All the weak acids (acetic, lactic, sorbic and benzoic) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis. MO, USA). Acid solutions were prepared as 0.1 M stock solutions in PBS (pH 7.4), and titrated to a pH of ∼7 using NaOH solution. Subsequently, the stock solutions were serially diluted to prepare analyte samples, each with a final concentration of 1 fM to 10 μM. Electrical performance of the sensor electrodes was measured by a semiconductor analyzer (Keithley 2612A, Cleveland, OH, USA) and a probe station (MS TECH, model 4000, Seoul, Korea). To monitor the response of CNF-FETs in solution environment, a glass chamber (200-μl volume) was utilized. The chamber was filled with 100 μl of PBS electrolyte (pH 7.4). The gate electrode was immersed in the PBS electrolyte (pH 7.4) and used to bias the sensor to the desired operating point. During the measurement, source-drain bias voltage (VSD) was maintained at −0.01 V with a gate bias of 0.7 V. The solution (3 μl) containing the analyte was consecutively added into the electrolyte chamber and ISD was monitored. The measured ISD was normalized as , where is the measured real-time current and is the initial current.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The strain KPS-11 was inoculated in 100 mL of Pikovskaya’s broth in 500 mL flasks in triplicate and incubated in an orbital shaker at 150 rpm at 28 ± 2°C for up to 10 days (240 h). Twenty micro liter of bacterial culture from each flask was harvested at 5, 7, and 10 days post inoculation, centrifuged at 13,000 × g for 10 min and cell-free supernatant was collected. Phosphate solubilization was determined through Phospho-molybdate blue color method using spectrophotometer (λ = 882 nm) as described by Murphy and Riley (1962) (link). For HPLC analysis, the cell-free supernatant was filtered through 0.2 μm nylon filters (Millipore, USA) and 20 μL was injected to HPLC equipped with Turbochrom software (Perkin Elmer, USA) and C-18 column at a flow rate of 0.6 mL min-1 using 30:1:70 (v/v/v) methanol: acetic acid: water as mobile phase. Signals were detected at 210 nm. The organic acids gluconic, malic, lactic, oxalic, tartaric, and ascorbic acid (Sigma–Aldrich) were used as standard.

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.
