Introduction After completing my experiments on burst pressure of HD membranes, I started the experiments on finding the burst pressure of 3-channel nitrite chips by using the airgas cylinder. This experiment is to investigate if soaking in viscous fluid will significantly weaken the membrane and lead to burst. The chip was placed on the center…

Introduction PncSi membranes are used in the development of wearable hemodialysis (HD) device that provides with high toxin clearance rate for end-stage renal disease patients. Chips with 11 channels and a flow rate at 45 uL/min per channel were used in rat HD tests; these membranes, however, broke were not strong enough to sustain long…
