Contact Angle Study
According to recent cell adhesion studies on aminosilanized pncSi, no significant difference between adherence to the silanized and non-silanized surfaces was found. This could have been due to the adsorption of protein from the cell growth media onto the surface nullifying the effect due to silanization which is supposed to make it hydrophobic. ‘If silane…
Water permeability with %50 EtOH soak, ozone
In an attempt to help wet the pores prior to permeability experiments, I’ve started soaking assembled SepCons in a %50 ethanol solution. Each SepCon is inserted into an eppendorf so that the membrane side is fully submerged. I realized that in my last post, I was soaking multiple samples in a beaker which did not…
Simple Sieving Model
ByJimIn an effort to better understand and check Karl’s model of sieving, I’ve built a significantly simpler version. The goal is to investigate the potential benefits of thinner membranes in dead-end filtration and separations. In my model 1 ml of water is displaced from the top bucket to an originally empty bottom bucket with a…

AFM – new tips and wafer characterization
I ordered some new AC160 tips last week from Asylum and got on the AFM Thursday to test them out. I think they solved some of the problems I was running into over the last few weeks. Mainly, I was finally able to image entirely in repulsive mode (which was impossible with the older tips). All of…
Dye transport through 501
It took me a little while to figure out how to turn the .avi file into a .gif, but here is an image of the diffusion through 501. Due to a problem with MatLab, it took about 5min before I started taking images of the diffusion. So this starts at ~5 min after the 100mM…

Still no details on the membranes. I’m impressed that they get to go to Capital Hill, but I don’t see where their breakthrough is.
