Tendon-on-Chip Platform for Modeling Inflammation and Fibrosis in Tendon Injury

I found another old wafer # 760 and asked Josh Miller to deposit a 25-50-25 OSO stack.  He did a standard RTP of 1050 C, 60 s, 100 C/s.  (and Josh Miller did the EDP etch, so this is really all his work) I measured a porosity ~4.5 %, and avg. dia. ~40 nm.  For…

Hello Everyone, So as you probably remember, we were able to show the capturing and releasing successfully.   In addition, we have a Matlab Code now which helps us for intensity change, so as you can see in the next figure which is the analyzed data for videos at the top, it shows capturing gradually…

After several months of modeling, experimenting, thinking and rethinking, it’s finally time to talk about the conclusions we can draw about nanomembrane ECMO. These conclusions take into account only blood oxygenation, and not blood decarboxylation, which is a different therapy that I have not modeled. You can find my description of the model here, and…

In order to include pumps on the prototype blood analyzer cartridges, it was necessary to implement a small pump using the existing knife-cut PDMS layer layup technique. The diaphragm architecture was selected due to ease of operation and minimal additional part requirements. CAD model of pump in Autodesk Inventor Bottom view of fabricated pump. The…

Summary I need to replace the function of my breath to get water into the femtoliter sized cavity of the monolithic device. I achieve this using a small stream of ethanol vapor as a precursor, and then replace the ethanol with water. Once the chips are wet, they should be reasonably stable until they can…
