  • EXPANDABLE CELL CULTURE SUBSTRATE
    Publication number: 20190241849
    Abstract: Expandable cell culture substrates are provided that allow continual expansion of adherent stem cells without the need to passage cells, thereby preserving health and stem cell characteristics. The expandable cell culture substrates can include various three-dimensional structures having various coupling mechanisms that allow the structures to be joined, including where the structures are configured as interlocking blocks made from a variety of materials. The three-dimensional structures can include various coupling points, such as protrusions and opposing indentions, to allow for interlocking of the structures in the x-, y-, and z-axial directions. As a cell culture reaches a particular density, additional units can be added to increase the surface area of the expandable cell culture substrate.

  • HERMETICALLY SEALED MOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY CELL WITH DUAL WAFER BONDING
    Publication number: 20190084271
    Abstract: A method includes forming a plurality of layers of an oxide and a metal on a substrate. For example, the layers may include a metal layer sandwiched between silicon oxide layers. A non-conductive structure such as glass is then bonded to one of the oxide layers. An antenna can then be patterned on the non-conductive structure, and a cavity can be created in the substrate. Another metal layer is deposited on the surface of the cavity, and an iris is patterned in the metal layer to expose the one of the oxide layers. Another metal layer is formed on a second substrate and the two substrates are bonded together to thereby seal the cavity.
