MML Video Gallery

The following videos detail combinatorial library fabrication techniques, and high-throughput measurement methods developed at the NIST Combinatorial Methods Center. The videos were produced by the NCMC as part of its 15th industry workshop on combi techniques, a webinar conducted on April 20-21, 2009.

The MSEL Postdoctoral Experience

 
A brief description of the exciting opportunities for post doctoral research in the NIST Material Measurement Materials Science & Engineering Laboratory (MSEL) [Now part of the Material Measurement Laboratory (MML) ] scientist working with scaffold library

 

Associated Project: 3D Tissue Scaffolds

Hydrogel Scaffold Library

 
This is a demonstration of how to make combinatorial polymer scaffold libraries for rapid scientist working with scaffold libraryscreening of cell-material interactions in 3D. This approach will help accelerate the developmentof new devices for tissue engineering applications.

Probe Tack Measurements of Combinatorial Libraries
Adhesion is a measure of how strongly two objects stick together, and depends on a number Probe Tack Measurement Toolof things, such as temperature or how rough the surfaces are. At the NIST Combinatorial Methods Center, we have developed measurement tools that rapidly screen many of thesfactors in a single sample. This type of approach is extremely valuable to industry since iteenables them to bring innovate new products to market faster.

Gradient Combinatorial Libraries via Modulated Light Exposure

 
UV light can be used to cure a range of materials, from adhesives to coatings to dental analyzing slidematerials. At the NIST Combinatorial Methods Center, we have developed tools that allow us to screen a material's response as a function of UV exposure. In most cases, short exposure leads to incomplete cure of the material, whereas long exposure leads to the material being brittle or discolored. Thus, a method for finding the optimum UV exposure is extremely valuable.
