3DChipModel.mph I’ve created a 3D model for our flow chips. It should work between classroom licenses, but in the event it does not I will post a set of step by step instructions to create this model. The model is currently set to do 2 micron slits, with 12 micron lengths (10micron + two caps)….
I submitted a proposal last week with Tom & I as co-PI’s to NSF’s Process Reaction Engineering division in CBET. Novel Catalytic Membrane Reactor Based on Ultra-thin Palladium Film Supported on Nano-structured Inorganic Membrane I’m attaching the intro. paragraph and a couple of the figures to give a general idea of what the proposal is…
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…
The purpose of this post is to start a general discussion around the idea of using ultrathin silicon-based membranes and graphene oxide to improve Extracorporeal Liver Support, also called Artificial Liver Support (ALS) for patients with acute liver failure (ALF). What is Extracorporeal Liver Support? This is essentially the equivalent of renal dialysis for the liver….
During the recent visit of Greg Madeijski to our Institute of Biophysics, Imaging & Optical Science (IBIOS) here in Nottingham we had the opportunity to try imaging cultures of cells on several nanoporous membranes, including CytoVu’s and also the unsupported TEM grids without SiN. Here is a short summary of our adventures, along with some…
The relationship between the inlet and exit concentrations in a single pass over a membranes can be derived assuming first order loss to the membrane … (1) where is the local bulk concentration above the membrane and is the ‘elimination rate constant,’ a concept also used in drug delivery. this integrates across the membrane…
