How long the affect of Pluronic F127 lasts when it is coated in silicon tubing to prevent cell attachment?

22 November 2021 0 5K Report

Dear All

I would like to coat silicon tubings (Tygon) with 1% Pluronic F127 to prevent cell attachment inside the tubing. Can I use the coated tubings 1 day after I coated or should I use immediately after the coating? Thank you very much!
