HUVEC spreading on pncSi and glass
Following time lapse movies show the spreading of HUVECs on pncSi and glass ( @ 37C, in L15 media supplemented with 10% FBS) over a time period of ~4 hrs.

Measuring Gold Separations
Even though we don’t have defect free membranes, I wanted to tweak the gold setup using membranes with pinholes. Previously I was using the small scale diffusion chamber that I use for protein separations. This setup has a retentate of 2-3 uL and a filtrate of 60 uL. To do particle sizing using the Malvern…
PDMS cell channels
Michael and I have been working to create cell channels of varying widths and heights to test out a concept used in a paper we recently read as a group. This work claims to see cell cords in 12 hours, so no media renewal is necessary. The channels were made by layering and bonding…
BSA detection on NC
Creating an array to hold a pnc-Si wafer to proving to be difficult. The PDMS spreads too rapidly though the NC to form a consistent array for the pnc-Si membrane (and eventually wafer) to rest on. I’m still running different trials of the PDMS on NC to see if I can get the array to…
Discoloration – autoclave #2
I repeated the autoclave experiment from earlier this week, but this time I also used the Sepcon format. I used wafer 662, which was contaminated with large spots. This was done in the oven in RPMI-1640 with FBS (no RTP). I think my 0 hour pictures were accidentally erased from the camera, but I think…
NSF proposal on Catalytic Membrane Reactors
I submitted a proposal last week with Tom & I as co-PI’s to NSF’s Process Reaction Engineering division in CBET.

The effects of driving pressure on sieving behavior in SiN Sepcons
We’ve been wondering for some time just how the thinness of our membrane will affect the concentration polarization behavior of solutes. Because solutes with sieving coefficients less than 1 are (by definition) moving slower than the solvent around them, in the area before the membrane their concentration increases. In the case of proteins, this so-called…

Looks great.
So we have fibroblasts on glass and HUVEC on pnc-Si. I guess we have a couple more to go?
Make sure you can submit your to the publisher at the same play rate and same duration to make the point that pncSi = glass when it comes to cell spreading.
Yes, I am left with HUVEC on glass and fibroblast on pncSi. I tried fibroblast on pncSi, but it doesn’t look great as the seeding density was high.
I got that point and will make sure the movies are ready for submission.
