19 February 2009 Lab Meeting Agenda
† Announcements † Flu R01 † SEPSIS Project †RNA project
 * Status: compressed air and vacuum. Happening NOW.
 * MicroTAS abstracts.
 * Modified Schedule this week.
 * Plaque Assay.
 * Submitted to Integrative Biology.
 * Samples Sent?
 * New proposal with Fraunhofer for food.

† COBRA - Direct measurement with engineered SERS substrate. - Try glass fixture. - - - Do Rhodamine. -Need a size specific positive control. PS beads? charged? † Valve Array/Valve building. † Fraunhofer: LOAC † Biointerfaces group † CIMIT- Colson Grant † PCR † RCA † HDA † Senior project † F31: Cochlea
 * Mark- Control circuit - done, need to be tested.
 * Integration test from here forward.
 * Test with engineered SERS substrates
 * Flu Concentration and Cleaning. Kit, UCentrifuge, Quote from Beckmann.
 * Substrates (JZ)
 * Colloid experiment.
 * Parts missing. Check with Susan.
 * Writing a new control interface.
 * Paper drafting!
 * Final experiments were done.
 * counting the number of trapped cells
 * adding experimental results in the draft paper.
 * adding experimental results in the draft paper.
 * IRB still in revision.
 * surface coating of zeonex, looking for an effective way to verify the PEG layer
 * tried contact angle, device is still broken
 * SEM showed no pattern on the plain zeonex without plasma treatment
 * XPS?
 * detect roughness with zygo
 * Simulaons of DNA chain model are running (60 beads).
 * Cathie submitted One pager Whitepaper. Waiting for response.
 * Large volume filling and valve tested.
 * Design issue - whole integration or assemble parts (SPE & HDA chamber)
 * Megan
 * Cutter plotter for fast prototype.
 * Need to get back in cleanroom. Hussam? Get 3" wafers from MCK.
 * Nathan out this week.

† Silica Optimization (Lambda):
 * Overview to look at the data collectively


 * Next E. coli.


 * try another color DNA dye.


 * UPDATE The invitrogen Nucleic Acid Stains Dimer Sampler Kit was ordered on Tuesday
