In order to resolve the silicon nitride- silicone gasket bonding issue, I, Josh, Tucker and Greg used different approaches to functionalize the nanoporous nitride (NPN) surface. Both surfaces of NPN, although have same material (silicon nitride), behave differently. The flat side is etched using xenon fluoride to remove pncSi layer on top. Different tools at…
Samples of pnc-Si, 5.5 mm x 5.5 mm, were functionalized at Adarza and incubated with fluorescein conjugated BSA. Wells were formed in PDMS to hole fluid above the samples. Samples were wetted with PBS then f-BSA, 5 mg/mL, was added. The samples were placed in petri dishes with DI water soaked Kim wipes; the petri…
SEPPUR-D-16-00198 Abstract Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were composed of imidazole functionalized graphene oxide (ImGO), a CO2-philic nano-sheet inorganic material, and poly(ether-b-amide) (PEBAX) for CO2 capture. MMM doped with 0.8 wt.% ImGO exhibits the best CO2 separation performance, which shows the CO2/N2 selectivity up to 105.5 combined with CO2 permeability of 76.2 Barrer (1 Barrer=10-10∙cm3(STP)∙cm-1∙cm-2∙s-1∙cmHg-1), surpassing…
Starting in December of 2019, we began capturing fluorescent beads on microslit silicon nanomembranes as an illustrative representation of particle capture within our microfluidic devices. From then until now we have successfully used this method within gasket made TFAC devices and uSiM ALine devices using a range of micropore sizes/shapes and bead sizes. These experiments…
Hey all, So, I’ve been trying to replicate the exosome experiments that I did back during my rotation to varied success. I have had trouble with the plasma that we had frozen with precipitates that would not resuspend upon thawing. We ordered new plasma though so fresh batches of experiments will be coming up very…
It took me a little while to figure out how to turn the .avi file into a .gif, but here is an image of the diffusion through 501. Due to a problem with MatLab, it took about 5min before I started taking images of the diffusion. So this starts at ~5 min after the 100mM…
