W620: Mechanical Testing
The production crew recently delivered W620 to the lab, which was created to mimic W504 (and W612). W620 shows high burst pressure and has air permeability comparable to W504/612.

Shear Stress in a Rectangular Channel
As I am hoping to promote tighter junctions between endothelial cells in my device, I am trying to create an environment that produces shear stress on the endothelial cells. Shear stress up-regulates the pathways that promote tight junctions (Tzima et al 2005, Dejanna et al 2004). The value of the quantity is somewhere around 6…
Effect of Exosomes on Wound Healing Assay – 2
ByAslanHello Everyone, So Shannon and i have been working on studying the effect of exosomes in different conditions for wound healing assays and random migrations. This post is about one of our experiments (wound healing) to give you an update on our data and what we’re able to get with Henry’s matlab code. How the…

Computational modeling of diffusive transport
Lately I’ve been working on building computational models which can be used to make predictions about the behavior of a diffusion experiment, to allow for the collection of large pools of data without the difficulty and time consumption associated with actually performing an experiment. This could prove to be a valuable tool for the continued…
AFM Scans of NPN, MgF2, and Au-coated Membranes
With my TEM tilt stack work, we can see a marked difference in the roughness of npMg2 and NPN. Quantifying the bulk roughness properties of the npMgF2 using AFM gives us a way to check that property. Surface roughness has been known to effect SERS activity in other substrates, and our current hypothesis is that…
Take Two: n-Dodecyl β-D-Maltoside Coating on PDMS
Now that I’ve got plenty of fluorescent protein, I’ve moved back to testing protein adsorption to various surfaces. I’ve repeated the n-Dodecyl β-D-Maltoside (“DDM”) coating procedure (reference) with the goal of preventing or heavily decreasing the protein adsorption to the PDMS surface. This time I had a total of four samples: DDM treated, sham treated, untreated,…
