- | As of the wiki freeze | + | As of the wiki freeze we had yet to perform polymer coating of bacteria-containing agarose beads, although have made arrangements within the Biochemistry department to further research this, to be written as a scientific paper.<br> |
To coat with the polymer, the solidified agarose beads were passed through the following biphasic mixture, a thin organic layer consisting of cellulose acetate in ethyl acetate above an aqueous layer: | To coat with the polymer, the solidified agarose beads were passed through the following biphasic mixture, a thin organic layer consisting of cellulose acetate in ethyl acetate above an aqueous layer: | ||
