Panel A presents a comprehensive comparison of the 5 hr stiffness of the formulations. Statistical significance is evident between all groups except 12% w/w sheared SELP-815K and 12% w/w sheared SELP-47K. Panel B compares the 5 min modulus between 12% w/w sheared SELP-815K and 12% w/w sheared SELP-47K, showing that the SELP-815K formulation gels significantly faster. Panel C presents a summary of the key parameters and their results used to identify the suitable candidate for an embolic, 12% w/w sheared SELP-815K. *p<0.05, **p<.01, ***p<.001.
