Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The corrosion behavior of quinary wires was analyzed before and after heat treatment using in-vitro immersion testing according to the ASTM G31–72 standard. The tests were carried out in a solution prepared with 9.8 g of Hank’s balanced salts (H1387, Sigma Aldrich) and 0.35 g NaHCO3 (S233–500, Fisher Chemical) in 1 L of distilled water. The pH of this solution was adjusted to 7.4 through the addition of 1 M HCl or 1 M NaOH, as necessary. Prior to immersion, the initial mass and length of each wire was measured, as well as an average diameter, calculated using three measurements. The wires were individually immersed in ~20 mL of the preparation solution for 10 and 40 days in a controlled environment under the following conditions: 5 % CO2 atmosphere, 90% relative humidity, and 37 °C. To maintain a constant pH throughout the duration of the tests, the Hank’s solution was replenished every two days. Upon completion of the tests, the wires were cleaned in an ultrasonic bath of 70% ethanol for 5 minutes, followed by 5 minutes in acetone in order to remove any loose precipitates on their surfaces before measurement of the final masses. Mass loss is presented in Supplementary Fig. 7.

Following the manufacturer’s instructions, Hanks’ balanced salt solution (HBSS) was prepared from the solid salts (Sigma Aldrich, Burlington, MA, USA, Hanks’ Balanced Salts, H2387-10X1L). The enzyme mix for digestion was prepared as follows: 0.4 mg/mL collagenase type IV (Gibco, Billings, MT, 17104-019) and 0.6 mg/mL dispase (Gibco, 17105-041) were added to 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) low Ig (PAN Biotech, Aidenbach, Germany, P30-2802) in HBSS colorless (Sigma Aldrich, H8264-1L). Cells were isolated from 2 cm of the distal colon per sample. The samples were first transferred in 2 mM EDTA (Sigma Aldrich, 38057-1EA) in HBSS for 15 min at 37 °C while shaking. The supernatant was removed, and the samples were incubated in 2 mM EDTA in HBSS for another 30 min. The supernatant was removed again, and the samples were incubated in warm HBSS before transferring into the previously prepared enzyme mix for digestion and incubated for 20 min at 37 °C while shaking. After incubation, the samples were sheared with the help of a syringe and 18 G needle and then passed through a 70 µm cell strainer.

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.
