May 29th 2009 sub-group meeting
Jiankang He:
· Present the revised outline
· Visualization of concentration gradient
· Investigate the drying effects, XPS, topography. Mechanical properties
· Cell adhesion and proliferation of SMC on the composite chitosan-gelatin materials
Suggestion:
· Investigate the length of the tube to connect the pump
· Choose more volumes to study the effects of flow rate on the injection-withdrawing
· Photo-bleaching problem when capturing two color images
· Figure out the time-line of the project
Masoud and BC
· Present the revised paper
· Focus on right angel geometry of the side-groove channel
· Particle modeling
· Clarify the goal as: ‘Put fewer cells into specific position’
· Investigate the effects of the post to change the flow profile
Suggestion:
· Can you investigate the thickness of the channel (top-channel) to see the effects of the flow profile?
· How significant of the difference between the poles and without poles;
· Present more data for asking the right question
· Add the depth for each figures, do systematic investigation by changing parameters
Wongu and sim
· Present the progress of evaluation and characterization of microvalves and micromixer
· Novelty of the paper: combination of mixing and multiplexing in three-layer system
Suggestion:
· Try more types of florescence dyes to show the mixing effects
· Try to replace ethanol with PBS to reduce the FITC aggregation
· Clarify the novelty of the paper
· Come out publishable figures from the results.
· Plan to deliver difference concentrations to the specific position
Seda
· Present the progress of the project
Suggestion:
· Seeding cells into microstructure directly without waiting
· Change different parameters
· Get the Cardiomyocytes
