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 – Water soak
This week, I did a quick discoloration experiment based on Chris’s comment at lab meeting. He wondered if soaking the chips in water for a while would allow potential discoloration-causing contaminants to slowly leech out. I took 2 chips from wafer 622 and soaked them in ~ 300mL DIH20 overnight (with a couple of water…
Hemocompatibility studies: Summary
Hemocompatiblity of pncSi membranes was tested by checking for three main parameters: 1) Platelet adhesion, aggregation and activation studies 2) Complement protein activation studies 3) Assaying levels of thrombin generation All the studies and their assays were based on the paper by Fissell and Roy, who tested the same parameters on surface modified silicon wafers….
Non-Fouling Micro-Patterned Surface for the Study of Pore Contribution in Cell-Substrate Interactions
Optimization of the PLL-g-PEG coating on SiO2 substrate: The first goal was developing an efficient method for PLL-g-PEG coating which provides a high density of PLL-g-PEG grafting on SiO2 substrate and effectively prevent cell adhesion. To achieve this goal, different concentrations of PLL-g-PEG in 10mM HEPES solution ranging from 0.1 to 0.9 mg/ml (0.1, 0.3,…
Membranes deposited with 'dirty' targets
The AJA sputtering system has 2 oxide targets and 1 silicon target that are focused with stainless steel chimneys. During our process, films inevitably deposit on the chimney and shutters and after a while start cracking causing flakes of material to fall on the targets. I have noticed that our thinner amorphous films (5 nm,…
Initial Stirred Cell Results for Benchmarking
ByAndreaIntroduction: At the last meeting, I introduced the new stirred cell device acquired in Tom’s lab (here). I have expanded the study to observe changes in flux and concentration for each of the membranes used. Experiments: Each of the experiments was run with BSA having an initial concentration of 1mg/mL, this concentration is determined using spectrophotometry…
Porous nanocrystalline germanium (pnc-Ge) membranes
ByJoe QiHello everyone! I’d like to show you some recent result about pnc-Ge membrane. We have been thinking to replace Si with Ge for a long time to see whether we can transfer pore formation to another materials other than silicon. In this post, I’m gonna show you some exciting pnc-Ge membrane images! The fabrication process…
