Synthesis of Ferrous Citrate Complex

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A total of 25 g Citric acid monohydrate (>99.5%, Fluka, Munich, Germany) were completely dissolved in 500 mL of ultrapure water to which 6.0 g of iron powder (>99%, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) were added. The solution was boiled and stirred under magnetic stirring (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) until all iron powder disappeared and consequently appeared the ferrous citrate complex (Fe(II)C). Then the mixture was cooled at room temperature and the precipitate grey/pearly complex was filtered under vacuum with a paper filter and washed with water; finally, the obtained solid was freeze dried.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Magnetic microstructured PDMS MacroStampTM (25 mm × 75 mm, Figure 2) were obtained by molding PDMS (Sylgard® 184, Dow Corning, Seneffe, Belgium) on a silicon-etched mold generated by UV photolithography and reactive ion etching (RIE) with a targeted etch depth of 160 µm. The mold is silanized using octodecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) to facilitate the MacroStampTM unmolding [29 (link)]. PDMS prepolymer solution (10:1 base to curing agent ratio) was then poured on the silicon mold and partially cured at 60 °C for 15 min. Then, a mix of PDMS prepolymer solution and iron powder (Sigma Aldrich (Saint Quentin Fallavier, France), hydrogen reduced, 50 µm diameter, 50/50, w/w) is prepared by successively mixing (2 min) and degassing (5 min) the resulting magnetic PDMS prepolymer solution. These steps were repeated twice and the magnetic PDMS was then molded on the first partially-cured PDMS layer. The two layers were then reticulated at 60 °C for 4 h. The resulting MacroStampTM containing 64 microstructured (50 circular patterns, 160 µM diameter at 300 µM pitch) millimetric pillars (Figure 2) were then removed from the mold. Each MacroStampTM was cleaned before and after its use by immersion in 96% ethanol (5 min).

Fabrication of Magnetic PDMS Stamps

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Magnetic PDMS stamps were structured with a variety of feature sizes (from 10 to 150 μm) and forms (squares, lines, spots and triangles). SU-8 resist master molds required for the fabrication of micro-structured PDMS stamps were fabricated by photolithography. After UV exposure of the resist layer (SU-8 3050, thickness of 25 μm), the master mold was developed in SU-8 developer for 9 minutes and rinsed using isopropanol. Then a PerFluorodecylTrichloroSilane (PFTS) coating was performed by spray pyrolysis deposition (SPD) to confer anti-adhesive properties to the mold surface [19 ]. Similar to the fabrication of the microfluidic devices, structured magnetic PDMS stamps were obtained in two steps. A thin layer of degassed PDMS solution (mixture of PDMS prepolymer and curing agent in 10:1 weight ratio) was poured onto the master mold and cured for 1 hour at 65°C. Magnetic PDMS solution (50/50, w/w) of iron powder (Sigma Aldrich, hydrogen reduced, 50 μm diameter) mixed with PDMS solution, was degassed and casted on top of the first layer and cured for 12 hours at 65°C. Finally, the structured PDMS stamps were removed from the mold.

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.
