The effect of sedimentation and ... PubMed Central (PMC)
We measured the numbers of gold nanoparticles up taken by cells in the upright and inverted configurations (Fig. 1a) and then correlated the disparity in uptake values with sedimentation and diffusion velocities of the nanoparticles. We used a 6well culture plate with each well containing a glass coverslip on which cells were immobilized.
