Fig. 4: Stability of devices under different temperature conditions.

The number of bacteria is indicated in the figure as colony forming unit (CFU). a Histograms of bacterial removal by devices at time zero (n = 2) and b by devices stored for 30 days at 4 °C (n = 2) and c at room temperature (n = 2). The INPUT histogram indicates serum containing bacteria before incubation, CTR OUTPUT represents serum in the device without peptide and SET-M33 OUTPUT represents serum after incubation in the device with the peptide. Columns represent a group.
