Synthesis and Characterization of PAMPS Hydrogel

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS; Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) and 2-oxoglutaric acid (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd, Osaka, Japan) were used as purchased. N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAA; Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) was purified by recrystallization from ethanol. PAMPS gel was synthesized by radical polymerization using MBAA as a cross-linker and 2-oxoglutaric acid as an initiator. The monomer concentration was 1 mol/l for PAMPS, 4 mol% for the cross-linker, and 0.1 mol% for the initiator. Aqueous solution containing a monomer, cross-linker, and the initiator was injected into a cell consisting of a pair of glass plates separated by a silicone rubber. After gelation, gels were immersed in 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) buffer solution [NaHCO 3 1.55 x10 -2 M, HEPES 5 x 10 -3 M, NaCl 0.14 M, pH 7.4] and the HEPES solution was changed twice daily for 1 week to reach equilibrium. After sterilizing by autoclaving (120 ºC, 20 min), gel disks were punched out from a gel sheet with a hole punch having a diameter of 1.5 or 3.5 cm. The thickness of the gel disk was approximately 2 mm. The gel disks were then placed at the bottom of 6-well or 24-well PS plates.

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.
