Regardless, dead-end filters are used ubiquitously in clinical setting for diagnostic and therapeutic applications ranging from tissue engineering to infectious agent identification and stratification. Flow control has been shown to improve filter flux capacity over time, but no comprehensive breakdown of its waveform analysis has been performed and applied across the board. The central hypothesis of the proposed research is that pulse width modulation of fluid velocity can be used to periodically backflush dead-end membranes to interrupt cake formation, reintegrate fouling layers into the bulk of a sample, and improve permeate flux and recovery percentage. This will inform the design of fluid control dynamics for diagnostic as well as therapeutic application in Cystic Fibrosis, blood fractionation, and scaffold seeding. The effects of varying duty cycle to improve targeted permeate recovery percentage or retentate purity will be assessed through these applications.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EBioE PhD Proposal Presentation-\u0026nbsp; \u003Cstrong\u003EPulse Width Modulated Periodic Backflush to Improve Dead-End Filtration for Label-Free, Size-Based Sorting -\u003C\/strong\u003EAaron Enten\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Pulse Width Modulated Periodic Backflush to Improve Dead-End Filtration for Label-Free, Size-Based Sorting\u0022"}],"uid":"27917","created_gmt":"2018-01-19 13:21:54","changed_gmt":"2018-01-19 13:21:54","author":"Laura Paige","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-01-31T13:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2018-01-31T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-01-31T15:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-01-31 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-01-31 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-01-31 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"65448","name":"Bioengineering Graduate Program"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ELaura Paige\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E404-385-6655\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
