25-mm circular glass coverslips were treated first with ethanol, then RCA solution (1:1:3 for 15N NH4OH:30% H2O2:dH2O), and functionalized with 1% allyltrichlorosilane and 1% triethylamine in chloroform solution. N,N′methylene-bis-acrylamide (Sigma) and the acrylamide solution (40%, Sigma) was mixed at the final concentrations in PBS. For 1 kPa gels, 3% acrylamide and 0.11% bisacrylamide was used and for 34 kPa, % acrylamide and 0.3% bisacrylamide was used. Solution was polymerized on a coverslip with 0.1% ammonium persulfate and 0.1% N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine. During polymerization, gels were covered with another coverslip that was pretreated with dichlorodimethylsilane. Sulfo-Sanpah (Pierce) was diluted in HEPES buffer pH 8.0 to 0.5 mg/mL and 300 uL was added to the gel and then reacted using 365 nm UV light for 10 min. Excess Sulfo-Sanpah was removed by 2 washes of buffer. Type I rat-tail collagen was diluted to 0.2 mg/mL in HEPES buffer pH 8.0 and incubated with the gel at 4°C for 4 hours. Collagen was removed and the gel was equilibrated with PBS. MSCs were plated onto gels within 24 hours of collagen attachment.

Fabrication of Heat-Responsive Egg White Phantom

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Based on previously described methods [16 (link)], an egg white-based, heat-responsive phantom was fabricated in the study. It was nearly transparent at room temperature. When heated up to 60°C, the phantom became a visibly opaque lesion because of the denaturation and coagulation of egg white protein.
The phantom consisted of 15% acrylamide solution (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), 40% egg white, 44.5% degassed deionized water, and 0.5% ammonium persulfate solution (Sigma-Aldrich). After the mixed solution was degassed for 10 min, 0.2 mL MSNC-PFH nanoemulsion was added and then stirred gently to achieve a uniform distribution. The concentration of droplets was 107 droplets/mL in the phantom. In comparison, the same amount of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) was added as a control (PBS-control) without MSNC-PFH nanoemulsion. Finally, 0.15 mL 1,2-bis(dimethylamino)ethane (Sigma-Aldrich) was added to the entire solution to initiate polymerization. The phantom was kept in a 12°C water bath during polymerization period. The dimensions of each phantom used in the experiments were around 6 × 5 × 3.3 cm.

Acrylamide was analyzed in triplicate following the method by Galani et al. (2017) with slight modifications. A HPLC system (Agilent 1200 series, Santa Clara, CA, USA) equipped with an auto sampler and a diode array detector was used. Two microliters of sample were injected by auto sampler and separated using a Zorbax 300 Extend C18 analytical column (2.1 mm x 100 mm, 3.5 µm) (Santa Clara, California, USA). Formic acid (Sigma-Aldrich, F0507) (0.1% in water) was used as mobile phase with flow rate of 0.1 mL/min. The running time was 5 min and retention time of acrylamide was at 3.4 min. Acrylamide solution (Sigma-Aldrich, A9099) (1 mg/mL) was prepared, then a series of acrylamide concentrations (1 to 100 g/mL) were prepared from the stock solution. The position of the acrylamide peak in reaction mixtures was confirmed by spiking. All test samples were diluted in Milli-Q water to be within the standard range and filtered with Nylon filter (0.45 µm) (Sigma-Aldrich Co., St. Louis, MO, USA) and transferred to a vial for chromatography analysis.

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.
