Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The soft fish body was made of commercial silicone elastomer (SYLGARD 184, heat-cured). The materials used for fabricating hydrogel electrodes are all commercial grades: acrylamide (Sigma-Aldrich), N,N′-methylenebis (acrylamide) (BIS; Sigma-Aldrich), ammonium persulfate (APS; Sigma-Aldrich), N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED; Sigma-Aldrich), and lithium chloride (LiCl). For making the hydrogel, acrylamide (2 g) and LiCl (0.1 g) were dissolved in 10 ml of deionized water, and BIS (0.001 g) and APS (0.02 g) were subsequently added into the solution. Next, 20 μl of TEMED was added, and the final solution was poured into a mold and cured for 30 min with ultraviolet light to form the conductive hydrogel membrane. The DE membranes (initial thickness, 1.5 mm) consist of two DE membranes stacked together (3M VHB 4910 and 4905 membranes). Silicone adhesive glue (Dow Corning 734) was used for the sealing and gluing. More details of the fabrication and assembly can be found in figs. S1 to S5.

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.
