21 January 2010 Lab Meeting

Mincheol Presentation.

‡ Announcements

  • The safety inspection will happen next Wed at 1PM. Lab members PLEASE pitch in with Hussam and Jane and Jessie to prepare the lab according to the items on the inspection list after today's lab meeting?
  • Oakridge deadline is 1 Feb 2010. Have one from QQ- Anyone else?
  • Shichu Huang will be joining us in Feb.


‡ Flu R01:Integration

  • meetings every other M 1-3pm. 705.

† HDA (Lead: Jaephil, Team:Sonali)

  • Start planning R01 for Submission on 6/5/10. MM, JD, CMK.
  • Dry reagent storage for RT and HDA - COP test well array provided to Sonali
  • 2nd HDA design - include RT, dry reagent, reduced evap loss, and parallel filling, etc
  • Paper PUBLISHED online 1/12/10!
  • "prototyping - scratch" SUBMITTED "Special Issue of the Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing Journal"


† Sample Concentration (Lead: Jane, Team: Jaephil)

  • New design sent to make Rubber mold: outline octagon problem. Revised design sent yesterday.
    • MM 040808 A/PR/8/34 flu stock with PFU = 2X10^4 available to Jane to train Cassidy in ultracentrifuging all tubes
    • of virus, pour out sucrose,pipette remaining with 20uL pipette tip and pool for plaque assay for supplying virus
  • Jane working on the cell lysate control. - have many tubes now, done
  • Set up COMSOL and StarCD, look for governing equations for simulation of evaporation. Ongoing

† SPE Column Optimization for DNA/RNA. (Lead: Sonali, Team: Hussam, Jessie, Brendan)

  • Sonali put out a new RNA protocol before break.
  • Switching from lambda phage DNA to TaqMan RNase P detection [update]
  • Hussam Runs chip with RNA (confirm procedure is correct) [update]


† PCR - CMI (Lead: Qingqing)

  • QQ will work on the initial integration steps of SPE + RT (reservoir)+ PCR.
  • SPE+RT+PCR chip is designed. (status?)
  • PCR of C.Difficile DNA
  • Meeting today at 3:30pm
  • Toxin A.
  • HDA dilution experiments for toxin A has been tested in tube. The products has been tested in Bio-analyzer. 1pg is the limitation for the template, in order to get a detectable result.
