Gene vs Protein nomenclature

A new user in URnano has used the “old” susceptor for a ~270 C  (I might have the exact number wrong, but it is relatively low temp) to heat In on GaAs.  I don’t think there was ever a good reason for using the RTP for this process, but what is done is done.  I…

During the history of pnc-Si fabrication, we have always observed that pore formation is intimately related to the crystallization process.  In general, large nanocrystals in a film correspond with larger pore diameters.  A partially crystallized film will have a low density of films.  Following the work that describes crystallization of a-Si in terms of kinetic…

In my last post I reported findings that the bottom well of a CytoVu assembly is capable of adsorbing protein at about 0.03 ug/mL, or 0.75ng of protein. This is a fairly small value, but for the purposes of a sensitive separation such as the FLAG tests that I’ve been working on, it can be…

The samples of nanoparticles from the Barcikowski lab finally arrived after 9 days in transport. Regrettably, the ice pack they shipped with was completely dead, and it is possible that the samples were in some way ruined. After we received the shipment, I immediately ran a small amount of each sample in the DLS machine,…

As mentioned in my previous few posts Justin and I have been working to characterize contact angles resultant from various exposures in the UV-Ozone system. Earlier this week we got our new oxygen tank installed and it appears that after using the 15min cleaning protocol (15min@150C with vacuum) noticeable decreases in contact angles can be…

SepCon Experiment (Carrie): Does it work in a SepCon format? Use “Protein A Beads and IgG Binding and Filtering (with SepCon Format)” 9/29/09 Make Buffer B at pH 3 9/30/09 1) Rinse off ethanol 2) Add IgG Take absorbance reading of 1 aliquot of IgG (2×10μl samples) [D7= 0.565abs, D8=0.63abs] Transfer beads to 2ml centrifuge…
