bEnd3 culture under flow for BBB mimetic (sort of)
ByHenryHi all, For the past one month I have been working on a height-based device for culturing bEnd3 (mouse brain endothelial cells) under flow. Ideally, this device is to constitute a blood brain barrier (BBB) mimetic. Device Full View (Front): The fluid flow is driven by hydrostatic pressure, created through the differences in the…
Porosity vs Discoloration I
We have known, W683: no visible pores; W684: very few pores; W685: usual porosity. After Vlassak’s view on discoloration, I took samples from above wafers to check if any difference in discoloration can be seen as they have different porosities. We could expect the more porous material to degrade faster than the less porous and…
Adsorption of F-BSA on PEGylated pnc-Si, PEGylated Glass, Glass
This study was run to test test the efficacy of PEGylation in blocking BSA adsorption. Three surface types were used, glass, PEGylated glass, and PEGylated pnc-SI. The glass was cleaned in Ethyl Alcohol, dried and UV treated, PEGylated glass was procured from Microsurfaces Inc. who also PEGylated our samples of pnc-Si, which did not have…
Diffusion of BSA through SC267 prevented using UV-Ozone
ByMike HAs 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…
Reviewing membrane impact
To identify how much of an effect the membrane has on particular simulations, we originally came up with the idea of using a phenomenological effective diffusion to view the membrane impact (see this post). Here is the most up to date version of the figure, which was slotted for use in the simulated diffusion paper:…
