In determining an appropriate animal model for hemodialysis efficacy, several metrics need to be compared to the human vasculature. Blood volume, blood pressure, and heart rate could effect the suitability of these animals to model clinical hemodialysis. Blood volume can…

High Temperature Sepcon Holder Concept
For the upcoming tests I have planned for H2 purification, I need a fixture to hold the pnc-Si membranes (Sepcon format) that is compatible with operation up to 500 C. No polymers are going to work. I describe the approach…

Scanning ion conductance microscopy of cells on TEM grids (pnc-Si, not annealed)
Palladium membrane hydrogen purifier
I have been talking with JP about getting some pnc-Si membranes coated with ~10-20 nm layers of Pd (or Pd-Ag) to do preliminary tests on hydrogen permeation devices. Tom and I are thinking of submitting a proposal. This kind of…

Clearance, Kt/V, and Concentration in a Reverse Flow Dialyser
Instantaneous Clearance: Kd CBi, and CBo are the concentration of solute in the blood at the input and output of the dialyser. CDi and CDo are the concentration of solute in the dialysate at the input and output. QBi, QBo,…
