Esp 300 x band spectrometer

Manufactured by Bruker
Sourced in Germany

The ESP-300 X-band spectrometer is a laboratory instrument designed for electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. It operates in the X-band frequency range and is used for the detection and analysis of paramagnetic species in materials. The core function of the ESP-300 is to measure the absorption of microwave radiation by a sample placed in a strong magnetic field, providing information about the electronic structure and properties of the sample.

EPR Analysis of Gamma-Irradiated Explants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy visualizes the EPR-active centers in the γ-irradiated samples. In this study it was applied to characterize EPR spectra with particular attention to the bone-characteristic EPR-signals in the explants harvested from animals. In order to generate active centers in the investigated samples, explants were exposed to the gamma irradiation using 60Co gamma source Issledovatiel with dose rate of 1 kGy/h and a total dose of 35 kGy. To distinguish the signals coming from the scaffolds and from the tissues, EPR spectra coming from the non-implanted scaffolds after radiation sterilization were measured as well.
EPR analysis was performed using a Bruker ESP300 X-band spectrometer equipped with high-sensitivity cavity ER 4108 TMH, Bruker ER035 M Gaussmeter and microwave frequency meter HP 5342A. For absolute g-value determination, a calibration using diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) at 0.1 mW (g = 2.0036) was executed. The analysis was performed at the room temperature, with modulation frequency of 100 kHz, modulation amplitude of 0.1 mT and microwave power of 10 mW.

Spin trapping assays with the spin probe 4-pyridyl-1-oxide-N-tert-butylnitrone (4-POBN; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA) to detect the formation of hydroxyl radicals31 (link) were carried out using cyanobacterial cells (OD730 = 0.65) in 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) containing 50 mM 4-POBN, 4% (v/v) ethanol, 50 µM Fe-EDTA, and 50 µM MV. After a 30-min incubation in the light (10 µmol m−2 s−1), the samples were centrifuged at 7000g for 1 min, and the supernatants were frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at − 80 °C for electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra analysis. The EPR spectra were recorded at room temperature in a standard quartz flat cell using an ESP-300 X-band spectrometer (Bruker, Rheinstetten, Germany). The following parameters were used: microwave frequency, 9.73 GHz; modulation frequency, 100 kHz; modulation amplitude, 1 G; microwave power, 6.3 milliwatt; receiver gain, 2 × 104; time constant, 40.96 ms; number of scans: 4.

Spin-Trapping Analysis of Reactive Oxygen Species

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Spin-trapping assays with TEMPD-HCl (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA) to detect 1 O 2 (Krieger-Liszkay et al., 2015; Ramel et al., 2013a) or the spin probe 2diethylphosphono-2-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole 1-oxide (DEPMPO) to detect the formation of O 2 •-and HO • (Frejaville et al., 1995; Heyno et al., 2009) were carried out using thylakoid membranes at a concentration of 10 μg Chl mL -1 . The thylakoids were suspended in a buffer containing 0.3 M sorbitol, 50 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl 2 , 25 mM HEPES pH 7.6. Samples were illuminated for 2 min with red light (RG 630) (1000 μE m -2 s -1 ) in the presence of 100 mM TEMPD-HCl or in the presence of 50 mM DEPMPO. In the DEPMPO assay 50 μM diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid was added and the thylakoids were uncoupled. EPR spectra were recorded at room temperature in a standard quartz flat cell using an ESP-300 X-band spectrometer (Bruker, Rheinstetten, Germany). The following parameters were used: microwave frequency, 9.73 GHz; modulation frequency, 100 kHz; modulation amplitude, 1 G; microwave power, 63 mW in TEMPD assays; receiver gain, 2×10 4 ; time constant, 40.96 ms and number of scans 4.
The background EPR signals of TEMPD and DEPMPO were subtracted using the same experimental conditions without adding thylakoids. For control experiments, D 2 O and NaN 3 were used to enhance or to quench 1 O 2 production and superoxide dismutase

EPR spectra were recorded using a Bruker X-band ESP 300 spectrometer equipped with a Bruker dual-mode cavity (ER4116DM) and an Oxford Instruments ESR 900 continuous flow cryostat. Measurements utilized a 2 mW microwave power and 0.746 mT/100 kHz modulation at temperatures of 10 K. Spectra were analyzed using the software package EasySpin (version 5.1.9) as implemented in Matlab [39 (link)]. MoFerec and FePrec were prepared by reconstitution of the lyophilized proteins into a buffer solution containing 20 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, and 2.5 mM dithionite (pH 7.3). MoFelyo and FePlyo were transferred into X-band EPR tubes manually using a custom-fitted funnel. All EPR sample preparations were performed under an anoxic N2 atmosphere.

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.
