Instantaneous Clearance per unit area – Animal Study
We’ve calculated our instantaneous clearance numbers for the benchtop studies that use sepcon chips. Even calculating per unit area, our chips are not clearing much volume in these experiments. I believe this is due to the very low flow rate (1 µL/min). Kayli is starting experiments to use higher flow rates with the same chips…
Protochips E-Chips
ByJimThe company Protochips is making interesting microfluidic chips and systems for electron microscopy. See this page and this movie. Note their use of integrated spacers as thin as 150 nm to create a flow channel between back-to-back membrane chips. This not only relates to our work with Vincent in Ottawa, perhaps it gives us new…
Modeling EOF and Electric Field Gradient at a Microporous Membrane
I used COMSOL for finite element analysis (FEA) modeling of EOF and DEP at a microporous membrane in a PDMS microfluidic channel. Effects of two parameters were determined: Membrane thickness, and spacing between pores. The modeled membranes had a 25×25 um surface, and a thickness of either 100 nm or 500 nm. Pore diameter was…
Mini peristaltic pump for Wearable HD: power and battery life
Power and battery life for wearable hemodialysis. The pump(s) will consume the most energy of all the components of the system. Other power consumers could include, control circuits, wireless communication, display and warning lights, depending on design. A continuous display could consume a great deal of power if not handled correctly. LEDs and LCD indicators…

Palladium membrane hydrogen purifier
I have been talking with JP about getting some pnc-Si membranes coated with ~10-20 nm layers of Pd (or Pd-Ag) to do preliminary tests on hydrogen permeation devices. Tom and I are thinking of submitting a proposal. This kind of technology has been used industrially and follows the general principle shown below: These operate at…
