The particle size distribution (PSD) of plant PIH was determined using a 90Plus Nanoparticle Size Analyzer (Brookhaven Instruments, Holtsville, NY, US). The particle sizes of the samples were analyzed using the method proposed by Win and Feng [28 (link)]. A sample solution (0.5% w/v) was prepared by dissolving the required amount of sample in secondary water (dd water), and stirred at 25 °C for 20 min. Then, the sample solution was diluted 10 times with secondary water and centrifuged at 12,000× g for 20 min at 25 °C. The supernatant (3 mL) was injected into a cuvette to measure particle size. Specifically, the laser light hits the particle and generates scattered light, and the detector measures the intensity change of the scattered light to calculate the particle size. The signal range is 1 nm–10 µm. All measurements were repeated three times (n = 3).

Particle size distributions (PSDs) of PPI and PPIH were obtained on the basis of the method of Win and Feng [42 (link)] using a 90Plus Nanoparticle Size Analyzer (Brookhaven Instruments, Holtsville, New York, NY, USA). PPI and PPIH solutions (0.05% w/v) were prepared using the required number of samples solubilized in dd water and stirred for 20 min at 25 °C. The PPI and PPIH solutions were centrifuged at 12,000× g for 20 min at 25 °C. The supernatants of the PPI and PPIH solutions (3 mL) were loaded into a cuvette to measure particle size. By using the principles of dynamic light scattering, the PSD was obtained from the velocity distribution of particles suspended in a dispersing medium. The signal was analyzed with sizes ranging from 1 nm to 10 µm. Each sample was analyzed in triplicate.

Characteristic surface plasmon resonances of GNRs were
recorded in the wavelength region of 400 to 900 nm, using a
Perkin Elmer spectrophotometer (Lambda 25). For Fourier-
transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, samples
of bare GNRs, silica, and folic acid modified GNRs were
made into a dry powder by a lyophilizer (LYSFME-Snijders
scientific). Spectra were recorded on a NICOLET IR 100

For transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
characterization, purified and surface modified GNRs
were deposited on carbon-coated copper grids and imaged
utilizing TEM (LEO 906, Zeiss).
The dynamic light scattering (DLS) was performed
by Brookhaven 90Plus Nanoparticle Size Analyzer to
identify the effective diameter and size distribution of
GNRs. The surface charge of F-Si-GNR was measured
with Zeta potential measurements in water (NICOMP
380ZLS Zeta potential/Particle sizer).

Photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS), also known as dynamic light scattering (DLS), was used to determine the average hydrodynamic diameter (HDD) and polydispersity index (PDI) of each batch of nanoparticles (90 Plus Nanoparticle Size Analyzer; 35 mV red diode laser source, ʎ = 640 nm; Brookhaven Instruments Corporations, Holtsville, NY, USA). Each suspension sample was diluted with DDW to yield an appropriate scattering intensity of 100–400 kcps. All measurements were performed three times at 25 °C with angle detection fixed at 90° on 2 mL samples.
The zeta potential (ZP) of the synthesized nanoparticles was determined by electrophoretic laser Doppler anemometry with the 90 Plus Particle Size Analyzer (Brookhaven Instruments Corporation). Suspension samples were prepared as described before and analyzed in triplicate. All results are shown as the mean and standard deviation (s.d.) of the values obtained from three different batches.

Particle sizes were measured using DLS analysis via the 90Plus Nanoparticle Size Analyzer (Brookhaven Instruments Corp., Long Island, NY), using 658 nm light observed at a fixed angle of 90° at 20 °C. Confirmation of the components of the nanoparticle formulations was determined by RP-HPLC on an Agilent (Santa Clara, CA) 1200 series system with a Zorbax C3 column with an IPA gradient in the mobile phase. The column was monitored with a diode array detector from 200 to 400 nm wavelengths. Extruded nanoparticles were compared with equivalent samples of the base components to confirm that the resulting formulations were composed of intended ratios of the individual lipids and conjugates and that the stoichiometries that were used for synthesis of the particles were conserved in the final product.

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.
