Table 2.

Total porosity of freeze dried scaffolds measured by pycnometer and micro-computed tomography (µ-CT) data analysis. Porosity measured by pycnometer showed a statistically significant (** p < 0.005) difference between values of PA compared to AGG2 and AGG3.

Scaffold type Porosity measured by pycnometer (n = 5) (%) Porosity measured by µCT image analysis (n = 4) (%)
PA 79.7 ± 1.2 66.9 ± 3.4
AGG2 69.5 ± 1.2 ** 60.8 ± 2.8
AGG3 69.3 ± 1.0 ** 62.3 ± 2.3
