HUVEC growth kinetics with serum free media as control
HUVEC growth was monitored for 4 days on different substrates (glass, plastic and pncSi), this time in media (EGM) with and without serum. Growth in media w/o serum was observed to be much slower than the growth in media with FBS. Hence, media w/o serum can be used as a possible control for the growth…
Nanopore Battery Review
Nanobattery Paper Nanobattery Supplement I have long desired to make energy storage devices with our nanomembranes (supercapacitor post), mainly because they would be really great separators, having both excellent charge conduction and physical barrier resistance due to the porosity and material properties of silicon. Other groups have begun to take advantage of the increased…
Staphing Issues: Standardizing the Staphylococcus aureus µSiM-CA Division Assay
After continually seeing variability in assays using the microfluidic silicon membrane canalicular array (µSiM-CA) and developing a new technique to visualize bacterial division in the µSiM-CA, discussed here, we wanted to improve and stabilize the performance of our assays. Currently, the µSiM-CA is used by our lab, the Gill lab and the Dunman lab to…
Permeance and Hydraulic Permeability of ~500 nm pores in 5-slot chips
Permeance Testing Sepcons were built with 500 nm 5-slot chips. Permeance tests were performed on Samples A-C. Nitrogen gas was pushed through the membrane at a given pressure, and the height on the flow meter tube (green graduated column pictured below) was recorded according to the location of the center of the silver ball. No units…
BMES 18 – Exosomes: separation and sensing
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…
TEOS vs. Thermal Oxide
This week, we explored the possible differences a thermal oxide making layer had versus a TEOS on membrane morphology. Here’s what we found: The top image shows wafer 410 @ (1,0) and the bottom wafer 503 @ (1,0). Both wafers were annealed, cleaned, sputtered using the same conditions. The only difference was the masking material….
