Viscosity vs. [BSA]
Are you wondering why Dean has yet to go beyond 30% BSA in his clearance studies? Here is why …

Permeability of NPN vs. Cellulose Triacetate
UPDATE: Some data presented here is out of date. For up-to-date data, see my next post here. — Lately I’ve been performing comparison experiments between our NPN membranes (wafer 1132, 3 slot SEPCON, 40-48nm pores and 13-20% porosity) and commercial cellulose triacetate filtration membranes, with respect to the degree to which they hinder the diffusion…
Day2:Cell Adhesion (Trial 3)
On Day 2 of cell growth from trial 3 of adhesion study, cells looked much more spread out but less in density. Most of the cells were observed to have concentrated near the edge of the pnc-Si chip near the Sepcon as seen in the figure below (first image in the bottom row). This could…
Microfluidic control over millimeter scale alignment of collagen fibers
Type I collagen is a fibrous protein and the largest constituent of the ECM by mass. Collagen fibers are aligned across several millimeters to centimeters within load-bearing tissues, like the musculoskeletal tissue, cardiac tissue, and the cornea. Millimeter scale regions of fiber alignment are also observed in the tumor stroma and fibrotictissue. At the cell scale,…
Nanoporous and Nonporous Tents show interesting wetting behavior
Summary Since our last attempt, Greg and I have been attempting to refine our tenting experiments with the goal of demonstrating that we’re able to hydrate the volume underneath a nanoporous tent. This latest experiment is very similar to our previous experiment in theory, but we made some key changes which are discussed herein. Most…
The New Concentration Polarization Model Turns Out To Be Difficult To Implement In Matlab
This is part three of a series of posts on constructing a mathematical model of the movement of gold through a porous membrane. In part one, I implemented William Deen’s mathematical model of the electrostatic and steric effects that contribute to whether a gold nanoparticle will translocate through a pore. The mathematica and matlab code…
