14 October 2008 Lab Meeting Agenda

† MinCheol's research report today.

† Announcements

  • JZ and JD out this week at mTAS.


† Flu R01

  • TO DO More sample back? Can we put in 1.5 ml saline, collect in 3ml VTM tube directly? YES. Cathie will amend.
  • Plaque assay status?
  • TO DO Cathie STILL STILL has to submit the progress report to INSPIR.


† SEPSIS Project - CIMIT Bird Flu

  • B sub in blood is done. Lets talk about comepleting the gram positive plots so they "match."
  • SEM image analysis of pore size. DONE. Thanks JZ
  • Run E. coli RT-PCR using primers for a genomic target.
  • Report DNA amounts along with the RT-PCR data for the Sepsis paper.


†RNA project

  • Jeff Braman will visit in early Dec.

  • Do dilutions. Send to Bioanalyzer.

† COBRA

  • Mark finish control circuit
  • Fluorescence microscopy available from 720. Try beads experiment. DONE.
  • Bacteria Experiment?
  • Jane, Cathie, Larry, Ranjith met Friday. JZ will try process with modified washes.


† Valve Array/Valve building (FJ)

  • Waiting for fixture still from Melissa. Hopefully this week. UPDATE?
  • 9 Oct Shane says schematics are completed and would be emailed "right away". Have not received anything. Will contact 14 Oct to figure out why.


† Fraunhofer: LOAC

  • Update?
  • Alex working on more toluene bonding issues.
  • Try Ticona material. (HM, JD, AG)
  • Still Still Still troubleshooting ??


† Biointerfaces group
