HBSS Components – trial 2
In these discoloration tests, I looked at the components of HBSS. HBSS consists of NaCl, KCl, 0.048 mg/mL Na2HPO4, 0.06 mg/mL KH2PO4, glucose and 0.35 mg/mL NaHCO3. In a previous post, I showed that NaCl, KCl and glucose didn’t cause discoloration (previous post). So, I made HBSS from scratch and I combined the various phosphate…
Dialysis Rotation Project
Introduction Throughout my rotation, I have been working on the dialysis project with Alec. The goal was to set up a multi-pass system to analyze the membrane’s ability to separate different molecules in blood. The critical separation is between β2-microglobulin (12 kDa) and albumin (66 kDa) – β2-microglobulin is a large toxin that needs to…
100K Microcon wet-wet: Update
ByMike HEarlier in the week I retested the 100K microcons in our wet-wet EQ format. When I last ran them this way I calculated very little flow and very small permeability values. I noted that there was a rather large air pocket collecting on the underside of the membrane in the plastic support structure; most likely…
Updated Burst Pressures Picture
I only added coordinates on each data point.
Detergent Micelle Sizing and Zeta Potential
ByMike HThis is the first post I have made with respect to the project proposed by Mark Dumont of the department of Biochemistry and Biophysics. As a reminder of the scope of the project Mark has shown an interest in using our pnc-Si membranes to separate detergent from trans-membrane proteins during the process of preparing samples…
