Mechanical characterisation of hydrogel materials (2014, methodology): “Indentation testing has been used to study hydrogels at large (mm)(40,56,57) and at small (nm to mm) length scales.(13,19,22,27,41,58,59) The technique is highly adaptable with regard to length scale, as the probe geometry and contact area can be tuned to optimise the testing to the instrument such ”
A practical guide to hydrogels for cell culture (2016, methodology): “Coverslip silanization to permit covalent attachment of the hydrogel directly to the coverslip surface is a common way to prevent this 30 .”
