 4-hour Hemodialysis Membranes
To image the blood side (in-channel) side of the membranes, I transferred the membranes of a HD chip onto another wafer segment (SiN wafer: 4534) The transfer wasn’t clean but I got some good images. These membranes were exposed to blood flow for 4 hours in a typical rat HD setup. Post experiment, the membranes…
Creating Unwanted Vacuoles in Endothelial Cells With Flow – Mossu et al – unpublished
ByBrittaVacuoles with pulling flow vs pushing flow This video shows an example of the first trials with the uSim flow cell (Tejas’ early versions) when creating laminar flow over a monolayer of BLECs – see Mossu et al, JCBFM 2018 – the issue we had to overcome was to avoid creating vacuoles in the endothelial…
