Figure 4.
Impact of materials and cell type on cell adherence/detachment. The cells were cultivated in 10 cm diameter dishes to complete confluence and then incubated with Tabotamp® or gauze. Non-oxidized cellulose (gauze) served as a control to investigate the direct influence of ORC-induced pH-reduction. After 24 h, the cells were fixed with methanol and stained with crystal violet as described in method section. The figure shows one representative dish out of at least three independent experiments.
