Trypan blue powder

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Trypan Blue powder is a laboratory reagent used for cell counting and viability staining. It is a blue diazo dye that selectively stains dead cells, allowing them to be distinguished from live cells under a microscope. The powder form can be dissolved in an appropriate buffer solution for use in cell culture and other applications.

Synthesis and Photophysical Characterization of PTZ Compounds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The synthetic procedures of o-PTZ, m-PTZ, and p-PTZ compounds have been already described
in a previous paper.29 (link) Spectral and photophysical
characterizations were performed in several solvents of spectroscopic
grade obtained from Sigma-Aldrich: pentane (Pent), n-hexane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, 3-methylpentane, toluene
(Tol), ethyl acetate (EtAc), acetone, acetonitrile, and dimethyl sulfoxide
(DMSO). Spectral and photophysical measurements were also carried
out in DMSO and water (W) mixtures. The host–guest doping materials
were prepared by the melt-casting method. The host and guest materials
mixed according to the desired molar ratio were placed in an oxygen-free
sealed and clean reaction tube and then heated to melt. The temperature
was determined by the melting point of the host compounds triphenylphosphine
(TPP, 81.7 °C) or benzophenone (BPO, 48.5 °C).30 (link) Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium
(DMEM), fetal bovine serum (FBS), Trypsin, and penicillin/streptomycin
were purchased from Euroclone (Pero, Italy). Trypan Blue powder and
3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT)
were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Saint Louis, MO) and Becton, Dickinson
and Company (Franklin Lakes, NJ).

Agarose Gel Phantom for Catheter Implantation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Agarose gel (0.6%) was prepared by mixing molecular grade agarose gel (Severn Biotech LTD, UK) with concentrated Tris Borate-ETDA buffer (Severn Biotech, UK) and deionised water. The mixture was heated in a microwave for 5minutes, stirred and then heated further until all powder had fully dissolved. The heated solution was decanted into 50x50x150 clear, rectangular acrylic containers (Volume:375ml) and left to cool and solidify to room temperature. A 3mm acrylic lid was secured to the pot and used to simulate the skull, allowing the recessed step catheter to be press fit into the acrylic plate, mimicking the implantation procedure.
Trypan Blue powder (Sigma Aldrich ® ) was weighted and dissolved in deionised water to a concentration of 0.4% and used as a high visual contrast infusate.

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.
