BRIEF DESCRIPTION:

Tabard-Cossa Lab nanopore cells realized by the provided design files are compatible with the Northern Nanopore Instruments Spark E2 nanopore fabrication device.
Included are the .step files that describe CAD geometry and .stl mesh files for 3D printing for cells that accommodate 5mm x 5mm x 200-300um thick nanopore chips with a single centrally placed membrane.
Procedure and QC forms are also included for reference to guide manufacturing and quality control.

BRIEF MANUFACTURING NOTES:
Cells are designed to be printed on a Form 3 3D printer using Tough 1500 v1 resin in a vertical orientation with base supports for best interface surface quality.
Cell caps are designed to be printed on a Form 3 3D printer using Flexible 80A v1 resin in a 20-30 degree channel tilted orientation with base supports for best dimensional fidelity.
Cell caps accommodate 1mm x 13mm silver wire electrodes for Spark E2 compatibility.
Gaskets are die punched from 0.010" (0.381mm) thick HT6135 Shore 35A silicone elastomer to 5mm x 5mm size with a 1-1.2mm central hole for membrane access.
Assembly hardware includes M2x16 socket head screws and M2 thin hex nuts.
