Using wafer 302 I set up 2 20nm and 2 50nm gold diffusion experiments. After 24 hrs I removed the retentate and filtrate and looked for the gold using the Malvern Zetasizer. We can’t perform the diffusion with both 20nm and 50nm gold because the Zetasizer cannot differentiate between the two sizes. r value Sample…

I’ve been attempting to simulate protein sieving using the COMSOL model.  This first figure shows the comparison of the simulated separations to the actual results as determined by gel densitometry. The simulated separations tend to lag behind the experimental data for smaller proteins.  This is surprising since the simulation is faster than experimental results for…

Paper can be found here I am working on developing an analytical model to understand how to accurately post-process the resistance values I obtain from my TEER measurements. This paper addresses a similar issue and comes up with a correction factor to match the TEER values obtained in a microsystem with the ones obtained from a…

UPDATED: More sizing characterization (see chart and figure below). We recently purchased our own gold ladder, and today I’ve done some of the initial characterization.  Particles come in 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40nm.  Here are the absorbance scans in both water and 10mM KCl: The scans look similar, so none of these particles…

Kelly & I finally succeeded in getting a measurement of the SU-8 scaffold change in size upon liftoff.  Kelly, lifted off a sample (~0.5 x 2 cm) using the XeF2 dry etch and transferred the sample to a glass slide with pdms bonded to it. The slide was then placed on top of the printed…
