Optimization experimental design. Based on (A) the silicone-CaO2 O2 production rate and (B) the MIN6 pseudo-islet O2 consumption rate, (C) a central composite design was used to optimize the HEMOXCell concentration and islet seeding density in the BAP. The response variables, intracellular ATP content (RLU), and ATP/LDH viability ratio (RLU/AU) per device were assessed for MPIs encapsulated in alginate sheets after 1 day of culture. Results of O2 production rate (n = 2) and consumption rate (n = 6) are presented as mean ± SEM of independent experiments. (D) Response surface analysis for the optimization DoE. The plots represent the effects of the HEMOXCell concentration, islet seeding density, and their interaction on the ATP content and the ATP/LDH ratio in the BAP after 1 day of culture under 1% O2 tension.
