Oxygen Plasma Treatment of Polystyrene and Zeonor: Substrates for Adhesion of Patterned Cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Plastic substrates made of polystyrene (PS) and Zeonor 1060R were treated with oxygen plasma to introduce polar groups (e.g., carbonyl and carboxylic acid) at the surface that render these materials hydrophilic and promote patterned adhesion of HeLa cells. Resultant surfaces were characterized using contact angle goniometry, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to monitor changes in wettability, nanoscale topography, and chemical composition. Biocompatibility of the plastic surfaces was verified through fluorescence microscopy using three fluorophores, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to Annexin V, Hoechst 33258, and propidium iodide, indicating cells that undergo apoptosis and necrosis, respectively. The best cell growth was observed on PS treated at 5 W/sccm, for which the viability of adhering HeLa cells exceeded 90%. Patterning was accomplished using an elastomeric microcapillary system (microCS) made of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) that consisted of a set of parallel channels to align cells in linear fashion. Densely populated bands were obtained on substrates of both plastic materials when the culture medium contained >2 x 10(5) cells/mL.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
