18. This calculation is based on a meniscus volume approximation wherein a cone (of same base and height) is subtracted from a cylinder of height and radius equaling 115 and 150 nm, respectively. MHA solubility in water at 25°C, pH ∼ 5is2.2 x 10-15 mol/L on the basis of SciFinder predicted properties calculated using Advanced Chemistry Development (ACD/Labs) Software V8.14.

27. Using D values of 0.015 and 0.085 m2/sec allows one to derive the range of v for 1 to 7 droplets, respectively. Dividing by the footprint of MHA, one can calculate dx/dt, the net transport rates, which are 6.9 x 104 and 3.9 x 105 molecules s-1, respectively. Other values used for this calculation include b = 1413 nm2, which corresponds to the surface area of a hemisphere with a 15 nm radius, and T = 23 °C. For the surface area increase of the tip by 40% due to MHA, a value of b =1978 nm2 was used.
