Quantifying Hypersensitive Response and Electrolyte Leakage in Arabidopsis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For both HR and electrolyte leakage, Arabidopsis Col-0 and GAPDH KO leaves were infiltrated using a needleless syringe with 4×107 CFU/ml of Pst DC3000 and Pst DC3000 (AvrRpt2). After infiltration, plants were placed under a light bank (100 μE/m2/s) and HR was scored at 10 h post inoculation. For electrolyte leakage, two leaves per plant were infiltrated across four biological replicates per genotype. Total tissue was harvested using a cork borer to generate 1.5 cm2 of leaf discs (six total leaf discs). Leaf discs were placed in distilled water (20mL in a 50mL conical tube) for 1h and individual biological replicates kept separate. Leaf discs were transferred to a 12-well tissue culture plate (Corning) containing 4mL of distilled water per well and placed under the light bank. Conductivity was measured using the Orion 3 Star conductivity meter (Thermo Scientific). All experiments were repeated at least three times.

To measure the surface pH of films, they were kept in a Petri dish containing 10 mL of distilled water for 10 min to swell. After swelling, the surface pH was measured by using an Orion 3 Star pH-meter glass electrode (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). pH probe was in contact with the surface of each film and was allowed to equilibrate for 1 min.

Alkalinity was evaluated by measuring pH according to a previously published study.11 In brief, we prepared specimen (1-mm thickness and 5-mm diameter) and allowed to set completely. After setting, we inserted one tablet into 10 mL of deionized water. Then, the pH value was measured using a pH meter (Orion 3 Star; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Singapore).

pH Measurement of Dental Materials

The pH was measured according to the criteria used in a previously published study [10 (link)]. Specimens (1-mm thickness and 5-mm diameter) of the tested materials were prepared and allowed to set for 1 day (n = 3). After setting, one tablet was added to 10 mL of deionized water. Then, the pH value was measured using a pH meter (Orion 3 Star; Thermo Scientific, Singapore). The apparatus was previously calibrated with pH 7.0 and 4.0 solutions.

Nanoparticle Characterization Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The chemical and morphological characterizations for the nanoparticles were realized by Shimadzu UV-1800 (UV–VIS), PerkinElmer Frontier model FT-IR, Bruker D8 Advance model X-ray diffraction (XRD) with a Cu Kα radiation source in range from 10° to 90°, TEM-120 kV transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Carl Zeiss EVO-LS 10 scanning electron microscope (SEM). Common drift method [30 (link)] was used to determine the pH (pHpzc) of nanoparticles and nanocomposites at the zero charge point. For this, 50 mL of 0.01 M NaCl solution was placed in a closed flask. The pH value was adjusted to a value between 2.0 and 12.0 by adding 0.1 M HCl and/or 0.1 M NaOH solutions. Then, 0.05 g of each nanoparticles/nanocomposites was added, and the final pH was measured using the pH meter (Thermo Scientific, Orion 3 Star) after 24 h under shaking at room temperature. The intersection point of initial pH and final pH values was determined to be pHpzc.

Evaluating Collagen Peptide's Impact on Acid Production by S. mutans

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The effect of CP on glycolytic acid production by S. mutans planktonic cells was measured, as described elsewhere [33 (link)]. Briefly, S. mutans or L. rhamnosus cells in the planktonic cultures were harvested, washed once with a salt solution (50 mM KCl + 1 mM MgCl2, pH = 7), and resuspended in a salt solution. The pH was adjusted to 7.0 with 0.2 M KOH solution. Glucose was then added to obtain a concentration of 1% (w/v), and pH change was assessed over a period of 90 min using a glass electrode (Orion 3-Star, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The initial rate of acid production, which provides the best measure of the acid production capacity of the cells, was calculated using pH values.
H-Gly-Pro-Hyp-OH (Bachem, Bubendorf, Switzerland), a common tripeptide unit of collagen, was used for testing. Glycine (Shijiazhuang Shixing Amino Acid Co., Ltd., Shijiazhuang, China), one of most abundant amino acids in CP, was also used to compare the activity of CP. H-Gly-Pro-Hyp-OH, glycine, and CP were used at 5 mg/mL (0.5% (w/v)).

Rapid Microextraction and Smartphone-Based Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Using the results of our multivariate analysis, our final DLLME protocol calls for a mixture of 80 μg mL−1 of IBU, 5% (w v−1) of cobalt salt and 5% (w v−1) of NaCl solutions mixed well in a15 mL test tube, with a pH corrected to 7 and a final volume adjusted to 10 mL. pH measurements were performed with a pH meter (model Orion 3 Star, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Then, a mixture of 99 μL of extractant solvent (i.e., chloroform) and 319 μL of dispersant volume (methanol) are added using a syringe. A cloudy solution immediately forms and the phase separation is allowed to proceed for one minute. Chloroform was chosen over non-toxic solutions (e.g., undecanol) as it allows phase separation to occur without centrifugation, allowing for a truly portable sample preparation. Afterwards, the aqueous phase is removed and the organic phase is retrieved with a pipette and analyzed by the smartphone-based system (Fig. 1). A novel component of this work is the direct measurement of the organic phase using a custom cartridge that integrates a linear series of fluid compartments made of polyoxymethylene (POM), which has excellent chemical resistance to most organic solvents (Fig 1B and 1C). From beginning to end, the overall procedure lasts less than 5 minutes.

Total dissolved metal concentrations were measured using either inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP‐OES) (Perkin Elmer Optima 5300‐DV) or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS) (Agilent‐7700). Solution pH was monitored using a pH metre (Orion 3 star, Thermo).

Analytical Balance and pH Meter Calibration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
pH readings were obtained by an Orion 3 star (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) pH meter equipped with either a Thermo pH electrode (9142BN) or an Orion 8103BNUWP Ross Ultra Semi-micro pH probe (Thermo Scientific, USA) filled with 3M KCl ROSS Orion filling solution (Thermo Scientific, USA). An Ohaus ADVENTURER AX124 analytical balance (Ohaus, Parsippany, NJ, USA) was used for mass measurements. Samples were weighed on 3 × 3 inch low-nitrogen-weighing Fisherbrand paper (Fisherbrand, Pittsburgh, PA, USA). In general, a mass of at least 5 mg was weighed for all samples to minimize error. Both the balance and pH meter were calibrated directly prior to use. Balance calibration was confirmed with a 5 mg standard weight (Troemner, Thorofare, NJ, USA) with 5 ± 0.1 mg cutoff.

Between each measurement the electrode was washed with ultrapure water and blot-dried.

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.
