Proof of Concept for a AC Electro-Osmotic Mixer on an NPN chip
I’ve been trying to make the following device work for the past few years: The people who have been studying this have been trying to use the phenomena to mix solutions, or using arrays of mismatched electrodes to generate a sort of conveyor belt pumping mechanism: My idea is to use the electrokinetic phenomena of AC…

Cross-chip resistances for SiN chips coated in Ag and Al2O3
In my continuing efforts (previous post) to create a nanofluidic transistor, I recently repeated some of my earlier attempts to prototype a basic Si-Ag-Al2O3 stack. This time, however, I used SiN chips from wafer #1070 (<40 nm>). As before, I aimed for a ~3 nm Ti adhesion layer (4.3 nm actually) and a 12 nm…
BSA Size/Zeta-Potential and BSA-DDM Complex Results
ByMike HYesterday I used the Melvern to determine particle size and zeta-potential for BSA in DI-water. For the particle sizing I used a concentration of 2mg/mL but I had to increase the concentration to 10mg/mL in order to get an accurate zeta-potential measurment. As shown above the size measurements provided an average diameter of approximately 5.6nm….
