Beads
Overview
Alginate beads are commonly used for immobilization of macromolecules and cells, however, they are also applied for pharmaceutical purposes such as drug delivery. The polymer
Production
Bacteria are resuspended and diluted in NaCl-solution (0.9 % in H2O) so as to achieve the desired cell density. The resuspension was added to Alginate (2.5%) to reach a alginate concentration of 2%. |
Loading the Chip
The beads are better visible in liquid when light shines from the side. So it's easier to load the the chip with help of a cell phone light. |
