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. |
