Abstract

Herein, we showcase the use of high-throughput microplate reader methodologies for the characterisation of supramolecular gels. We demonstrate how UV-Vis absorption, optical density and fluorescence measurements can selectively define gel fibre assembly/disassembly processes, casting a new light on the construction of these materials.
