A team of US Scientists from the University of California, Davis, have demonstrated how membrane architecture and a functionalized colloidal crystal can be used for optical measurement of transmembrane ionic transport.
The team led by Atul Parikh say their experimental design also opens practical possibilities for parallel measurements that may be useful for the characterization of stochastic transport processes and high-throughput measurements.
