Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
This study examined three types of SNPs: spherical (S-SNPs), mesoporous (M-SNPs) and PEGylated (P-SNPs; PEG, polyethylene glycol). To prepare the S-SNPs, 11.87 ml of ethanol (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 2.1 ml of distilled (DI) water, 0.67 ml of tetraethoxysilane (Sigma-Aldrich) and 0.36 ml of 5 M NH4OH (Sigma-Aldrich) were mixed in a vial and stirred for 24 h.
M-SNPs were synthesized using 53.4 g of DI water, 6.24 g of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (Sigma-Aldrich) and 0.3 g of sodium acetate (Sigma-Aldrich), were mixed well, and then heated in a 65 °C oil bath. After heating for 1 h, 3.9 ml of tetraethoxysilane was slowly added to the mixture and then stirred for 24 h. The resulting suspensions were purified by centrifugation, re-dispersed in ethanol and DI water, and then finally re-dispersed in DI water.
P-SNPs were prepared by surface functionalization of S-SNP. Briefly, thiol-functionalized S-SNP was prepared by adding (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane (10% of tetraethoxysilane) 5 h after the addition of NH4OH during synthesis of S-SNP. After purification, these particles were conjugated with maleimide-functionalized PEG (molecular weight: 2000) in DI water for 24 h (weight ratio: ~0.5:1). Excess amount of PEG was removed by centrifugation and dispersed in DI water to obtain P-SNP.

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.
