Fabrication of Esophageal Polymer Scaffolds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Esophageal polymeric scaffolds were fabricated by electrospinning as described previously (Fig. 2A) [10 (link)]. Briefly, 30 wt% polyethylene oxide (Mw=100,000, Sigma) solution in distilled water was electrospun onto rotating stainless steel mandrels (diameter=2 cm) to 2 mm thickness. Then, 20 wt% PU (Pellethane, Lubrizol LifeSciences) solution in N,N-dimethylformamide (Junsei Chemical Co.) was also electrospun onto the collector at the same thickness. The inner layer was made at a linear speed of 0.31 m/s (1,200 rpm) so that random fiber arrangement could occur. On the other hand, the outer layer rotated the mandrel at a linear speed of 3.14 m/sec (12,000 rpm), which led to a circumferential orientation of the fibers. In both cases, the feeding rate of the solution was fixed to 0.5 mL/hr. The distance between the nozzle and flat sheet collector was set precisely at 25 cm, with 15 kV generated by a power supply. The prepared double-layered esophageal scaffold was dried overnight in a vacuum oven (38 °C) to remove residual organic solvent. The mechanical strengths of two-layered PU scaffolds were measured using a tensile test machine (AG-5000G; Shimadzu) which was equipped with a 50-kgf load cell at a crosshead speed of 10 mm/min. Specimens were prepared in the form of a standard dumbbell-shape (n=4).

PDMS-based Cell Culture Device

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As shown in the schematic design (Fig. 1), the device was fabricated with an external diameter of 28 mm, internal diameter of 22 mm, and height of 17 mm. After mixing polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS, Sewang Hitech, South Korea) and curing agent (Sewang Hitech, South Korea) at a ratio of 10:1, it was poured into a cast and air bubbles were eliminated using a vacuum pump for 30 min. The cured device was then attached onto a 6-well plate with PDMS bonding and connected to a 14G needle to open the pore under the 6-well plate. The lateral holes of the membrane were punched using a 0.1 mm PDMS punch. Devices were sterilized with 70% alcohol. To prepare the nanofiber, 1.5% (w/v) PCL (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA) was dissolved in a mixed solution of 7 ml tetrahydrofuran (Junsei, Japan) and 3 ml N,N-dimethylformamide (Junsei, Japan) and stirred for 24 h. After stirring, 45 μg/ml of C-phycocyanin was added to confer several positive functions (anti-inflammatory, ROS scavenging, etc.) to the cell culture based on our previous study21 (link). The distance of the needle tip to the collector was 15 cm, and the solution was electrospun at 1 ml/h and 15 kV. The nanofiber (PCL-NF) was attached to the membrane using PDMS.

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.
