SERS Characterization of Molecule-BO Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The SERS measurements were carried out using a Senterra dispersive Raman microscope (BRUKER). Confocal Raman spectroscopy was used to acquire SERS of the molecule-BO samples. Raman scattering was detected using a Peltier-cooled (−70°C) CCD camera (255 × 1024 pixels), focusing only within the fingerprint regions (500 to 1800 cm−1). Detection was carried out using 180° geometry and a near-infrared diode laser (785 nm) for the excitation. The spectrometer was equipped with a diffraction grating (1200 grooves/mm), and the slit provided a spectral resolution of 2 cm−1. The laser power at the sample ranged from 1 to 10 mW, and the acquisition time ranged from 1 to 5 s. The area of the laser spot on the samples was approximately 1 μm in diameter. The molecular markers with 1 μM concentration in ethanol were drop-casted on the BO sample surface before the measurement. The setup was calibrated using built-in templates and internal Raman standards.

The morphology
of the as-synthesized
samples was characterized using FE-SEM and TEM. The structural properties
were characterized using Raman spectra (Senterra dispersive Raman

BP. UV–vis spectroscopy was performed on a
PerkinElmer LAMBDA 750 spectrometer equipped with a 150 mm integrating
sphere. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
images of the ultratomed (at −120 °C) cross sections of
PC substrates coated with Ch-LCs were observed using a FEI Tecnai
T12 microscope, with an operating voltage of 100 kV. For atomic

The as-tested electrodes and interlayers disassembled were washed several times with a DOL/DME mixture in a volume ratio of 1:1 and dried in a vacuum oven at 60 °C overnight prior to the ex situ FESEM-EDX, RAMAN, and XRD measurement.

Raman spectra were recorded with a Bruker Senterra Dispersive Raman microscope equipped with a Neon lamp and using a Nd:YAG laser with excitation at λ = 785 nm and 10 mW power at sample point. The microscope is coupled with a CCD 1 × 1 camera thermoelectrically cooled to −50 °C. A 40× magnification objective (Olympus) was employed and the laser spot size on sample was 1 μm. Each Raman spectrum was the average of 20 scans (4 accumulations of 10 seconds each) with a 3–5 cm−1 resolution. Sample integrity was checked after each measurement and spectra were registered at different temperatures, from 300 K to liquid N2 temperature, using a Linkam variable temperature sample cell. Samples were measured directly in the holder, in bulk and without previous preparation. Baseline correction was performed with OPUS 6.5 software.

Micro-Raman Spectroscopy for Residual Stress Mapping

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Micro-Raman spectroscopy is capable of characterizing types of stresses (Tensile/Compressive) within a small measurement spot size, below 5 μm in diameter, and a submicron spatial resolution30 . Although Micro-Raman spectroscopy was mostly being used in chemical composition studies as a complementary technique to other methods, deducing crystallinity information is advantageous to this technique as a non-destructive method to measure residual stress29 . Raman spectra were obtained using a Bruker SENTERRA, Dispersive Raman Microscope having a central wavelength of 532 nm as an excitation source. The Raman shift measurements were taken perpendicularly along the IRS of several samples at 10 μm intervals. Through the known relationship between the Raman shift and stress, the stress distributions on the laser-treated samples were determined.

Raman technique was used to evaluate drug interactions and changes in the formulations. For each given sample, 2 cm × 2 cm area of lyophilized powder was transferred onto microscopic glass and then pressed by hand to get a flat surface of the material. Powder chemical analysis was done by Raman point-by-point mapping experiments using a Senterra dispersive Raman microscope (Bruker Optics, Germany) equipped with a 785 nm laser using maximum laser power (100 mW). Integration time was set to 10 s per spectrum with 2 co-additions. Mapping spectra were extracted directly from the experiment as the average of 2 spectra of each point. The objective used was a 20× confocal objective (Olympus Microscope, Japan) with a 50 µm pinhole. The analyzed surface was 800 µm × 1050 µm with step size in x-axis 20 µm and in y-axis 21 µm, which gave a total of 2091 points (spectra). The most representative spectra were chosen and acquired in an area from 1800 to 450 cm -1 . All the data were acquired and manipulated by Bruker Optics software OPUS version 7.5.

Confocal Raman Spectroscopy of Bacteria-Nanoparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The measurements were made on a Senterra dispersive Raman Microscope (BRUKER, Sweden).
Confocal Raman spectroscopy was used to acquire Raman and SERS spectra of bacteria-nanoparticles samples. Raman spectra were obtained using a near-infrared diode laser (785 nm) as an excitation and collecting the Raman scattering in 180° geometry by a Peltier cooled (-70 °C) charge-coupled device (CCD) camera (255×1024 pixels), focusing only within the fingerprint regions (400-2000 cm -1 ). For all biological samples, a near-IR (785 or 800 nm) laser is a superior light source in order to avoid fluorescence and photodecomposition interference observed with all visible range excitation sources. The spectrometer was equipped with a diffraction grating of 1200 grooves/mm and the slit gave a spectral resolution of 2 cm -1 . The laser power at the sample ranged from 1 to 10 mW and the acquisition time ranged from 1 to 5 seconds. Microscope objectives (20, 50 and 100x, NA 0.40, 0.75 and 0.9) were used to focus the laser light on the sample, which consisted of 20 to 50 µL drop of mixed sample on a cleaned microscopic slide. The area of the laser spot on the samples was approximately 1 µm in diameter (when using 100x objective). The system was calibrated using built-in templates and internal Raman standards.

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.
