NRG this coming Tuesday, October 20th, will be dedicated to reviewing progress to-date on our joint NSF-sponsored Phase 1 STTR project. Here is the agenda. • Jamie: Project overview and commercialization aspects • Josh, Bob and Elizabeth: Lift-off of nanoporous silicon nitride • JP: Development of thicker NPN • Tucker: Fluidics and dialyzer devices…
These chips were 2.9 mm TEM grid with a single 25 um window. 20 nm thick NPN is covered with 100 nm TEOS with a 2 um opening to expose ~1000 pores. Wafer number 2176. Following are IV curve analyses for the above material as well as membranes treated with ALD alumina. These were measured…
During our meeting with Vincent Tabard-Cossa from U Ottawa, we are going to explore the concept of using nano porous silicon nitride membranes in electronic detection schemes for identifying nucleic acid:small molecule complexes. The concept was demonstrated by Wanunu et al, Nano Letters, 2011, where they showed single nanopores were able to detect complexes of…
On May 13, Jim McGrath and I are hosting Vincent Tabard-Cossa from the University of Ottawa. We will be interacting with Vincent as a sort of NRG mini-retreat day. See the information below.
