It looks like Maurten gels (sports gels) use this method (a mix of Calcium Carbonate, Gluconic acid and Sodium Alginate). Do those gels hydrate better than water, or is it just that a gel form is more convenient to use for certain applications?
Phosphate-buffered saline. A common buffer used in biological experiments/tissues. Essentially what you use to hydrate cells or any biological tissue instead of pure water.
Very nice
can we use this to grow micro-algae?

Lol this song is from super Mario game boy. Look it up just re midi fied.
Can alginate still forms into gel without calcium chloride? What is the main function of calcium chloride,anyone please explain to meee
its important cuz it binds two polymers to make that gel structure
Hardening the alginate gel
Hey, What exactly is this gel used for?
Hey, Great Video!! Is the Alginate Gel made for assisting with the healing of scars? Similar to hydrogel/silicone scar sheets?

What is its use..:.?
do you have a protocol about this? any reference?
Well, I always wondered what people in El Paso did. Now I guess I know.
I'm not a chemist. Can you please define PBS.
Its phosphate buffer saline

guys as far as I know, phosphate inturruptes the calcium bridge in alginate. why do they use pbs?
what is the calcium chloride concentration used ? Thanks
Vallabh Kshirsagar pretty dilute, about 6% volume usually works
