Super useful conversions between volumes and lengths
- 1 m^3 = 1000 L
- 1 cm^3 = mL
- 1 mm^3 = uL
- 1 um^3 = fL
- 100 µm x 100 µm x 100 µm = 1 nL
- 100,000 nm^3 (50 nm tall cylinder with 50 nm diameter) = 0.1 aL

The Rate of Protein Binding to Surfaces
ByJimWhen we coat surfaces or particles with proteins we often wonder, ‘how long until the coating is done? ‘ In this 2009 paper we addressed the question directly. We soaked 100 nm polystyrene particles in 10% serum (about 6 mg/ml protein) for different periods of time, washed the particles to remove unbound protein, soluablized the…

Relationship(s) between Porosity, Pore Size, Pore Density and Interpore Spacing
ByJimOne of the more useful formulas for our materials is Equation 1 in Chung et al., 2014 Lab on a Chip 14:2456-68 Assuming uniformly distributed pores in a planar (i.e. ultrathin) membrane, the relationship between pore radius r, porosity p, and the average spacing between pores, Lp-p is: Where the porosity is a number between…
Large Pores Dominate Flow Through Nanomembranes (FOW)
ByJimBecause of the non-linear dependence of volumetric flow rate on pore size … where t is the membrane thickness and r is the pore radius, large pores contribute disproportionately to the total flow through a membrane than small pores. The magnitude of this phenomenon can be appreciated by using the Dagan equation to calculate the…
