Utilization and development of in vitro µSiM platforms to study Bacterial Invasion of the Osteocyte Lacuno-Canalicular Network – MPS World Summit 2024 Poster

Charles designed a macro for excel to represent the data gathered from wafer characterization, in a visual format. It is built on VB platform and runs off Microsoft excel. The data is input in a simple fashion by selecting the relevant field from a drop down box for columns representing different positions (see fig. 1)….

I am working with different electrode materials as a substitute for ITO for my TEER measurement device. I used silver-silver chloride electrode and platinum-iridium ribbon (90:10) for that purpose. I made AgCl electrode by dipping about an inch of silver wire in silver chloride ink and letting it dry for half hour. I obtained the…

Overview The main aim of my rotation in the McGrath lab was to design a new 6-plex  two-channel μSiM platform. Currently, individual two-channel μSiM platforms are used for tissue-on-a-chip experiments. Expanding the current two-channel single (1-plex) platform to a two-channel 6-plex setup will increase experiment throughput and efficiency, as well as provide a starting point…

In this post I look at our membrane resistance and compare it to the best performing alumina membrane. Here is the resistance figure I made for the paper: This figure shows the device resistance with and without a membrane.  The membrane resistance would be the difference between the white and grey bars.  We would like…

Last week I reported that carbonization can shrink pores.  This week I was able to completely occlude the pores with a change in the process recipe.  Instead of cutting off the acetylene flow before the thermal treatment, I kept the gas on for the entire process.  What resulted was a complete occlusion of the pores….
