Total polyphenols were determined using the procedure described by [26 (link)]. According to this, phenolic compounds were oxidized by the Folin–Ciocalteu reagent (Panreac, Barcelona, Spain), resulting in a blue color. The reaction was carried out in an alkaline medium; for this, sodium carbonate was added to the samples and the absorbance was measured at 725 nm by UV-vis spectrophotometry model Evolution 201 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Walthman, MA, USA). Total content of polyphenols was obtained using a calibration line from a standard solution of gallic acid 1-hydrate (Panreac, Barcelona, Spain), and was expressed as mg-eq· gallic acid·L−1.
Flavonoid compounds were determined by a spectrophotometric method described by [27 (link)]. For this, the following reagents were used: NaNO2, AlCl3·6H2O and NaOH. As an external standard, a 1 g·L−1 catechin stock, (+)-catechin hydrate (Sigma Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany) in MilliQ water was used. The absorbance value was measured at 510 nm using UV-vis spectrophotometry model Evolution 201 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Walthman, MA, USA). Total content of flavonoids was calculated by extrapolating the values obtained in the calibration line.

The decolorization of purified arabinoxylan extract was tested using two methods: adsorption by activated charcoal and reaction with hydrogen peroxide. In the first case, freeze-dried extract was used to prepare an arabinoxylan solution (2% w/v) with deionized water to which activated charcoal was added (0.5% or 2% w/v). The mixture was stirred for 1 h at room temperature and then filtered. Absorption spectra were measured before and after contact with activated charcoal using a spectrophotometer (Evolution 201, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).
When using hydrogen peroxide, the arabinoxylan solution (2% w/v) was firstly heated up to 45 °C and hydrogen peroxide (10% v/vfinal) was added. The mixture was left at 45 °C for 2 h under stirring and absorption spectra were measured before and after the reaction.

The anthocyanins were determined by following the method of Lee et al. [13 (link)] with some amendments. In short, 0.1 g of each freeze-dried sample was dissolved in 10 mL of 60% ethanol containing 1% citric acid and thoroughly mixed with vortex and absorbance was measured at 535 nm using the spectrophotometer (Evolution 201, Thermo, Waltham, MA, USA). Cyanidine 3-O-Glucoside chloride (C3G) was used as a standard to create the curve and TAC was measured as mg C3G Equiv./ g DW.

BSA Rejection Test of β-CD/CS Membranes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The BSA rejection test of the β-CD/CS porous membranes was characterized using 1 g/L BSA solution. The experiment was carried out at 0.1 MPa with the temperature at (25 ± 1) °C and the permeate was collected for 10 min. The BSA concentration in feed and permeate was determined by an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (Evolution 201, Thermo Fisher Scientific Co., Ltd., Waltham, MA, USA) at 280 nm. The rejection rate was obtained by Equation (2): R=CoCeCo×100%
where R (%) is the rejection rate. Co (mg/L) and Ce (mg/L) are the concentration of feed and permeation solutions, respectively.

Spectroscopic Analysis of PTX-Loaded NPs

FITC-HA-BSA conjugates (40 µM) and (80 µM) PTX-loaded FITC-HA-BSA NPs (40 µM) were prepared as described above. The absorbance spectra of these samples, and of the dispersion of PTX alone (stock solution added to buffer only), were measured. The summation of the absorbance of PTX and of FITC-HA-BSA conjugates was calculated and compared to the absorbance of (80 µM) PTX-loaded FITC-HA-BSA NPs (40 µM). The spectroscopic measurements were performed using Evolution 201, UV-Visible spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Bargal, Shoham, Israel).

Melamine Sponge Oil-Water Separation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pristine and protonated melamine sponges were fixed between two glass vessels having a diameter of 34 mm. The compressed melamine sponge was fixed in a syringe having a diameter of 19 mm. All sponges used for oil/water separations were pre-wetted with water. The oil/water mixtures were poured into the filter and the separation was performed driven by gravity. The filtrate water was collected and its oil content determined using gas chromatography with flame ionization detection [GC/FID; 5890 (HP) and 7890 (Agilent)]. The oil rejection ratios in the filtrate from the surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions were determined by measuring the oil contents in the feed and corresponding filtrates, using a UV–Vis spectrophotometer (Evolution 201, Thermo Scientific; the oil was dyed with Sudan Blue II).

Characterizing Sintered Glass Density and Shrinkage

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The density ρ of the sintered glass parts was measured by the Archimedes principle using a lab scale Quintix 124‐1S and a density kit analytical balance YDK03 (Sartorius AG, Germany). The sintered fused silica parts were weighed in the dry state (m). Afterward, they were immersed in DI water (T = 20.5 °C) with a small amount of surfactant and the buoyancy mass mb was determined. The density was calculated using following equation, with ρH2O being the density of water
ρ=mρH2Omb
The shrinkage was determined by measuring three different FDM‐printed parts in the green part stage and after sintering with a caliper. The theoretical linear shrinkage Ys can be calculated in dependence of the solid loading Φ, theoretical density ρt, and final density ρf of the manufactured object using following equation
Ys=1Φρt/ρf13
Optical inline transmission was determined by using a UV–vis spectrometer of type Evolution 201 (Thermo Scientific, Germany) and an FTIR spectrometer of type Frontier 100 MIR‐FTIR (Perkin Elmer, Germany). Total UV–vis transmission and reflectance were measured using a UV–vis–NIR spectrophotometer of type UV‐3600i Plus (Shimadzu, Japan) equipped with an integrating sphere attachment of type ISR‐1503 (Shimadzu, Japan). Fused silica glass slides (2 mm thickness, Toppan Photomasks, Inc., USA) were used as a reference sample for all measurements.

SrGO Membrane Performance for Water Purification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The membrane module used for electrochemically assisted filtration was schematically shown in Figure S1. The water permeance (P) of the SrGO membranes was calculated following the equation of P = V/(StΔp), where V was the water volume (L) penetrating the membrane in a time interval (t, h), S was the effective membrane area (m2), and Δp was the transmembrane pressure difference (bar).
Dye solutions (Evans blue (EB), Congo red (CR) or methyl blue (MB), 10 mg L−1), humic acid (HA, 10 mg L−1), salt solutions (CuSO4, Cr (NO3)3 or Cd (NO3)2, 1 mM), and dye/salt mixed solution (MB (10 mg L−1), CuSO4 (0.5 mM), Cr (NO3)3 (0.5 mM) and Cd (NO3)2 (0.5 mM)) were used to evaluate the separation performance of the SrGO membranes. To eliminate the contribution of adsorption to the rejection, the SrGO membranes were soaked in the solutions for 24 h before filtration. The concentrations of dyes and HA in filtrate were measured by an UV-visible spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific Evolution 201), and the concentration of Cu2+, Cr3+ and Cd2+ was measured by an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (Agilent 7850). The rejection ratio (R) was calculated following the equation of R = (C0C)/C0, where C0 and C were the concentrations of dyes, HA or metal ions in feed and filtrate, respectively.

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.
