Chitosan (degree of deacetylation ≥ 75%, viscosity 20–300 cps), anhydrous calcium chloride granules (7.0 mm, 93.0%), ferric chloride hexahydrate (ACS reagent, 97%), montmorillonite, cupric chloride dihydrate (ACS reagent, ≥ 99.0%) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Mumbai, India. Sodium alginate (pure) from Sisco laboratories, Chennai and carboxymethyl cellulose from Molychem, Mumbai, were obtained. Norfloxacin (C16H18FN3O3, Analytical standard, ≥98%) purchased from Merck, Mumbai. Distilled deionized water (Millipore system) was used in all experiments, and all other chemicals were directly utilized with no additional purification.

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.
