Genotoxicity testing of the studied biocompatible scaffolds was done by the method of Comet Assay in Lep-3 cells in the presence of extracts of all six BC based hydrogel scaffolds. Data quantitation proceeded with estimation of the percentage of comets by assuming the total number of objects per probe (n = 1000) as 100% and the percentage of comets, i.e., cells with damaged DNA was estimated and represented as a graph. Student t test was performed and the estimated p values for all probes in comparison to the control were statistically significant p < 0.05.
