POINT OF CARE CHIPS MADE FROM SHRINKABLE POLYMER WITH CRAFT CUTTER

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 我们在LFD中的项目包括使用分光光度计来分析聚烯烃的光传输。我们担心，在芯片生产的其中一个步骤中，通过加热收缩我们的聚合物，它将变得太不透明，无法用于预期的应用。我们想测试不同的协议，以确定是否有一种协议减少了不透明度。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Our project in the LFD involves using the spectrophotometer to analyze the light transmission through polyolefin. We are concerned that during one of the steps in the production of our chips, shrinking our polymer through heating, that it will become too opaque to be used in the expected applications. We would like to test different protocols to determine if one reduces the opacity.
