Fabrication of Collagen-Chitosan Nanofiber Scaffolds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PCL (Mw 80,000) (Sigma, New York, NY, USA) was dissolved in N-dimethylformamide and chloroform (Merck, Kenilworth, NJ, USA) by ratio 1/9 (N-dymethylformamid/chloroform). Spinning solution with concentration of 8% (w/v) was prepared. Then, the solution was electrospun upon applying a high voltage (22.5 kv) and mass flow rate of 1 ml/h at room temperature. Polymer nanofibers were collected on an aluminum foil which covered the target [1 (link)].
Collagen-chitosan film was developed by casting and solvent-evaporation method. Collagen (type I, Sigma) and chitosan (Sigma) were separately dissolved in acetic acid (0.5 M, Merck). Mixture of the 1% collagen and 1% chitosan solutions (9:1 V/V) were cast on polystyrene molds, frozen at -80℃ for 2 hours and then lyophilized in a freeze dryer for 24 hours. Scaffolds then cross-linked using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (Sigma). The sample was rinsed in distilled water and dried at 37℃ for 4 days.

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.
