Brainstorm: Extracorporeal Liver Support
The purpose of this post is to start a general discussion around the idea of using ultrathin silicon-based membranes and graphene oxide to improve Extracorporeal Liver Support, also called Artificial Liver Support (ALS) for patients with acute liver failure (ALF). What is Extracorporeal Liver Support? This is essentially the equivalent of renal dialysis for the liver….
Palladium membrane hydrogen purifier
I have been talking with JP about getting some pnc-Si membranes coated with ~10-20 nm layers of Pd (or Pd-Ag) to do preliminary tests on hydrogen permeation devices. Tom and I are thinking of submitting a proposal. This kind of technology has been used industrially and follows the general principle shown below: These operate at…
NSF proposal on Catalytic Membrane Reactors
I submitted a proposal last week with Tom & I as co-PI’s to NSF’s Process Reaction Engineering division in CBET. Novel Catalytic Membrane Reactor Based on Ultra-thin Palladium Film Supported on Nano-structured Inorganic Membrane I’m attaching the intro. paragraph and a couple of the figures to give a general idea of what the proposal is…
An interesting action shot of membrane transfer
I wish I had read Tucker’s lat post before trying this, but since I just got the steam jig from the machine shop I wanted to try it out. My mistake in the two transfers I attempted was that I applied the steam evenly as opposed to the suggested 45 degree angle, but the results…
Nanomembranes in Potassium Ion Selective Electrodes for use as a Portable Point of Care Device
Overview Analysis of blood has long proven to provide insight into the health of the respective patient. Arduously researched, many components of blood have arisen as markers of health. These include various biomarkers such as proteins, antibodies, and cell derived vesicles, but also include ion concentrations. While the library of markers is vast and continuously…
Nanomembranes+Microfluidic PETLs Integration
Our collaborator Fernando has made a really nifty way to make microfluidics work with lamination pouches. These flat pouches can be sealed together using a heat activated glue, which can be done consistently using a 15 for a 100-pack of 8.5″x12″ pouches + $40 laminator Put multiple materials and multiple chips in the same microfluidic package….
