I had a good talk with Koch yesterday about my salad dressing project, and he pointed me in the direction of some good ideas. I'm hoping to work through all of them today and tomorrow to let them gel over the weekend. He pointed out that one lab group, Weitz over at Harvard, where able to isolate enzymes and essentially run a PCR in a droplet. Really cool stuff, so I'm going to look up what they did to see if I can apply their idea to the ferritin. Another idea was one that he was working on while at Sandia, using vitrotubes with microtubules, and see if it would work. I'm also going to look into what I can expect if I magnetize a piece of wire, or a needle and put it directly into a flow cell. | |||
==Non-Spherical Droplets== | |||
The first paper that I found and my spring board is "Droplet Microfluidics for Fabrication of Non-Spherical Particle" by Shum et al out of the Weitz lab. The paper was motivated by the desire to find a way to create colloidal scale droplets that did not have a spherical shape, which is the most common due to surface tension's strong tendency to form spheres. | |||
