The present technology provides micro fabricated filtration devices, methods of making such devices, and uses for microfabricated filtration devices. The devices may allow diffusion to occur between two fluids with improved transport resistance characteristics as compared to conventional filtration devices. The devices may include a compound structure that includes a porous membrane overlying a support structure. The support structure may define a cavity and a plurality of recesses formed in a way that can allow modified convective flow of a first fluid to provide improved diffusive transport between the first fluid and a second fluid through the membrane.

Low resistance microfabricated filter

The present invention relates to ultrafiltration. In particular, the present invention provides nanoporous membranes having pores for generating in vitro and in vivo ultrafiltrate, devices and bioartificial organs utilizing such nanoporous membranes, and related methods (e.g., diagnostic methods, research methods, drug screening). The present invention further provides nanoporous membranes configured to avoid protein fouling with, for example, a polyethylene glycol surface coating.

Ultrafiltration membrane device, bioartificial organ, and related methods

A micro mirror array including an upper wafer portion having a plurality of movable reflective surfaces located thereon, the upper wafer portion defining a coverage area in top view. The array further includes a lower wafer portion located generally below and coupled to the upper wafer portion. The lower wafer portion includes at least one connection site located thereon, the at least one connection site being electrically or operatively coupled to at least one component which can control the movement of at least one of the reflective surfaces. The at least one connection site is not generally located within the coverage area of the upper wafer portion.
