How to make Sodium Alginate Beads 

Thank you all for reaching 1000 subscribers. You love and support to my channel "World of Nanotechnology" has been overwhelming. Your comments have helped me in improving the contents of this channel. More videos coming soon.

Nice work mate. I'm doing this in my medical cannabis research. Keep up the good work!

Very useful. Thank you

Thankyou so much for your good work, sir!

After adding sodium alginate to calsium chloride, we do not have any sodiumsalts but all of them convert to calcium alginate. In fact you make calcium alginate bead

I wanted to see if you could use this to make long pliable filament strands? Like bio-yarn?

I had a question if i use calcium sulfate gypsum instead of calcium chloride would it have the same reaction forming the bead?.

How make dry sodum alginat beads,

Hey Dr Ranjit I am conducting some research on sodium alginate complexed with Prussian blue. What would be the best method to cross-link the two? Looking forward to your answer.

Hlo sir i am also doing dessirtation on alginate please tell me the procedure of extraction of alginate from sargassum seaweed i have read many papers but i haven't found any correct procedure please tell me if you know it

Thank u sir great job👏👏👏

Hello! I'd like to ask if the encapsulation method using sodium alginate will interfere with the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent immobilized inside the alginate?

Very nice

Nice work sir,I've some questions if you could explain please. 1.what is sodium alginate is it fluid or solid? 2.if it is fluid then is it newtonian or Non-newtonian fluid. my confusion is researcher are using it is a base fluid for nano particals so i'm thinking that it is not fluid . your comments will be highly appreciated.

can you please describe the process of making nano particle of sodium alginate and also describe how to load a drug in it please 🙏🏻

Could you please do an experiment for super hydrophilic for alumnim using nano.

hi Sir, thank you for your good experiment I wonder if I want to have smaller beads like microspheres. I make the water/oil emulsion and then I wash the oil phase with isopropanol or ethanol, I scare that when I wash, microspheres are lost. Can you give me a tip on this work? Thank you

Hello sir, thank you for your good Vedic I am planning to encapsulate probiotic bacteria with sodium alginate and I have tried different concentration of both sodium alginate and calcium chloride but beads getting break after filtration Also how long I have to keep for hardening

How preparation sodium alginate, cacl2 for Immulation in 100 ml. Can you method

Hello Sir, I am Sanchit Khairnar Student of Chemical Engineering at Pune University as a part of my final year project I wanted to make chitosan cellulose composite beads and this video was very helpful to me I need some help with my process I have chitosan and microcrystalline cellulose now the process of making beads is same where we mix chitosan and sodium alginate and microcrystalline cellulose make a solution of this and stir it for 30 mins and then drop this solution in CaCl and decant after beads formation I need your help with detailing this process where I want to know how many grams of chitosan to use how many grams of cellulose and sodium alginate and should I just put the powder of in DM water or I should prepare separate solutions how go I exactly do this and make chitosan cellulose composite beads?

Hello Dr. Ranjit, how can I make Calcium Alginate Beads? Thank you for your fantastic video.

After making activated carbon alginate beads how should I store them for long time use ?

Sir can i add soap to sodium Aliginate beads to make soap sphere

Aoa To make sodium alginate beads I added 4g alginate powder in 100ml water then added 5g adsorbent ( activated carbon) and drop by drop poured it in CaCl2 solution that was made by adding 3g of CaCl2 in 100ml water but my beads are not forming in fact they get dissolved 😣...

Hi, Can we use actives in sodium alginate beads for example niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, fruit extracts etc and then use the final sphere in a serum?

Sir any process for calcium lactate manufacturing

Can anybody help me, how to prepare sodium alginate solution with our sample of interest

How to make sodium alginate gel sir, is it like just dissolving this preaped beads in distilled water🙄

I want to ask you that how can we remove water or dry the beads? Actually I immobilized lipase enzyme using Ca-alginate gel entrapment method for further use in esterification reaction but I can't able to remove water? Is there any tips on this i"ll highly appreciate your guidance on this Thank you!

Hello sir, I'm working on the immobilized enzyme in which i jave to made the immobilized cellulase but it not form. I have used sodium alginate of HIMEDIA and cacl2 of fischer scientific. And for cacl2 solution i was using 250ml water and 4.16gm cacl2 and for the sodium alginate solution I'm using 0.4gm in 10 ml. When I'm forming the beads it'll look like a spherical droplets and after some time it'll dissolved in cacl2 solu. What should i do plz help.

Thank you, sir. Sir, how should we make Tris acetate saline buffer (100mM , pH=7.2) for storing alginate beads?

Sir, what is there any weight per volume percentage of both materials? Is there any ratio?

how could we dry these beads?

Without absorbent these sodium alginate beads can't remove dyes ?? Right

Hi sir, what measure of alginate and calcium chlorida to make the outer layer harder. So when you drop it, it will bounce. Please i need the answer. thank you

Sir want to ask how uh have added mno2 to the precursor....means in how much amount...

How many percent by weight for the sodium alginate solution

Which gread of sodium alginate

Hello Dr. Ranjit, what nanoparticles do you use for degraded that methylene blue? thankyou sir

Sir I have some doubts how can we make alginate beads from fly ash

Is that already an alginate hydrogel?

Please send Procedure in detail.

Kindly provide the link to buy sodium alginate... actually many brands are selling it and himedia have two different grades of sodium alginate....I want the same one which you r using sir

Hi there, we are trying to form beads but the sodium alginate solution just disperses into the Calcium chloride solution as soon as we drop it in. What do you think is wrong?

Why used calsium cloride water? For what

Sir , I want to talk about business purpose . How to contact you

Please how can i make Cacl2 solution in 5%concentration

How to contact your lab

Does sodium alginate feels sticky on the skin

hellow sir, can we give colour to the beads with any materials like colouring agents ?

Sir what is your sodium alginate viscosity range?

Hello Dr. Ranjit, is it possible to make optically clear hydrogel (containing H2O + H2O2) in a container, which solidifies over time?

Hii sir, I just want to know the percentage of alginate becoz I have been trying from many days by taking 2.5% sodium alginate and 0.1m calcium chloride but the beads are not obtaining in spherical shape

Please may i know the chemical grade of sodium alginate ? In our lab we have laboratory grade sodium alginate in that beads are not forming so can u please suggest me catalogue number or the grade or information of that chemical 🙏

Sir I am trying for making beads but all in vain I use different concentration of sodium alginate and calcium chloride 1g ..100ml and 0.1M cacl2 0.75g ...100ml and 0.5M cacl2 0.4...100ml... and 2 M cacl2 0.5 in 50ml ....1M cacl2 0.5 in 50 ml ....2M cacl2 0.6 in 50 ml .....1M 0.6 in 50 ml ...2M 0.7 in 100 ml .... 1M 0.7 in 100ml ...2M 0.4 in 100ml .... 1%cacl2 0.5 in 100 ml ......2% cacl2 1g sodium alginate in 100ml .......2%cacl2 But still beads not form First of all I make solution of sodium alginate by dissolving it in distilled water by placing it on hot plate with constant stirring than I make solution of cacl2 and take the Na alginate in syring and pour drop by drop into cacl2 but no beads form 😑

I am Indonesia

sir ur method is not work i tried it
