Within the past few weeks we have been working on finalizing an architecture for PETL dialysis that can be cut out, assembled, and disassembled repetitively with precision. Within the past week we were able to replicate the results Kilean achieved…

I know this is my third post today, but this is not a data post. It’s more of a PSA. If you want to add beautiful equations into your post (like I did here) then rather than generating a bunch…

This data is from about a month ago and it something that Jim has been asking me to put up, so here it finally is. When Tejas runs his experiments, he usually leaves me the last mL of blood that…

Last summer, Tejas and I spent a few days beating our heads against the wall because I was trying to develop a mathematical model of particle capture. Specifically, I was trying to understand what amount of transmembrane pressure we would…

Summary I want to imitate the material properties from 1085 as they have given us the best SERS performance to date. We have the best information that we’ve ever had before imitating the nanostructure and nanotopology from the MgF2. Our…

Hello Everyone, As you probably remember, We have been working on optimizing Track Etched membranes devices since last semester, these membranes are 80 nm pore size and our beads are 100 nm in. We have been working on the design to…

This post is a recap on the nanosphere lithography based membrane patterning process. The results shown here are from a non-optimized run of the process. The image below shows an overview of the fabrication process used.   Below you can…

In previous experiments attempting to culture ADSC on non-porous and porous (0.5 µm, 3.0 µm) SiO2 membranes, we were having difficulty getting the ADSC to attach to the membranes. A majority of the ADSC did not appear well-spread. While in…

Hi all, Recently we finished drafting the manuscript titled “Porous substrates promote early endothelial migration at the expense of fibronectin fibrillogenesis.” This manuscript will feature the cover illustrated by Brad (our new medical illustrator in the Gaborski Lab):   Long…

We are happy to be back this summer. Anthony has been working on setting up a system that mimics Kilean’s dialysis devices. Our approach is different in two important ways. First, we are using PETLs, instead of PDMS/glass.  For those…
