Figure Lengend Snippet: The protocol of mucoadhesion studies. Purified porcine gut mucin was dispersed in water (1 mg/mL), aliquoted to an Eppendorf tube, and mixed with C6@CNC or C6@M-CNC suspension (150 µg/mL). The mixture was then injected into the microchannels of an optically translucent microslide with six parallel microchannels before being imaged in an inverted microscope ( λ ex/em = 470/525 nm).
Article Snippet: An optically translucent microslide (μ-Slide VI 0.1; Ibidi GmbH; ) containing six parallel microfluidic channels ( l × b × h = 17 × 1 × 0.1 mm 3 ; volume 1.7 μL) with reservoirs (60 μL) attached at both ends of each microchannel was used.
Techniques: Purification, Suspension, Injection, Inverted Microscopy
