Hello Everyone, So as you probably remember, we were able to show the capturing and releasing successfully. In addition, we have a Matlab Code now which helps us for intensity change, so as you can see in the next figure which is the analyzed data for videos at the top, it shows capturing gradually…
Fluorescent beads were employed to assess electroosmotic flow in various devices. The beads were 200 nm in size and were negatively charged (on account of being carboxylated polystyrene). These beads were suspended in a 0.2 mM K2HPO4 buffer. They were also incubated in 1% BSA solution in an attempt to reduce their surface charge, though…
-Intro The mechanobiology behind endothelial cells has been extensively studied in recent years. Shear stress as well as substrate stiffness have both been shown to influence endothelial cell signaling and morphology in vitro [1,2]. However, the combination effect of both shear stress and substrate stiffness on endothelial cell function has not been elucidated to date. Reinhart-King et…
This post is an accumulation of the results obtained from my research thus far. To recap, my intent (for my masters thesis) is to provide context for critical flux optimization in NPN microfluidic devices, particle capture, and compare critical flux in NPN to traditional track etched (TE) devices. Note that “critical flux” is the flux…
In collaboration with Alex Shestopalov’s lab, I started working on liquid based PEG treatment on windowed sepcon chips. The treatment is a 3-day long protocol and involves multiple washing and drying steps with different reagents. Most of our sepcon chips broke down in first few steps itself. The initial wash consists of Nanostrip (sulfuric plus nitric…
Background Details: Josh Miller & I have made some recent progress in the NPN LO work. We had several ø6″ wafers w/ 100 nm of thermal oxide processed by Rogue Valley, wherein they deposited 650 nm of poly-Si (LP-CDV) followed by 50 nm of low-stress SiN (LP-CVD). Josh added the a-Si + SiO2 layers at…
