T/R schedule

Staining protocol time is expected to be ~ 1 hour, leaving 25 min blocks of microscope time for each group.

Please come prepared to lab (i.e., having read the protocol), and feel free to arrive even earlier than the suggested times below.

Microscope time Arrival time (at latest!) Team colour
2:05-2:30 1:05 Yellow
2:30-2:55 1:20 Red
2:55-3:20 1:45 Blue

mesenchymal stem cells grown in low viscosity alginate with various conditions

0.5mg/mL HA and no collagen added. Image was taken with the bead core up.
0.5mg/mL HA and approx. 0.1% collagen added. Image was taken with the bead core down. Bead was squished by the coverslip, resulting in lower density of cells in the field of view.
3:20-3:45 2:10 Purple

mesenchymal stem cells grown in low viscosity alginate with various conditions

0.05mg/mL HA and no collagen added
0.05mg/mL HA and collagen II added
3:45-4:10 2:35 Pink

Testing chondrocytes with and without the presence of ascorbate (a growth factor). Beads a made from low viscosity alginate.

Live cells shown with ascorbate added
Few cells can be seen in the sample without ascorbate, most likely due to cells falling out of the bead.
4:10-4:35 3:00 Orange
4:35-5:00 3:25 Green
