Subscripts and Superscripts
Helpful Hint:
H<sub>2</sub>O typed as text will yield H2O visually,
and E = mc<sup>2</sup>O typed as text will yield E = mc2. Of course this affects line height, so choose your poison, I guess.

Discoloration – autoclave
My previous discoloration post showed that chips in the Sepcon format discolored much slower than flat chips. A flat chip in the same well as a Sepcon chip seemed to accelerate discoloration. One thing about the Sepcon format that I hadn’t thought of earlier was that pnc-Si in Sepcons is autoclaved for sterility. So I…
Make Sure to Filter Salts Before Passing Them Through Sepcons
Previously, I had gotten some inexplicable results showing that increasing salt concentration decreases the flow through a membrane. This makes no sense (and goes against our previous data) because we would expect electrostatic forces to counteract the flow, an effect called counterelectroosmosis by Zydney: “The situation in the presence of a net fluid flow through…
Blood and PBS in large Lift-off device.
I attempted to clear the large format lift-off devices (from Josh). I was unable to clear, in a reasonable amount of time (< 2 hours) by pumping IPA. So I switched to PBS then Blood and blue-dyed PBS (dye is estimated to be between 10 nm and 500 nm, obviously the amount of dye near…
Pore formation theory
In this post, I will present my thoughts on the possible mechanisms of pore formation based on our most recent observations with the substrate bias experiments. As a precursor, I will discuss silicon crystallization since it is intimately related to the pore formation process. I will try to show that pore nucleation is driven by…
[Rotation] HUVEC Cell Culturing on Aline and SiMPore Devices
Introduction Aline and SiMPore are producing devices at much higher manufacturing rates than we were capable of in the McGrath lab. In order to verify that these manufactured devices are capable of growing cells and allowing for cell survival, live/dead assays were performed on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) grown 48 hours on either…
INT results from 4/3/13
I brought some 20nm and 40nm Sepcons to Integrated NanoTechnologies last Wednesday. First, we passed some short radio-labeled DNA strands through a 40 nm Sepcon, and then some longer strands. Both were able to pass through the membrane with a transmission rate of ~70% (as measured by scintillation), and the length of the strand did…
