Goniometer Introduction
With the goniometer nearly finished, I’d like to share a look at what has been created: Introduction A surface contact angle goniometer (SCAG) measures the angle(s) of contact that a droplet of liquid makes with a surface. This particular SCAG does this by creating a shadow that is isometric with the droplet and recording its…
RTP Time Variation for Cell Culture
In an attempt to improve membrane life in cell culture, different RTP times were tried on a single wafer. Samples from W514 were RTPed in Ar at 800C for 1, 5, and 10 minutes, respectively. Cells were then seeded at confluence on membranes, with membrane stability monitored for breakage. Discoloration was monitored on samples without…
Liquid Silanization again
A bunch of samples from W683 (no RTP) were liquid silanized and used in 3D format to track discoloration in comparison to control sample, in DMEM(-FBS) @ 37C in Oven. I used all the cracked chips which broke while clamping them into Sepcons. Instead of tossing them off, I just wanted to repeat the discoloration…
Live/Dead Assay for BBB Device
A quick recap: Vaccinex has asked the lab to design a closed system device with the capability to co-culture on microporous membranes. This device would be used to mimic the blood brain barrier, with endothelial cells cultured on the apical side and glial cells cultured on the basal side, and would allow for the testing…

Tecan and Transport
Before starting my transport project with the use of the Tecan, it was important to see how the Tecan worked with the sepcon and transwell kept in the well plate. The goals from this experiment were to: 1. Test for fluorescence from the plastic. 2. See if fluorescence from the apical side has an affect…

This is all great data. Have we made any progress in mapping the flow rate to the pore size distribution and porosity of the membranes?
