Orthogonal Measurements

Ongoing
Definitions: Orthogonal measurements: Measurements that use different physical principles to measure the same property of the same sample with the goal of minimizing method-specific biases and interferences. Complementary measurements: Measurements that corroborate each other to support the same

Tissue Engineering Measurands

Ongoing
Making a Measurand Chart: A measurand chart can be created for any measurement by writing down all the measurands that occur during the measurement. The panels should not be procedural steps, such as “wash the sample with buffer” or “centrifuge the microfuge tubes”. Consider if the measurement has a

Biofabrication of Tissue Engineered Constructs

Ongoing
OCT imaging was assessed using a model scaffold-cell system consisting of a polysaccharide-based hydrogel seeded with human Jurkat cells. Four test systems were used: hydrogel seeded with live cells, hydrogel seeded with heat-shocked or fixed dead cells and hydrogel without any cells. Time series
