Spec, gels, send to Jeff B. Shipping? † COBRA Mark- Control circuit - This will be done by January. Evap quantification experiments ongoing. Still working on live/dead assay. (JD, JZ) Substrates (JZ) DOE for the experiment. Colloid experiment. inconclusive. Look at SEMs † Valve Array/Valve building (FJ) Turn over platform to Teddy † Fraunhofer: LOAC So close! † Biointerfaces group E. Coli experiments with fluorescence. Strobe experiments? Jason cannot do them, perhaps MCK can. MCK will talk to Jason this week. † CIMIT- Colson Grant First pages of first IRB started last week. Target date 1/1/09 STAR-CD Renewal - January ($2K) † PCR Improve the gel concentration 1.2% agarose. See if you can separate out primer dimers. UPDATE? Look into Melting temp analysis on the 7300 - Done. what is contaminated? Only 1/5 chips are good at the hot embossing step. The vaccum chuck will be checked and o-rings changed - helped a bit. ON HOLD * Fixuture for PCR chip. The heater and the thermocouples would be on the fixture. ON HOLD Try microscope for looking a fluor. 52, 60, 65 C repeats. † RCA Cathie submitted One pager Whitepaper. Waiting for response. † Senior project † F31: Cochlea Paper submitted. set up adviser meeting Jan † Silica Optimization (Lambda): inhibition infor to Paul. Replot the data so I can read it.
