The levels of Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb and Se in dried seaweed were analyzed by microwave digestion and ICP-OES based on our previous report26 (link). Briefly, the samples (0.5~2 g) and 6 ml nitric acid were transferred to Teflon-PFA vessels. Samples were digested at180 °C for 30 min by a MARS Xpress Microwave Digestion System (MARS 6, CEM Corporation, Mathews, NC, USA).Afterward, the digested solutions were evaporated to 0.5 ml with an electro-thermal plate and finally diluted to 5 or 10 ml with de-ion water for instrumental analysis. The solution was analysis by ICP-OES (Agilent 720ES, Agilent technologies Inc., USA). Limits of detection (LODs) were defined as 3 times the standard deviation of 10 runs of blank measurements. LODs of Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb and Se were 0.015, 0.012, 0.009, 0.008, 0.009, 0.005, 0.007, 0.008, 0.010 and 0.045 mg/kg respectively.

Mice bearing U-87 MG tumors were injected with 40 µg of 10B equivalent from aza-SWIR-BSH-01 or 10B-BSH condition (n = 3/group).

After complete mineralization, the samples were diluted with HNO3 (5%, w/w) to reach a 3 mL volume and finally filtered at 0.2 µm for the measurements. The results were expressed as µg of 10B/g of tumor. The experiments were performed at the ISTerre platform, Grenoble.

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.
