Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Based on methods previously published (37 (link)–39 (link)) with modifications as follows. In brief, 100 μL untreated biofilm was grown for 20 hr. The plates were gently submerged in 1X PBS (Molecular Biologicals International, Irvine, CA, USA) three times to rinse off the culture and non-adherent bacteria. Ciprofloxacin with or without LxA4 in M63 media was added (125 μL) and incubated with pre-formed biofilm for 6 hr, then rinsed in 1X PBS three times. Thiazolyl Blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) (Alfa Aesar, Tewksbury, MA, USA) stock solution was made to a concentration of 5 mg/mL in 1X PBS, and a working solution was made in M63 to a final concentration of 0.45 mg/mL. 150 μL of this MTT working solution was plated and incubated for 4 hr at 37°C. The solution was pipetted from the plate, and 175 μL of solubilization solution (alkaline DMSO: 0.5mM NaOH in DMSO) was incubated for 30m at 37°C. The solubilized formazan was transferred to flat-bottom microtiter plates and OD570 was measured to quantify the formazan, reflecting the relative amount of metabolically active bacterial cells in the biofilm.

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.
