Abstract
Correction for ‘Mesoporous strontium doped nano sized sulphate hydroxyapatite as a novel biomaterial for bone tissue applications’ by Ammar Z. Alshemary et al., RSC Adv., 2016, 6, 68058–68071.
The authors regret that part of the Materials and methods section in the original article requires correction. The sequence of steps described for the preparation of the cell samples in the subsection Cellular proliferation and attachment on page 68060 is incorrect, and the amended text for the paragraph beginning “The morphology of cells seeded on discs…” is shown below:
“The morphology of cells seeded on discs after 1 and 7 days of incubations was examined by FESEM. At days 1 and 7, the discs were removed gently and rinsed 3 times with PBS, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde solution and then dehydrated with graded ethanol–water solution series (50%, 60%, 70%, 80% and absolute). The dehydrated samples were kept in hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) for 1 h. The experiments were conducted in duplicates for each group”.
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
