Ion Chromatography Analysis of Medium

First, 5 mL of medium was collected from each sample, and the concentration of anions (Cl, NO3, and SO42−) and cations (Ca2+, K+, Mg2+, and Na+) were analyzed on the DX600A ion chromatograph (Dionex, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). The medium were filtered through 25TF PURADISC™ membrane filters (Whatman, Little Chalfont, UK) with a diameter of 0.45 µm. Using the AS40 autosampler, solutions were introduced into IonPac analytical columns. The AS9-HC column (4 × 250 mm) and a liquid phase consisting of a 9 mM solution of Na2CO3 were used for the determination of anions. The concentrations of the cations were determined using a CS-12A column (4 × 250 mm) with 20 mM methanesulfonic acid (MSA, Sigma–Aldrich, Munich, Germany) as the eluent. The flow rate of the eluent through the column in both cases was 1 mL/min. The separated ions were identified by the ED50 detector, and the ion concentrations were analyzed using the PeakNet software (Dionex, USA).

ε-Caprolactone (ε-CL, 99%, Sigma-Aldrich) was stirred over CaH2 for 24 h at room temperature and then it was distilled at reduced pressure under nitrogen. α-Methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)44-ω-hydroxide (MeO–PEG44–OH, Mn = 2000 g/mol) was dried by co-evaporation with anhydrous toluene using a rotary evaporator. Methane sulfonic acid (MSA) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, and was used without further purification. Rabbit α-tubulin antibody and mouse β-Actin were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich; rabbit anti-CD31 (GB11063-2) was purchased from Servicebio; rabbit anti-Bcl-2 antibody and rabbit anti-Ki67 were purchased from Bioss; rabbit anti-MDR1/ABCB1 (E1Y7B) antibody was purchased from Cell Signaling Technology; horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies were obtained from Cell signaling Technology. LysoTracker® Red DND-99 and DAPI were obtained from Thermo Scientific. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection kit and Annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection kit were purchased from Biovision. ECL western blotting detection kit was purchased from Millipore.

Purification and Preparation of Analytical Standards

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nitric acid (analytical grade, 65%; Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) was purified at sub-boiling (s.b.) grade by a PTFE distillation system (DST-1000 Acid Purification System, Savillex, Eden Prairie, MN, US). Water used for standards and sample preparation was of ultrapure grade (type 1) with 18.2 MΩ cm resistivity, produced by a Milli-Q system (Merk-Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). Intermediate metal standard solutions were prepared from 1000 mg L -1 stock solutions (Sigma-Aldrich TraceCERT, Buchs, Switzerland). For the preparation of the cationic/anionic standards, the following chemicals at purity > 99% have been used: NH 4 Cl (Merck), NaAc (Carlo Erba, Cornaredo, Italy), NaFor (Merck), malonic acid (Aldrich), Na 2 Ox (Carlo Erba), NaNO 3 (Sigma-Aldrich), Na 2 SO 4 (Alfa Aesar, Kandel, Germany), Na 3 PO 4 •12H 2 O (Carlo Erba), and NaNO 2 (Merck). For ion chromatography, KOH (Merck) and methanesulfonic acid (MSA, Sigma-Aldrich) were used for the preparation of the mobile phases. Fe(NO 3 ) 3 •9H 2 O (Carlo Erba, for analysis grade) and K 2 Ox•H 2 O (Carlo Erba, ≥ 99.5%) were used for the voltammetric study of Fe 3+ -Ox system, using NaCl (Merck, for analysis grade) as ionic strength buffer and NaOH (Merck, ≥ 98%) to correct the pH of solutions.

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.
