Tri-Functional Hydrophilic Self-Crosslinked Dimethylacrylamide Polymer
The invention provides a method for preparing an expanded cell or tissue sample suitable for microscopic analysis. Expanding the sample can be achieved by binding, e.g., anchoring, key biomolecules to a DMAA-TF polymer network and swelling, or expanding, the polymer network, thereby moving the biomolecules apart as further described herein. As the biomolecules are anchored to the polymer network isotropic expansion of the polymer network retains the spatial orientation of the biomolecules resulting in an expanded, or enlarged, sample.
