Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (Hitachi H-8100) was used to characterize the surface morphology of CNPs and GNs. Raman spectra were measured with a SENTERRA dispersive Raman microscope spectrometer (Bruker Optics). A SHIMADZU UV-1800 spectrophotometer was used for UV-Vis measurements. MALDI-TOF-MS analyses were carried out using a 4800 MALDI TOF/TOF analyzer (AB SCIEX) equipped with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser at an excitation wavelength of 355 nm. For each MS spectrum 1250 laser shots were fired (50 sub-spectra, 25 shots per sub-spectrum). The mass spectra analyzed using Data Explorer 4.9 software (AB SCIEX). GlycoWorkbench software was employed for MS data interpretation.

Exosome bound beads were resuspended in 200 μL 1× cold PBS solution and washed 2 times with pure water followed by the fixation in a 2% EMS-quality paraformaldehyde aqueous solution for electron microscopic imaging. A 5 μL sample was added to cleaned silicon chips and immobilized after air dry in a ventilation hood. Samples on silicon chips were mounted on a SEM stage by carbon paste. A ~5 nm coating of gold-palladium alloy was applied to improve SEM image background. The SEM imaging was performed under low beam energies (7 kV) on a Hitachi SU8230 filed emission scanning electron microscope. For immune staining TEM imaging, a solution of 1× PBS and 0.1% BSA (1 mL) was prepared, then a 50 μL of the solution was mixed with ~2.5 μL gold conjugated CD63 antibody (6 nM) and the prepared exosome sample grid in a clean 1.5 mL Eppendorf tube. This was incubated for 1 h at room temperature. Afterwards, the sample grid was be soaked in 100 μL MilliQ pure water for 30 sec. and transferred onto filter paper to remove all liquid and dried at room temperature for 20 min. Five minutes of negative staining with 2% aqueous uranyl acetate was followed by distilled water washes. Images were acquired at 75 kV using a Hitachi H-8100 transmission electron microscope.

The morphology of the nanospheres was investigated using high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR FE-SEM, Mira LMH, Tescan) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM, H-8100, Hitachi). The crystal structure was characterized using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD, DMax 2000, Rigaku) with Cu Kα radiation, as well as a Raman/PL spectrometer (Horiba-Jobin Yvon, LabRAM HR) equipped with a He–Ar laser at a wavelength of 514.5 nm.

Characterization of AuNP-M2e Conjugate

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AuNP-M2e conjugate was observed by transmission election microscopy (TEM) (Hitachi H-8100, MI, USA). TEM samples were prepared by placing a drop of the AuNP-M2e solution on a 300 mesh copper grid coated with carbon film and allowing it to dry. Size distribution of AuNP-M2e was measured using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) (Wyatt Technology Corporation, CA, US). Ultra violet-visible (UV-vis) absorbance spectra were also recorded for AuNP-M2e solutions from 400 to 700 nm at room temperature with Cary 300 UV-vis spectrophotometer (Agilent Technologies, Inc., CA, USA).
To compare stability of AuNPs capped with M2e, an aggregation parameter (AP) was used for empirical measurement of the aggregation process. AP is defined as AADAD , where A and A0 is the integrated absorbance between 600 and 700 nm for modified AuNPs and original AuNPs, respectively[25 (link)].

Transmission electron microscopy: Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images were obtained on a Hitachi (Krefeld, Germany) transmission electron microscope (model H-8100 with a LaB6 filament) with an acceleration voltage of 200 kV. One drop of the dispersion of particles in ethanol was placed on a carbon grid and dried in air before observation. The images were processed with the Fiji software (Madison, WI, USA).
Zeta potential: The surface charge of the nanoparticles was estimated with the use of zeta potential (Zetasizer NANO ZS-ZEN3600, Malvern). The zeta potential of the fluorescent SiNPs with different diameters were evaluated at different pH values (3, 5, 7, 11, 13). To adjust the pH, it was used a solutions of HCl (1M) and NaOH (1M). The average value and standard deviation for each sample were obtained from six measurements.

Transfersomes, ethosomes, and transethosomes were visualized using the electron microscope H-8100 from Hitachi Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan). All samples (10 µL) were previously diluted with 1 mL of distilled water. Then, a drop of the diluted sample was left to dry on a microscopic copper-coated grid (transmission electron microscopy grid support films of Formvar/carbon, 200 mesh Cu). After drying completely, another drop of a 1% aqueous solution of PTA was added for negative staining. Forty-five seconds later, the excess solution was wiped with filter paper. Then, the specimen was viewed under the microscope with an accelerating voltage of 75 kV and at different magnifications.

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.
