AFM Scans of Coated, Annealed TEM Windows
AFM images report Protocol: pnc-Si TEM grids were mounted on thin silicone inserts. Surface treatments were applied to the grids. Except for the CellTak treatment, the treatments were all diluted in Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) and incubated with grids for 2 hours and then washed off with PBS. CellTak was diluted in 0.1 M…
concentration curve for PBS + Rhodamine
I mixed made solutions of PBS and Rhodamine with varying Rhodamine concentrations and ran them through the spectrometer. Below is the concentration vs absorption curve I made from it. I blanked the spec with PBS instead of ddH2O since the solution is in PBS. The slope is almost double for Rhodamine in ddH2O compared to…
Plasma oxidation of Si membrane
ByJimAs Jim suggested, we are not only going to reproduce what Chris and Tom did in the Nature paper but also trying to test the charge screening effect based on different salt concentrations. To do such experiments, we need to charge our Si membrane and at the same time oxidize it. At the end of…
PDMS-filled wells don't increase sensitivity for HMM detection
This post is related to the HIV drug screening project that Carrie has been working on. To refresh everyone’s memory, the aim of this project is to use pnc-Si as a filter to separate high molecular mass (HMM) protein-RNA complexes from smaller protein monomers/multimers. Small molecules that break down the HMM form of this protein…
Journal Club – Oo et al, 2016 – A nanoporous gold membrane for sensing applications
Paper: Oo2016 Supplementary Info:Oo2016SI Abstract: Design and fabrication of three-dimensionally structured, gold membranes containing hexagonally close-packed microcavities with nanopores in the base, are described. Our aim is to create a nanoporous structure with localized enhancement of the fluorescence or Raman scattering at, and in the nanopore when excited with light of approximately 600 nm, with a view…
Discoloration – Sepcon pieces
Since we’ve been noticing slower discoloration in the Sepcon format, I looked at the 2 components of Sepcons – the plastic and the O-ring. Specifically, I cut pieces from w622 and incubated them in FBS-DMEM/F12 either alone, with the Sepcon plastic or with an O-ring. This was in the oven, and the chips were membrane…

There is a method for direct determination of mass within the optical path which may be valuable here, and produces interference fringes similar to what i can already see in your images:

When Greg is in Nottingham later in the year we can make a pilgrimage to a colleagues scope in Glasgow and quantify this directly, if you haven’t cracked it already by then 🙂
