Subsequently, each 1 g of β-TCP granule was incubated in 500 mL of mSBF to create the mineral coating. The mSBF was renewed every day throughout the process to maintain a constant ion concentration for the growth of the mineral coating. The MCMs were flushed and lyophilized after incubation. The morphology of β-TCP and MCM was characterized by FE-SEM (Zeiss Sigma 300, Germany). The composition of the MCM was analyzed via EDX using the same SEM instrument.

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.
