l-Alanine, uric acid, gold nanoparticle solution (diameter = 20 nm, optical density = 1), glass coverslips, 20 mL glass vials, stir bars and thermometers were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Deionized water was obtained from Millipore Direct Q3 UV apparatus (Billerica, MA, USA). Adhesive silicone isolators with 21-well capacity (depth = 2.0 mm, diameter = 4.5 mm with a capacity of 30 µL, and diameter = 3.5 mm with a capacity of 10 µL) were designed by the Aslan Research Group and manufactured by Grace BioLabs (Bend, OR, USA). Poly(methyl)methacrylate (PMMA) discs (5 cm diameter) were purchased from McMaster-Carr (Chicago, IL, USA). The iCrystal plates were created by combining the PMMA discs and the adhesive silicone isolators. Adhesive silicon isolator was carefully attached to the PMMA platform and gently pressed to ensure water-tight attachment. The 8 GHz medical microwave (maximum wattage 20 W) was obtained from Emblation Microwave (Inglewood, Alloa, Scotland, UK).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
