Data to Support Photoconductive Arrays on Insulating Substrates for High-Field Terahertz Generation
Get PDFThe data included in this repository supports our work on the design, fabrication and characterisation of large-area photoconductive THz array structures, consisting of a thin LT-GaAs active region transferred to an insulating substrate using a wafer-scale bonding process. The electrically insulating, transparent substrate reduces the parasitic currents in the devices, allowing peak THz-fields as high as 140 kV cm-1 to be generated over a bandwidth >5 THz. These results are achieved using lower pulse energies than demanded by conventional photoconductive arrays and other popular methods of generating high-field THz radiation. Two device sizes are fully characterised and the emission properties are compared to generation by optical rectification in ZnTe. The device can be operated in an optically saturated regime in order to suppress laser noise

Freeze-dried therapeutic microbubbles: stability and gas exchange
No full textMicrobubbles (MBs) are widely used as contrast agents for ultrasound imaging and have been shown to enhance therapeutic delivery. However, they are only stable in solution for a few hours after production, which limits their potential application. Freeze-drying provides long term storage, ease of transport and consistency for therapeutic preparations thereby facilitating their use in clinical settings. The ability to freeze-dry therapeutic MBs is an important development in the translation of therapeutic MBs for clinical application.
Here we show that it is possible to freeze-dry, and reconstitute, therapeutic MBs (thMBs) that consist of a lipid-coated microbubble with an attached liposomal payload. These thMBs have been produced using a microfluidic approach, with either calcein as a model drug or gemcitabine (gem) encapsulated inside the liposomes. The results show that freeze-dried powder of thMBs can be stored for at least 6 months, and upon reconstitution maintain their structure, composition and drug loading as well as their in vivo echogenicity and stability. We have also demonstrated that this approach offers the ability to exchange the gas core in the bubble to allow thMBs with different gases to be constructed.
This approach is advantageous for the translation process of thMBs as it allows precise control of drug and MB concentration and ease of production at the point of care
Data for ‘On-chip density-based sorting of supercooled droplets and frozen droplets in continuous flow’
No full textThe freezing of supercooled water to ice and the materials which catalyse this process are of fundamental interest to a wide range of fields. At present, our ability to control, predict or monitor ice formation processes is poor. The isolation and characterisation of frozen droplets from supercooled liquid droplets would provide a means of improving our understanding and control of these processes. Here, we have developed a microfluidic platform for the continuous flow separation of frozen from unfrozen picolitre droplets based on differences in their density, thus allowing the sorting of ice crystals and supercooled water droplets into different outlet channels with 94 ± 2% efficiency. This will, in future, facilitate downstream or off-chip processing of the frozen and unfrozen populations, which could include the analysis and characterisation of ice-active materials or the selection of droplets with a particular ice-nucleating activity
