Interfacial Analysis of Pulp Chamber

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Interfacial and elemental analysis of the material was performed on the floor and wall of the pulp chamber using SEM and EDX (FEI Quanta 400F, Oregon, United States). At each section, three points were analyzed.
A thin conductive coating of gold was spurted to the polished sections prior to examination in the SEM. The SEM used was FEI Quanta 400F, equipped with an energy-dispersive spectrometer, wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and backscattering electron diffraction. The FEI Quanta 400F was operated under high vacuum mode with gaseous backscatter electron detector. Scanning electron micrographs of the material interfaces were captured at ×500. Quantitative elemental analysis of the products was done by EDX. Lines parallel to the interface at increasing incremental distances of 50 μm up to 400 μm were scanned and spectra collected were used to draw atomic ratio plots.

Cell Attachment and Differentiation Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For both differentiated and undifferentiated groups, cell attachment and differentiation were evaluated via SEM. The cell-seeded scaffolds were washed twice with PBS and fixed with 2.5% glutaraldehyde for 30 min followed by 2% osmium tetroxide treatment for 30 min. After washing steps, the scaffolds were dehydrated in a series of ethanol solutions with increasing concentrations (30% to 100%) and finally dried with hexamethyl disilazane (HDMS). For SEM analysis, the cell-seeded scaffolds were sputter coated with a 5 nm gold layer. A silver/carbon sputter coating was applied to the examined samples. The scaffolds were examined with a Quanta 400F scanning electron microscope (FEI Company, Oregon, USA) (Liu et al. 2013 (link)).

SEM micrographs were recorded with two scanning electron microscopes, i.e. an Apreo S LoVac (Thermo Fisher Scientific) instrument with a segmented STEM (transmission mode) detector, and a FEI Quanta 400F instrument with a secondary electron (SE) detector. Particle were drop-cast onto carbon-coated copper grids and dried in air. Electrically insulating materials were sputter-coated with AuPd (80 : 20) before SEM analysis.

Comprehensive Characterization of Electrode Materials

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The scanning
electron microscopy (SEM) images were captured using a FEI Quanta
400F. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were obtained using a powder
X-ray diffractometer at 40 kV and 30 mA. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
(XPS) tests were performed using a Thermo ESCALAB 250XI. The compressive
stress–strain curves were obtained using a WDW-100 tester at
the compression and release rate of 2 mm/min, with all the samples
measuring 2.0 cm × 2.0 cm × 1.1 cm. Atomic absorption spectrometry
(ICE3000, Thermo Fisher Scientific) was performed to determine the
Fe3O4 load in the electrode. Because the CF
contains N element, the loading amount of PPy is determined by weighing
on a physical balance. N2 adsorption was measured using
an ASAP 2020 surface area and pore analyzer (Micromeritics instrument)
at 77 K; all samples were degassed at 200 °C under vacuum for
8 h.

A Quanta 400F scanning electron microscope (FEI, Hills-borough, OR, USA) was used to determine the pore size and morphology of the surface area of AC by using a JEOLJSM-6360LA and Oxford Instruments Software XT microscope control systems (JEOL USA, Inc.11 Dearborn Road Peabody, MA). A minute amount of the activated charcoal sample was placed on a labelled aluminium stub.

MCF‐7 cells were incubated with 200 nm biotin‐labeled TDN‐3 EpCAM or DNA nanosynapse in BB buffer at 4 °C for 30 min with a final volume of 200 µL. 5 µL Dynabeads of 10 mg mL−1 (65 001, Thermo Fisher Scientific) were then added and continued incubation for another 30 min, followed by magnetic separation. After that, cells were fixed by adding 500 µL glutaraldehyde (2.5%) and incubated overnight at RT. Cells were then washed three times by PBS, and underwent gradient dehydration by exposure to a series of ethanol solutions (30%, 50%, 70%, 90%, 95%, and 100%) for 15 min per turn. Subsequently, cells were treated with 50% HMDS for 15 min, followed by resuspending in 100% HMDS. Cells were added dropwise to silicon wafer and dried in the cupboard overnight. The samples were subjected to gold sputtering and finally imaged by thermal field‐emission environmental scanning electron microscope (Quanta 400F, FEI) at an accelerating voltage of 20 kV.

With the aid of a Lambda 950 UV /VIS /NIR spectrometer, optical characteristics were determined in the wavelength range of 400 to 700 nm (Perkin-Elmer, USA). At room temperature, the structural characteristics of the films were evaluated using an AXS-D8 Advance Cu-K diffractometer (Bruker Corp., USA).

FEI Quanta 400F field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) equipped with Oxford- Instruments INCA 400 X-Max detector for energy–dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) measurements at × 300 magnification (1 mm × 1 mm spot size) and 20 kV accelerating voltage. Finally, the electrical characteristics of films were examined using an HMS ECOPIA 3000 Hall Effect measuring instrument with a 0.57 T magnetic field and 45 nA probe current. We used the Ag paste method to form an ohmic contact by adding Ag dots to each sample's four corners, and then repeated each reading for each sample ten times to improve the reliability of our findings.

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.
