Apatite Formation on Porous Titanium

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cylindrical specimens of the porous Ti metals subjected to the various treatments given in Table 1 were broken and soaked in 30 mL of a simulated body fluid (SBF) having ion concentrations close to those of human blood plasma (Na+ = 142.0, K+ = 5.0, Mg2+ = 1.5, Ca2+ = 2.5, Cl = 147.8, HCO3 = 4.2, HPO42– = 1.0, and SO42– = 0.5 mM) [19] (link), [20] (link) at 36.5°C. The SBF was prepared by dissolving reagent-grade NaCl, NaHCO3, KCl, K2HPO4·3 H2O, MgCl2.6 H2O, CaCl2, and Na2SO4 (Nacalai Tesque Inc., Japan). After 1 day, the specimens were removed from the SBF solution, gently washed with ultrapure water and dried in an oven at 40°C. Formation of apatite on their surfaces was examined by SEM and TF-XRD analysis.

Bovine Oocyte In Vitro Fertilization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After in vitro maturation, the COCs were transferred into a 15 ml tube containing 2 ml of HEPES-TLP-PVA supplemented with 0.1% (w/v) hyaluronidase (Sigma) and vortexed for
90 sec to remove cumulus cells from oocytes. Denuded oocytes were transferred to droplets (80 µl) of fertilization medium in groups of 15 to 20 under paraffin oil in a 35 mm polystyrene
dish. The fertilization medium was composed of 114.0 mM NaCl (Nacalai), 3.2 mM KCl (Nacalai), 6.76 mM CaCl2·2H2O (Nacalai), 0.5 mM MgCl2·6H2O
(Nacalai), 0.1 mM sodium pyruvate, 10.0 mM sodium lactate (Sigma), 0.35 mM NaH2PO4·2H2O (Nacalai), 5.0 mM D-glucose, 25.0 mM NaHCO3 (Nacalai),
0.3% (w/v) bovine serum albumin (Fraction V; Sigma), 100 µg/ml amikacin sulfate, and 2.0 mM caffeine (Sigma). The frozen spermatozoa were thawed immediately before insemination, as described
above. HEPES-TLP-PVA containing frozen-thawed spermatozoa was centrifuged at 760 ×g for 10 min at 38°C, and the supernatant was removed. The precipitated spermatozoa were
gently suspended in the fertilization medium at a concentration of 3.5 × 107 spermatozoa/ml, and 20 µl of this sperm suspension was introduced into the 80 µl droplet that
contained denuded oocytes at a final concentration of 7.0 × 106 spermatozoa/ml. The oocytes and spermatozoa were then cultured for 12 h at 38.5°C in an atmosphere with 5%
CO2 in air.

After being removed from the SBF, the samples were gently rinsed with ultrapure water and dried, then their surface apatite formation was analysed using TF-XRD, FE-SEM and EDX.

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.
