New metal coated wafer#502
Wafer#502 was coated with 10nm_Ti & 15nm_Au on Friday.
I will pick out pinhole free membranes later today.
I will also try to get TEM images at Karen’s lab (medical center).
// The RIT clean room is closed this week.

Microscopy on TEM Grids with Kevin Webb @ University of Nottingham
Dr. Webb is very interested in the thin nanomembranes that our group experiments with. To date, he has been trying to get cells to grow on SiN microporous material and image them with a few different types of microscopy (Phase, Confocal, Scanning Conductance Ion Microscopy). The cells have not grown well natively on the nitride…
Diffusion Stir Cell Update
Mike and I tested the movement of Rhodamine between the two cell channels to prove that the Rhodamine particles do diffuse through the membrane. After inspection in the microscope we saw that the fluorescence from the Rhodamine does transfer from one channel to the other across the membrane. However, we also noticed that the Rhodamine…
Exosome Capture from Fresh Human Plasma

A First Attempt to Generate Ultrasound with pnc-Si EO Pumps (with Stephen McAleavey) was Inconclusive.
After seeing my previous post on modulating EO pumping behavior with an applied voltage, Jim asked if we could use pnc-Si as an Ultrasound generator. In the following video, I gave it a shot: MVI_2604 (relevant points from the video: a square wave of +/- 10V applied across a pnc-Si membrane results in apparently instantaneous…
Coomassie Densitometry and Loss
Previously I have silver stained all gels because the separations look very clear with this staining technique. However, the silver stain is not giving very quantifiable results. Coomassie staining means a loss in sensitivity, but it’s the gold standard for quantifying protein amounts. Here I’ve stained one of the protein separation results and rerun with…
