How water sticks to surfaces

A cool article and video on water ‘sticking’ the surface. Notice the difference in advancing and receding angles.

Urea/f-BSA/cytochrome c concentrations in retentate after dialysis: 12 hours
Continuing on the path of hemodialysis, we are increasing the complexity of the fluid being dialyzed. In this long-term experiment I will pump 100% serum with added urea (1mM) cytochrome c (1 mg/mL) and fluorescent BSA (1 mg/mL). So I need to detect urea, BSA, and cytochrome c in serum. Cytochrome c absorbs at 405…
HMM Diffusion through pnc-Si Sepcons
Carrie and I have been trying to detect HMM (APOBEC3G) diffusion through Sepcons without much luck. We determined that the dilution factor (~1:30) for diffusion in our 384-well plate format was too high to detect HMM in the basolateral well. To try to get around this problem, I decreased the volume (and thus dilution factor)…
Fibroblast spreading on the membrane
Time lapse movie of fibroblast spreading on the nanomembrane was captured over a period of ~ 8 hours. I was having some problem uploading the video here, thus have done so in the NRG knowledge page under the cell culture manuscript.
SEM images of Exosome Scale experiments (After Capturing)
ByAslanHello Everyone, Following up the discussion that we had in my last post https://trace-bmps.org/sem-images-for-micro-nano-scale-experiments/about my SEM images after capturing and cleaning. It was suggested to tilt the samples and make sure that beads are inside the pores. So I did a second round of SEM imaging on the same sample. And tilted images clearly…
Tom's Latest Gold Separation Figure
ByJimI asked Tom to add gold PES separations of NPs to his earlier figure and to evaluate the loss of NPs during the use of these filters compared to pnc-Si. Here is what he came up … All experiments (including pnc-Si) were done at 10 PSI with 200 ul of starting material above the membrane…
200nm thick Si film from the NSN stack
ByJoe QiDuring my visit last, I deposited a couple of wafers and one of them is to test a even thicker Si film from the NSN stack. The thickness for the Si film is 200nm and the nitride layers are still 30nm. After deposition, the Si wafer was etched and the pop-out TEM grids were then…
