Polymeric hydrogel networks were obtained by a sequential method previously described [32 (link),33 (link)]. First, 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MS, USA) was solubilized in distilled water (70 wt.%). Then, di-ethylene glycol bis-allyl carbonate (DEGBAC; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MS, USA) and azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MS, USA) were added (0.4 wt.% in 1:1 ratio). Polymerization of the solution was performed at 50 ± 2 °C for 24 h in glass beakers, sealed with aluminium foil inside an oven (Blue-M, TPS, Riverside, MI, USA). Subsequently, the hydrogel was placed in an ethanol/water (70%/30% v/v) solution for 48 h in order to remove any unreacted reagents. Finally, PVP hydrogel network was embedded in a 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS; pH = 7.4, Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MS, USA) until swollen equilibrium was reached. Finally, samples were stored at 4 °C until characterization.

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.
