Simultaneous monitoring of electroformation of phospholipid vesicles by quartz crystal microbalance and optical microscopy
Abstract
The electroformation of giant vesicles from 1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine (DMPC) was monitored using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) and optical microscopy, simultaneously using a novel sample cell design. A gold-coated QCM crystal was used as one of the electrodes and an Indium-tin-oxide (ITO)-coated glass slide was used as the second electrode for electroformation. Increases in the frequency and …
