1236 npMgF2 Temp Series structural comparisons to 1085 npMgF2

I have created a successfully sealed flow chamber with this current device (V2.4), with the caveat that I sealed off the top chamber and was unable to test leaking from the top to the bottom. Again, the dialysis chips from Dean’s work were used, as well as the same bulk microscope slide electrodes.   Improvements…

This is a quick post on comparing the contact angle after ALD on pnc-Si with aluminum oxide vs the untreated material (+/- ozone). The hypothesis is that the angle should drop since Al2O3 is hygroscopic. The angles are 85°, 45°, 61°, and 50° for the untreated, ozone, Al2O3, and Al2O3 and ozone case, respectively. These…

In my last post I reported findings that the bottom well of a CytoVu assembly is capable of adsorbing protein at about 0.03 ug/mL, or 0.75ng of protein. This is a fairly small value, but for the purposes of a sensitive separation such as the FLAG tests that I’ve been working on, it can be…

UPDATED: More sizing characterization (see chart and figure below). We recently purchased our own gold ladder, and today I’ve done some of the initial characterization.  Particles come in 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40nm.  Here are the absorbance scans in both water and 10mM KCl: The scans look similar, so none of these particles…
