Selenium Nanoparticle Synthesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The SeNPs were synthesized according to the method described by Zhang et al. [22 (link)] with minor modifications. The chemical used in the process includes selenium dioxide, ascorbic acid (Sigma–Aldrich, Inc., St. Louis, MO, USA) and sodium hydroxide (BDH, Dubai, United Arab Emirates). Briefly, selenious acid solution (0.25 M) was prepared by dissolving selenium dioxide (Sigma–Aldrich, Inc., St. Louis, MO, USA) in deionized water. Afterwards, ascorbic acid (0.05 M) (Sigma–Aldrich, Inc., St. Louis, MO, USA) was added drop-wise to the selenious acid solution under constant mechanical stirring to initiate the reaction. sodium hydroxide solution (1 M) was added to the solution to increase its pH. The formation of SeNPs was indicated by the change in color from colorless to bright red. The solution was centrifuged to separate the SeNPs which were washed with deionized water. The SeNPs were dried and stored in a clean vial for further use. The SeNPs were spherical with size ranging between 40 to 75 nm.

Trace element-free sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide (BDH Inc., Toronto, ON, Canada) and high-purity distilled deionized water filtered through a 0.22 mm Millipore filtration system (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) were used throughout the preparation of the oral doses of Zn isotopes. All laboratory work was completed in a clean laboratory under a laminar flow hood. Acid-washed glassware and plastics were used throughout. Isotopes of 70Zn were obtained as 70Zn-Asp ((C4H6NO4)270Zn), 70ZnSO4, and 70Zn-Glu (C12H22O14Zn), all at 72% isotopic purity, (Sigma Aldrich, Custom Synthesis service, Milano, Italy).
The isotopes complexes were tested for sterility and pyrogenicity by the pharmacy of INRCA and encapsulated in gelatin. The oral capsules had a final total amount of 2.0 mg of 70Zn, with each one independently in the form of the complex. The oral doses were consumed in the morning with an individual milk feed.

Crystal violet (CV), methylene blue (MB), and malachite green (MG) were procured from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Hydrochloric acid (HCl, 36%), sodium hydroxide (NaOH, ≥97%), nitric acid (HNO3, 68.0–70.0%), and sodium chloride (NaCl, ≥99%) were obtained from BDH, England (Poole, Doorset, UK). The morphology and elemental composition of the dried micro and nanoclays adsorbents were performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) (JEOL 7600F, Tokyo, Japan). FTIR spectra of the tested micro and nanoclays adsorbents before and after CV dye adsorption were recorded on the Thermo Scientific FTIR Spectrometer (Nicolet iS50 FTIR, Madison, WI, USA) in the range 4000–400 cm−1. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the micro and nanoclays adsorbents was accomplished using a Shimadzu XRD-6000, (Tokyo, Japan) diffractometer. A UV-vis spectrophotometer was utilized to determine the concentrations of dyes on the micro and nanoclay adsorbents. The chemical composition of micro and nanoclay adsorbents was obtained by XRF. Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) (Thermo Scientific, Weltham, MA, USA) was applied for the analysis of micro and nanoclay adsorbents.

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.
