Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Citric acid monohydrate, benzophenone, and
all organic solvents were purchased from Millipore-Sigma and used
without further purification. Ultrapure water was processed using
a Milli-Q (Milford, MA, USA) system. CNDs were prepared according
to the previously reported procedure.26 (link) Briefly, citric acid was placed in a vial and heated under air at
180 °C for 40 h to produce a brown solid in 27% yield, which
was used without further purification. Measurements in all solvents
were done with concentrations of CNDs of 0.05 mg/mL solutions, except
for water where due to lesser solubility, exact concentration was
not measured.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The synthesis of large
unilamellar vesicles (LUV) or liposomes of DOPG lipids has been previously
reported49 (link),50 (link) and is discussed in more detail in the Supporting Information. DOPG was purchased from
Avanti Polar Lipids, Inc. in powder form. Citric acid monohydrate
(≥99.0%), potassium hydroxide purified pellets (≥85%),
and malachite green chloride were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. The
molecular structure of the malachite green cation, C23H25N2+, is shown in Figure S4a of the Supporting Information. The colloidal liposomes
are characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta-potential
measurements using a Zetasizer Nano ZS from Malvern Instruments Inc.,
U.K. All measurements of the DOPG liposomes in this study are conducted
in 5 mM citrate buffer with pH 4.0. The average diameter of the DOPG
liposomes is measured to be 137 ± 42 nm with a polydispersity
index of 0.07. Similarly, the corresponding zeta potential is determined
to be −73.2 ± 1.1 mV.

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.
