I have prepared hydrogels , I want to determine antibacterial activity. Should I use them In gel form ? or I have also in solid dried powder form. What is the way of sample preparation form them ?
For plant extracts polymers and other I normally use 10mg/ml to 40mg/ml. The gels swell in water and DMSO.
Dear Yasir Iqbal, I suppose it is not a Virgin hydrogel, but loaded with an antibacterial agent, silver based for example. Please check the following documents. My Regards

Dear Dr.
You may cut the same shape and same dimensions of your hydrogels and use them in Petri dishes containing agar. You can also use them in liquid form, one step before solidification. just need to drop the same amount in the Petri dishes.
Good luck
Want to check the antibacterial activity of the hydrogel formulation, or the active constituent(s)' activity?
