Gelation temperature was determined by measuring the storage modulus (G’) and loss modulus (G”) of samples in the temperature sweep mode[36 ,37 ]. Solutions with w/v concentrations ranging between 20 and 40% were prepared as described above. Each sample was uniformly loaded between the Peltier plate of the AR1500ex rheometer (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA) and a 60 mm-diameter, 1° cone geometry at 3 °C. The linear viscoelastic region of each sample was pre-determined at 45 °C by using the oscillation amplitude function, and the following condition was chosen: strain of 0.1%, and angular frequency of 1 rad/s. Then, the G’ and G” of each sample were measured for the temperature range from 3 °C to 45 °C by using the oscillation temperature sweep function of the rheometer (heating step: 1 °C, soak time: 2 min for each temperature increase). The gelation temperature of each sample was determined as the temperature when G’ and G” became equal.
The viscosity of the gel phase was also investigated at constant temperature by flow sweep[30 (link)] (37 °C, shear rate from 1 to 100 s−1) using the rheometer and a 25 mm-diameter parallel plate. Samples were dispensed on the Peltier plate of the rheometer, heated to 37 °C and maintained at 37 °C for 15 min to reach thermal stability before isothermally tested.

PC-515 and Divine 9 (Divine Corporation, Orlando, FL) were tested for viscosity, rheology, pH, osmolality, turbidity, and CG content. Viscosity was measured using a calibrated Brookfield (Middleboro, MA) DV-II+ viscometer (SC4-28 spindle, 5RPM, SC4-13RPY chamber, 37°C). Rheology was characterized using a calibrated AR 1500ex Rheometer (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE) outfitted with 4°, 40 mm diameter, and 108 μm truncation geometry. Viscosity was measured over shear rates of 0.1 to 120 s-1. Gel pH was tested using an Orion 4 Star digital pH Meter (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). Osmolality was measured using a calibrated Vapro 5520 osmometer (Wescor, Logan, UT). Formulations were considered iso-osmolal or nearly iso-osmolal at 200-500 mOsmol/kg. Turbidity was measured using the absorbance (vs. standards) of a sample at 450 nm in an Emax plate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). CG content was determined using methylene blue (Soedjak, 1994 ).

The rheology of cell laden scaffolds was assessed using AR 1500Ex Rheometer (TA instrument, USA) with parallel-plate geometry (20 mm, taper angle of a = 0.0412 and rad = 2.36). Briefly, cells were printed with designed scaffolds of 20 mm diameter, 1 mm height and 45% infill density and were incubated in six well plates supplemented with DMEM-F12 organoid media at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Oscillation time sweep with a strain of 1% and angular frequency of 10 rad/s was used for cell laden stiffness evaluation and the stiffness was measured during day 1, 5, 10 and 15. Each cell laden scaffold was constructed from Ink H4-RGD with NSCLC-PDX cells (2 × 105 cells per scaffold).

The stiffness of scaffolds was evaluated with AR 1500Ex Rheometer (TA instrument, USA) with 1 mm measurement gap (parallel plate geometry, 20 mm plate diameter). To measure the stiffness of cell laden scaffolds, designed scaffolds with a 20 mm diameter,1 mm height and 65% infill density were printed and cross-linked with 100 mM CaCl2 for 3 minutes. Excess cross-linkers were removed and washed with HBSS. The scaffolds were incubated in 6 well plates with DMEM high glucose medium, at 37 °C with 5% CO2. The cultured scaffold was taken out from the well plates and viscoelasticity was ascertained at rheometer temperature of 37 °C and with plate to plate gap of 1 mm. Oscillation frequency sweep was run from 0.1 rad/s to 100 rad/s with 1% strain to check the frequency dependency stiffness of the scaffolds. Additionally, oscillation time sweep with a strain of 1% and angular frequency of 10 rad/s was used for stiffness measurement. The stiffness of the scaffold was measured at day 1, 3,7,10 and 12 at 37 °C. All scaffolds were constructed from 3.25% SA and 4% GL and each cell-laden scaffold had the initial estimated cells of 2 × 105 cells per scaffold.

The viscosity of samples was measured with a TA Instruments AR1500ex rheometer using plate/plate geometry for selected temperatures relevant for the intended use. The temperature (30 °C, Table 1) is controlled by a Peltier system existing on the lower 100 mm diameter stainless steel plate with a 0.01 K resolution, the thermometer being located adjacent to the center of the plate just below the sample layer. The upper geometry used for all samples was a 40 mm diameter stainless steel plate.
The sample volume required for the selected gap (about 1000 µm) was loaded on the geometrical center of the lower plate and the upper plate was sent to the grim gap (selected gap + 200 µm). The final gap was adjusted to meet the proper filling of the geometry.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
