Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were acquired under high vacuum, at 20.00 kV, spot size 3.0–5.0, using a FEI Quanta 400 FEG ESEM equipped with an ETD (SE) detector (FEI Co., Hillsboro, OR). Samples were prepared by introducing 1 drop (about 2 μL) of aqueous suspension (0.1mg/mL) of the particles on the SEM stub (Ted Pella Inc., Redding, CA) and allowing the solvent to dry in air. Samples were sputter-coated with a 10 nm layer of gold using a Plasma Sciences CrC-150 sputtering system (Torr International Inc., New Windsor, NY) before the analysis. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy was performed using a FEI Technai electron microscope (FEI Co.) at a tension of 200 kV. Samples were prepared by placing 1 drop of 0.1 mg mL−1 aqueous suspension of the hybrid nanogel particles on the 300 mesh carbon-coated copper grids (Ted Pella) and allowing the solvent to evaporate in air.

Three
μL of polyplex solution (formulated with pDNA and polymers pMAT-b-AEMA-1, -2, or -3) prepared at N/P = 10 were applied to
a 300-mesh carbon coated copper grid (Ted Pella, Inc., Redding, CA)
and negatively stained with uranyl acetate. Images were saved as TIFF
files and polyplexes sized (excluding polyplexes on image edges) by
counting pixels using Microsoft Paint, and the sizes are plotted in Figure S9.

The samples were examined in the high contrast mode on a Hitachi High-Tech HT7700 transmission electron microscope (Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) at 120 kV accelerating voltage. The instrument is equipped with a Bruker EDX detector that allows elemental analysis and a SAED aperture that could be used to collect diffraction patterns directly during the sample inspection. A drop of each colloidal AgNPs solution was placed on a 300-mesh carbon-coated copper grid (Ted Pella) and vacuum-dried at room temperature for 24 h prior to examination.

Characterization of LPH Nanoparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The size and surface charge of LPH cores and final particles were determined by using a Malvern ZS90 Zetasizer (Worcestershire, UK). Transmission electron microscope images of LPH were acquired through the use of JEOL 100CX II transmission electron microscope (Tokyo, Japan). Briefly, freshly prepared LPH nanoparticles (5 μl) were carefully dropped onto a 300-mesh carbon-coated copper grid (Ted Pella, Inc., Redding, CA) and allowed to stand at room temperature for 5 min. Grids were then stained with 1% uranyl acetate (5 μl) and allowed to incubate briefly (10 s) and quickly dry. All images were acquired at an accelerating voltage of 100 kV.

Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of LPH were acquired through the use of JEOL 100CX II TEM (Tokyo, Japan). Briefly, freshly prepared LPH nanoparticles (5 μL) were carefully dropped onto a 300-mesh carbon-coated copper grid (Ted Pella, Inc., Redding, Calif.) and allowed to stand at room temperature for 5 min. Grids were then stained with 1% uranyl acetate (5 μL) and allowed to incubate briefly (10 seconds) and quickly dry. All images were acquired at an accelerating voltage of 100 kV.

The size distribution and the zeta potential of particles were deter mined using a Malvern ZetaSizer Nano series (Westborough, MA). Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of polymet-CDDP NPs were acquired through the use of JEOL 100CX II TEM (Tokyo, Japan). Briefly, freshly prepared polymet-CDDP NPs (20 μL) were carefully dropped onto a 300-mesh carbon-coated copper grid (Ted Pella, Inc., Redding, CA) and allowed to stand at room temperature for 15 min and then removed the assess liquid using a dry filter paper. Images were acquired at an accelerating voltage of 100 kV.

Characterization of IEP-PEG Nanoparticles

Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of IEP core particles were acquired by JEOL 100CX II TEM (Tokyo, Japan). The Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) results were obtained by JEOL 2010F FaSTEM, 200kV accelerating voltage connected to Oxford X-mas system. A 300 mesh carbon coated copper grid (Ted Pella, Inc., Redding, CA) was used to prepare samples for TEM and EDS. The particle size and zeta potential of final, lipid coated IEP-PEG nanoparticles were determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) using a Malvern ZetaSizer Nano series (Westborough, MA). Encapsulation efficiency (EE) of EP was measured by a UV/Vis spectrophotometer (Beckman Coulter Inc., DU 800). The mass spectrum was obtained using LCMS (Shimadzu).

Characterization of DAC and c-DAC Nanostructures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The surface morphology of DAC and
c-DAC samples was characterized by a scanning electron microscopy
instrument (SEM, Zeiss, LEO 1550 SFEG) equipped with energy-dispersive
X-ray analysis (EDX) for elemental mapping (EHT = 2.5 kV). TEM images
of these samples were acquired using a transmission electron microscopy
instrement (TEM, JEOL, JEM-1400) operated at 80 kV. The sample preparation
for TEM measurements was as follows: DAC and c-DAC suspensions were
diluted to 0.01 wt% and subsequently sonicated for 1 h. Then, 10 μL
of suspension was deposited onto a carbon-coated 300-mesh copper grid
(Ted Pella Inc.), followed by staining using a drop of 2.0 wt% uranyl
acetate for 10 s. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific
surface areas of DAC and c-DAC were analyzed via the N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms using a NOVAtouch LX2 (Quantachrome)
instrument. The zeta potentials of DAC and c-DAC suspensions (0.1
wt%) were measured via a Zetaprobe analyzer (Colloidal Dynamics) to
investigate their surface charge.

When noted, samples
were centrifuged at 14,000g for 45 min to remove
fibrils for improved contrast of smaller aggregates. Supernatant or
whole solution samples (5 μL) were deposited to a previously
discharged carbon-coated 300 mesh copper grid (Ted Pella, Inc.) and
allowed to sit for 5 min. The excess liquid was washed with water
and removed with filter paper. Grids were then negatively stained
for 2 min with 2% uranyl acetate, and excess liquid was removed with
filter paper and again washed. The negatively stained samples were
dried in air and imaged on an FEI Tecnai T12 transmission electron
microscope operated at 120 kV. Images of the total solution (without
centrifugation) were also obtained by the same method.

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.
