Two high school students, Nick and Nikita, were supervised to study the effects our Sepcon membranes had on potential charge based separations. Using standard 30 nm cutoff Sepcons and the pressure cell, they performed a set of experiments with high (1 M) and low concentration (100 mM) KCl. They measured the conductivity of the filtrate…
To this point, I have shown that our membranes are stable with the use of INT’s developer over time. I have also shown that their developer has statistically similar flow properties to that of water, and is a viable option to pass through our membranes. This post will discuss the possibility of using their unique…
This experiment compares the metal developer used in Integrated Nano Technologies’ device to to the flow properties of water. Using the pressure cell at 3 psi, with no allyl treatment, for 10 minutes, and 200 microliters of liquid, I pushed water and developer through our membranes and examined the difference in flow rates. All of…
This post relates to the ongoing project and potential grant between Integrated Nano-Technologies, Simpore, and NRG. The goal of my research is to show that our membranes can be integrated into Nano-Technologies’ device. Our membranes must be able to filter out or hold back large debris that can cause false positives in their device, while…
