DNA Permeability of SiMPore Filters is Tunable by Changing Ionic Strength
Our setup copied Jess’s well in a Teflon block. The chips (SCO21) sat over the well filled with 50 ml buffered (pH ~ 6.0) NaCl solution. On top of the well Paul placed a 20 ml drop of the same solution with DNA ladder added. Two types of ladder were used, referred to as a…
Upping the ante
I guess we weren’t sure if I was actually drawing rhodamine back through the membrane or just bleaching it. So I made a new apparatus which consisted of a sawed off sepcon mounted on a slide with channels etched into the lower plastic of the device to connect a pbs resevoir on the slide to…
Membrane Anneal Study: W510X, W600 Testing
I recently tested W510X and W600 described by Dave here for air permeability, rhodamine diffusion, and burst pressure. No air permeability was observed; even a sample with one very small pinhole (W600 800C anneal) only had a permeability of 11 cc/atm*cm2*s. To verify the lack of pores I performed rhodamine diffusion on the W600 700C…
Counter Flow Dialysis Device Design
Upper and lower gaskets used to make a counter flow device. The danger is that the enclosing pdms can easily flex into the membranes on the flat side of the chip. A hard plastic cover can be used to prevent accidental contact between the PDMS and membrane.
Roundness
Roundness vs. Equivalent Diameter plots for five eccentric wafers: There really doesn’t seem to be a correlation between equivalent diameter and roundness. However, there does appear to be a rough downward trend in SC 016 and SC 258. Mean Roundness vs. Wafer Number graph with error bars included: Without the error bars, it looked like…
Life Expectancy Trend of ESRD Patients Treated with Dialysis (1995-2013)
Introduction Over the past two decades there has been little to no improvement in treatment for people who have end stage renal disease (ESRD). The two main methods of treatment for ESRD are kidney transplant or dialysis. However, due to the limitations involved with transplantation, the majority of patients receive dialysis. It has been speculated…
