Sodium borohydride is a chemical compound commonly used as a reducing agent in various laboratory applications. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and other polar solvents. Sodium borohydride is known for its ability to selectively reduce carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes and ketones, to alcohols. It is frequently employed in organic synthesis, biochemical assays, and other experimental procedures that require a mild and controllable reducing agent.

To fabricate the Ti3+-doped TiO2, a two-step hydrothermal synthesis procedure was implemented. First, 5 ml of 50 wt. % titanium (IV) bis (ammonium lactato) dihydroxide (purchased from Sigma-Aldrich) solution was dispersed in 60 ml 0.08 g/L glucose with stirring for 0.5 hour. 65 ml of the above solution was then transferred into an autoclave for hydrothermal reactions at 170 ∞C for 8 hours. Then the products were washed by deionized water and ethanol for 4 times each and filtered. After the calcination treatment at 500 ∞C for 3 hours, dried TiO2 powders were obtained. Different amounts of sodium borohydride (purchased from Alfa Aesar) caplets were directly added into 60 ml water and mixed with 0.50 g TiO2 powder for hydrothermal reactions in an autoclave at 180 ∞C for 16 hours. Finally, the Ti3+-doped titanium dioxide powders were collected by filtration, washed alternately 3 times with deionized water and ethanol, and then dried at 60 ∞C in air for 10 hours.

In the experiments conducted here, we used trehalose dihydrate (≥99% purity, Ferro-Pfanstiehl Laboratories, Waukegan, IL), dextran (35-45kDa, Sigma: D1662-500G/lot: SLBT9984), and sodium borohydride (Alfa Aesar: 88983/lot:S09D008). We purchased the other chemicals from Sigma. Human blood samples were collected from volunteers through the University of Minnesota’s (UMN) Tissue Procurement Facility (TPF) following a UMN Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved protocol (Study Number: 1011E92892). To separate serum from whole blood, we allowed whole blood to clot for at least 30 minutes and then centrifuged it for 10 min at 2000 RCF. We carefully aspirated the serum (the supernatant) at room temperature and placed it into a new centrifuge tube, taking care not to disturb the cell layer or transfer any cells. We then aliquoted the serum into microcentrifuge tubes for use in experiments.

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.
