26 May 2009 Lab Meeting † Announcements SIGN UP FOR NEW LAB DUTIES WITH SONALI. Please answer my safety emails. PDMS Fixture holder - make more at machine shop. Vacuum chamber needs a new gasket. MicroTAS Abstracts accepted. Papers due June 30th. † Flu R01 RNA extraction troubleshooting. Mass Spec of elution? In Chemistry.- We should approach them. Bioanalyzer not working.. why? LOD - Serially dilute our samples and look to see if we can see it when we dilute the contaminants and the DNA/RNA: DID NOT SEE ANYTHING. Absolute Quantification assays: TH this week. FTIR-ATR look at the eluant? There are some organics in the eluant. Restrict the range. Align the laser. † Coulter Flu Fraunhofer Project Fraun folks coming to get trained next week. RNA isolation. IBC for Fraun flu. in process. † SEPSIS Project Revision submitted 5/20. †RNA project Jeff visiting week of June 1st † COBRA Test with sol-gel substrate w/o bacteria (26th) Evap system (JD and JZ) Let's get this to a point where we can publish and move on paper 1: Evap with Sol Gel substrate. paper 2: Covap with PMA, Rhodamine, PS beads?...virus...? † Virus concentration † Valve Array Teddy will train Alex. JD. when he back from vacation. † Fraunhofer: LOAC Paper revised. Bonding ongoing with MIT folks † Biointerfaces group Final draft with collaborators. Herringbone masks made. investigate the stability under different Peclet numbers (ratio of hydrodynamic force and Brownian force). † CIMIT- Colson Grant IRB still in revision. † PCR PCR 2 paper draft. will develop large scale particle modeling in full PCR model (30 PCR cycles or 20 PCR cycles) † RCA/HDA Integrated chip worked(19th) 3 more chips are tested when Sonali back(28th Thu). Valve characterization needed † Silica Optimization (Lambda): Run single PCR product from QQ or Sonali the test with the bioanalyzer
