To undertake the ideal mobility analysis, D* measurements are required. The pulsed gradient stimulated echo nuclear magnetic resonance (PGSTE-NMR) method allows D* to be measured as a function of a species' NMR signal decay. 30 The details of the method have been reported elsewhere. 9, 24, 31 All NMR experiments were performed at a temperature of 298 K on a Bruker DMX 300 operating at a 1 H frequency of 300.13 MHz. The NMR diffusion experiments were carried out using a diffusion probe capable of producing magnetic field gradient pulses up to 11.76 T m À1 in the z-direction. The duration of the 901 pulse of the 1 H nuclei was 4.8 ms. A Bruker Variable Temperature unit, BVT 3000, was used to set the required temperature.
Self-diffusion measurements of the ethanol (1)/toluene (2)/n-decane (3) mixtures were conducted using the PGSTE pulse sequence. 32 Measurements were performed by holding the gradient pulse duration (d) constant and varying the gradient strength (g). The observation time (D) was set to 50 ms. All NMR spectra were referenced to bulk liquid TMS. 15) and (16).

Assessing Water Mobility in Dairy Products

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Water mobility was assessed at d 1 for milk and at d 1, 9, and 23 after production for yogurts using 1 H-LF-NMR. The NMR measurements were realized at 20 MHz in a Minispeq Mq20 (Bruker Optik GmbH). The 10-mm probe was equipped with a temperature unit BVT 3000 (Bruker Optik GmbH) allowing all samples to be maintained at 4°C during measurement. The Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill sequence was used to induce transversal relaxation signal decays on protons. The sequence was composed of 32 consecutive scans; the pulse separation (τ) was 0.5 ms, and the relaxation delay was 10 s. Laplace transformation was then performed on signal decays (Contin, Brucker). Data were fitted with 500 points from 0.1 to 2,000 ms. The transversal relaxation time constant [T 2 (i)] and the relative intensity [I 2 (i)] of each individual proton pool were obtained. The peak position on the relaxation time axis was defined as T 2 (i), and the area under the peak gave the relative intensity [I 2 (i)] of each pool when divided by the total area under the spectrum (Han et al., 2009; (link)Gilbert et al., 2020a) . Each sample was measured in triplicate.

All chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich or Alfa Aesar unless otherwise stated and were used without further purification. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded using a Bruker Advance III 500 MHz (11.4 T) spectrometer equipped with 5 mm PABBO probes and BVT-3000 temperature control unit. Chemical shifts δ are reported relative to TMS and were referenced using the residual proton solvent resonances. HPLC analyses and mass spectra were performed on a Waters HPLC-MS system equipped with a Waters 1525 binary pump. Analytical measurements were carried out on a Waters XTerra MS C18 (5 μm 4.6 × 100 mm) and on a Waters C18 XTerra Prep (5 μm 19 × 50 mm) for preparative purposes. Electrospray ionization mass spectra (ESI MS) were recorded using an SQD 3100 Mass Detector (Waters), operating in positive or negative ion mode, with 1% v/v formic acid in methanol as the carrier solvent.

CW-EPR spectra were collected at X-band on a Bruker EMX CW-EPR spectrometer using an ER041xG microwave bridge and ER4119-HS cavity coupled with a BVT 3000 nitrogen gas temperature controller. Each spin-labeled CW-EPR spectrum was acquired by signal averaging 20 42-s field scans with a central field of 3315 G and sweep width of 100 G, modulation frequency of 100 kHz, modulation amplitude of 1 G, and microwave power of 10 mW at temperatures 296 K and 318 K. Data were analyzed using the methods outlined in the literature. (Stepien et al., 2015 ; Camargos and Alonso, 2013 ; Tan et al., 2015 (link)) The order parameters were calculated using S = 0.5407 × (Amax − Amin)/a0, a0 = (Amax + 2Amin)/3, where Amax and Amin are maximum and minimum hyperfine interaction parameters (Tan et al., 2015 (link)). Figure S4 shows the measurement of Amax and Amin from an EPR spectrum. The membrane has a crystal structure when the order parameter (S) is equal to 1. If the order parameter is equal to zero, the membrane is in total disorder.

TD-NMR Relaxometry of Nanoparticle Dispersions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All TD-NMR relaxation experiments were performed at 303 K using a 0.5 T (19.9 MHz proton Larmor frequency) Bruker Minispec mq20 NMR spectrometer equipped with a BVT3000 temperature control system working with nitrogen gas. The temperature was calibrated using an external thermometer with an accuracy of 1 K. The precision is 0.1 K and the temperature is stable within that range during the measurements. All the nanoparticles were studied at different concentrations by preparing a stock dispersion at high concentration and then performing separate dilutions. For each concentration, we inserted 0.15 mL of water dispersion in a 10 mm NMR tube and sonicated it before taking measurements.
For the measurement of the transverse relaxation curve of water protons, the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) pulse sequence was used, acquiring 3000 points with a spacing of 4 ms between successive echoes with a full phase cycle and averaging with at least 16 scans.

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.
