Mechanical property parameters of agarose (AG, pink bars) and fibrin (FIB, blue bars). hydrogels at a range of concentrations: A) instantaneous elastic modulus (R1), maximum strain (Max(ε)), and residual strain (Res(ε)) as determined by MUVE (n = 4), B) instantaneous elastic modulus (R1) and maximum strain (Max(ε)) as determined by nanoindentation (n ≥ 3), C) storage (G′) and loss (G″) modulus as determined by shear rheometry (n 2≥ 3). Lines above bars indicate p < 0.05 with ANOVA followed by Tukey’s HSD test.
