Membrane dimensions
Below is an optical image that shows the amount of area loss caused by the preferential EDP etch. Based on these numbers, our most recent membrane slits measure 115 um x 2014 um.
Pore tunability w/o susceptor
Below are a series of TEM micrographs showing a set of membranes produced last week. We RTPed these wafers at 700 (SC 062), 800 (SC 064) and 850 C (SC065) without the susceptor at a ramp rate of 100 C/s. The trend is increased pore size and porosity with increasing temperature which follows our intuition…
Long-term viability – pnc-Si and PET transwells
Some transwell cell culture models require 1 week or more of cell growth in order to let the cells fully differentiate and form mature monolayer barriers. I had a couple of leftover samples a couple of weeks ago, so I measured the viability of cells on RTP’ed pnc-Si and PET transwells 7 days after plating…
Mtg with INT
Karl and I went to INT to meet with Mike Connolly and Rick Murante for preliminary discussions on the PFI project. Our role as proposed in the grant is to provide membranes capable of eliminating false positives by using ~20nm pnc-Si to reduce contamination. Here’s a link to an INT video showing their process and prototype. (4…
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…
ECMO Experimental Design
As I’m approaching the end of my time here at UofR, there’s one last thing I’d like to fit into my thesis: experimental validation of the ECMO model. In this post I’m going to describe the experimental design, and in a future post I’ll discuss the model in more detail (pending a more complete set…

There is a method for direct determination of mass within the optical path which may be valuable here, and produces interference fringes similar to what i can already see in your images:

When Greg is in Nottingham later in the year we can make a pilgrimage to a colleagues scope in Glasgow and quantify this directly, if you haven’t cracked it already by then 🙂
