Fig. 3.
Viable adrenal chromaffin cells adhere more readily to DLC:N than to the other tested electrode or insulating materials. (A) Cell density (cells/mm2) is presented as the mean ± SE from at least 40 images taken from 4 samples of each substrate in two different cell preparations. Trypan blue staining was used to quantify adherent dead cells as described in Section 2. ** Indicates the sample differs from DLC:N with p < 0.01. Micrographs of chromaffin cells adherent to (B) DLC:N, (C) ITO, (D) Pt, (E) Au, (F) Teflon AF. Scale Bar represents 50 µm.
