Abstract

A method for shape representation of hydrogel micro-pore arrays comprises the steps that firstly, a selected hydrogel material is polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate and an optical masking method and a template method are adopted for preparing the polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate hydrogel micro-pore arrays with different pore diameters and different pore depths; secondly, a scanning electrochemical microscope probe is prepared and a scanning electrochemical microscope detection system is established; finally, home position representation is conducted on the shape of the polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate hydrogel micro-pore arrays in an aqueous solution through a scanning electrochemical microscope. According to the method, natural oxygen couples in the aqueous solution serve as redox couples, home position representation is conducted on the shape of the polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate hydrogel micro-pore arrays in the aqueous solution through the scanning electrochemical microscope technology, two-dimensional pore diameter and three-dimensional shape information of the surfaces of the hydrogel micro-pore arrays is obtained, and the method has the advantages that home position representation, reversible representation and lossless representation can be conducted on a sample in the aqueous solution and the three-dimensional shape information of the hydrogel material can be obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydrogel characterization, in particular to a method for characterizing the morphology of a hydrogel micropore array. Background technique [0002] Hydrogel microwell array is a new type of substrate soft material for cell culture, which has the following advantages: (1) a three-dimensional network structure with high water content similar to extracellular matrix is ​​conducive to cell proliferation and spreading; (2) physical , The chemical properties are easy to adjust, which can meet the special requirements of cell culture; (3) High transparency, which is beneficial to observe cells during cell culture. Therefore, hydrogel microwell arrays have shown broad application prospects in cell culture, which has aroused widespread interest. [0003] The microwell morphology of the hydrogel microwell array has a direct impact on the behavior of the cells cultured in it, so the characterization of the hydrogel...
