Work Space, Storage, Advisors

  • Lab Space:

– Construction of system: 13-5032 – Anodizing: Professor Sadoway’s lab – Bacteria culture: 68-074 – Running water sample: 68-074

  • Refrigerator for bacterial culture:

– Undergraduate lab: Building 8

  • Outside Contacts:

– Michelle Mischke: Bacteria testing and culture – Professor Sadoway: Anodizing

V = E · d d = V / E = (25V) / (1–5 × 105 V/m) = 50 – 250 µm Size of eukaryotic cell ~ 100 µm

Result

Conclusion:

  • Leakage from inlet/outlet
  • Pressure required for flow is very low
  • Water flows through the entire volume within

system

Water Dielectric Breakdown

  • Concern was raised regarding water

dielectric breakdown and possible dangers associated with it.

  • Solution: IT WON’T BE A PROBLEM

– Water Dielectric Breakdown = 200~300kV/cm – Breakdown Potential for Cell Lysis: 1~5kV/cm – We are aiming at 5kV/cm<<200kV/cm

Protocol for Bacteria Testing

  • Bacteria:

– E.Coli stock culture – Bacteria concentration: 5cfu/mL

  • Highest count in Charles River: ~5cfu/mL
  • Water Sample Preparation:

– 5mL culture + 35mL distilled water – Stock bacteria concentration: 40cfu/mL

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Experiment

  • Bacteria concentration quantification before

and after each run

  • Spectrophotometer measurement

– Blank: 5mL LB broth + 35mL distilled water – Using Beer’s Law, we will find bacteria concentration [ A = εcl ] – Decrease in concentration = Indication of cell lysis.

Work in Progress

  • Anodizing Titanium

– Consulting Professor Sadoway

  • Polarizing Stainless Steel and Ti

– Observe electrode reaction with H2O (corrosion).

  • Growing bacteria culture
  • Testing
