In my previous post on applying voltage to a silver-coated NPN chip, I put up a video which, if you squinted and were willing to be charitable, showed that I could modify the EO pumping behavior of the chip by applying 2 V to the membrane. I repeated the experiment, and I think I can…
In an earlier post we saw that intact membrane sample discolored slower than the broken one. To establish this, a study using four types of samples from #702 (blank chip with no slits, chip with both intact membranes, chip with one intact membrane and chip with both broken membranes) was carried out. The samples (no…
This is the second in my series of posts that will be on my model exosome system. As I am trying to define the appropriate conditions for separating exosomes from blood and other fluids, I am first going through and trying to isolate each important parameter and see how they affect the capture of these…
As part of my work over at the University of Nottingham, I’ve been using iBidi devices to grow cells. Eventually, I will use their product to do Raman studies of cells grown on my MgF2 substrates. I’ve been making some progress towards that end using PDMS (I’ve been using 10:1 base to curing agent for…
Test of Binding/ Unbinding (Carrie and Barrett): Test to see if we can successfully bind Human IgG to the protein A beads and then remove it with buffer B. After ordering the new human IgG and protein A beads, I have been working on a higher-quality analysis of the binding and dissociating of the IgG…
Introduction Inflammatory diseases have the potential to disrupt blood vessel permeability. This has serious ramifications for the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which is the interface between the vasculature and the brain. A healthy BBB allows essential nutrients to pass through while excluding molecules that might alter brain chemistry. If inflammation were to increase the BBB’s permeability…
