Mechanical analysis using compression testing and rheology revealed that the gels became softer over the algae cultivation period of 28 days. In particular, we demonstrated that incorporating algae results in a reduction in mechanical robustness, most likely due to the algae consumption of crosslinkers. All gels exhibited the same swelling behaviour, i.e. an increase up to 14 days, followed by a decrease after 21 and 28 days. Glass body semi-micro electrodes provide superior chemical resistance and can withstand high temperatures while allowing samples down to 200 μLand laboratory developed adhesives can be used. In the stretchable electrodes reported by Jang etal., ultralow modulus and adhesive silicone elastomer, Silbione RT Gel, was coated on an elastic fabric to form an compliant, breathable, and adhesive substrate. [ Electrical impedance analysis was used to investigate the behaviour of the living electrode system. Equivalent circuit modelling showed that our living electrodes can be modelled as a resistor in series with a Warburg diffusion element and a capacitor. The living algae/alginate hydrogels exhibited conductivity values of 4.9 ± 0.2 mS cm −1 (after 28 days) which allowed these materials to function as living electrode components in simple electrical circuits. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a computed tomography technique that has been used to show the spatial distribution of electrical impedance inside the human body. In EIT, small currents are injected into the human body through surface electrodes attached to the body, and simultaneously the boundary voltages are collected to reconstruct an impedance-based image [ 1]. Although EIT suffers from a relatively low spatial resolution compared with other existing imaging techniques, such as CT and MRI, it provides several unique advantages in terms of low cost, non-invasion, dynamic image monitoring and functional imaging [ 2]. Since the impedance properties of biological tissues differs for various physiological and pathological states [ 3, 4], EIT shows great potential in various clinical scenarios including the detection of breast cancer [ 5], monitoring pharyngeal and gastric motility [ 6, 7], and assessing pulmonary ventilation [ 8] or abdominal bleeding [ 9]. There are plenty of noisy interferences on the skin–electrode interfaces, which are likely to reduce the quality of signals recorded by electrodes. [

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have played a critical role in the development of on‐skin electrodes due to their excellent characteristics, such as flexibility and high electrical conductivity. [ Transfer of resolved protein bands to a secondary support (e.g. nitrocellulose) for probing with other reagents (i.e. antibodies) A DNA marker with fragments of known lengths is usually run through the gel at the same time as the samples. Illustration showing DNA bands separated on a gel. The length of the DNA fragments is compared to a marker containing fragments of known length.The gel consists of a permeable matrix, a bit like a sieve, through which molecules can travel when an electric current is passed across it.

The only effective method to achieve low impedances is still to abrade the area of skin underneath each electrode and then to apply an electrolytic gel or paste. This is very time consuming, and any contribution to saving even the tiniest amount of time should be exploited. Some general measures are listed and then the pros and cons of the different features of electrolyte gels are discussed. et al., Green bioprinting: Viability and growth analysis of microalgae immobilized in 3D-plotted hydrogels versus suspension cultures, Eng.
