New sputtering system

Introduction In a previous post I introduced the concept of endothelium apicobasal polarity and the potential to utilize this concept for future sepsis drug development: Endothelium Apicobasal Polarity Regulates the Innate Immune Response In Vitro [In Progress] In this post, I will expand on the ‘mock’ TNF-α experiments with recombinant IL-8 as well as add…

In this post I show the sieving coefficients of simulations with a thin membrane, a thick membrane, or a no membrane case as they approach equilibrium.  The simulations were carried out for 48 hours, and plotted for 1 hour time points.  Both thin and thick membrane had the same pore distribution – monodisperse 10 nm…

This is a continuation of the initial experiments testing the possibility of creating porous Si membranes with thicknesses ranging from 50 to several hundred nm, and mean pore diameters from ~50-200 nm. As suggested, we’ve started using 200 µm thick wafers and we’ve patterned with the Cell Culture mask as well as the Deflection Mask….
