HUVEC adhesion update

JMP7 statistical software was used to perform a Tukey-Kramer analysis on both burst pressure (psi) and air permeability for membranes fabricated on 200um and 400um wafers. This data has been collected from a spreadsheet that is maintained by Karl and Maryna. The following plots are only examples since there are several other conditions that may…

Last week a set of four wafers was processed at four different RTP temperatures (1000, 950, 900, 850 C).  Unfortunately, the yield across these wafers was low due to possible metal contamination in the film and etch issues.  However, the TEMs still show a range of porosities and pore sizes across the different thermal treatments….

The urea assay is straight forward. 6 wells are filled with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 nmol of the urea standard (50 nL). Each well is activated with 50 nL of the reaction mix. Reaction Mix Sample control Urea Assay Buffer 44µl 46µl OxiRed Probe 2µl 2µl Enzyme mix 2µl 2µl Developer 2µl…

Microplastic contamination in drinking water is a contemporary problem that has captured the public eye, and we’re now seeing a growing demand for scientific examination of the issue. In response to this, we have recently been working on establishing a microplastics capture and analysis platform with silicon nanomembranes for environmental water samples. We started by…
