My project is to help characterize the mechanical properties of my mentor’s peptide hydrogels after incubating in the media. Last week, we prepared a cell culture plate with hydrogels for 3, 5, 7, 10 and 12 days post-incubation. The hydrogels are incubating in media and are retrieved each day listed. I am using the Rheometer to determine the Storage Modulus (G’) and Loss Modulus (G”)  I am also collecting the media to determine the pH.  So… I am preparing “lots” of Excel graphs and data tables.
