Attraction forces between crystal and lipid monolayer were measured with JPK NanoWizard II (JPK). All set up was the same as the JPK CellHesion except z length was 10 µm. AFM scanning mode was used to confirm domain formation.

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.
