Following the synthesis, the nanoliposomes were diluted 1:5000 and 1:10 for nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and dynamic light scattering (DLS), respectively. NTA measurements were recorded and analyzed using the Nanosight NS300 (Malvern, UK); DLS and Zeta potential measurements were performed using the Brookhaven Zeta-PALS light-scattering analyzer (New York, NY, USA). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy was performed using the Perkin Elmer FTIR Spectrum II (Waltham, MA, USA) on lyophilized samples. Absorbance measurements were performed in 96-well plates at various dilutions using the Spectramax i3 (Molecular Devices, San Jose, CA, USA). For transmission electron microscopy, immediately after synthesis, liposomes were drop cast on a carbon-copper grid and stained with uranyl acetate for contrast. The imaging was performed using the FEI Tecnai G2 Spirit Twin TEM (Hillsboro, OR, USA) at a voltage of 120 kV.

FTIR, Raman, UV–vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy measurements were carried out to determine the optical properties of GQDs. A Perkin Elmer LAMBDA 750 spectrophotometer was used to record the UV–visible absorbance spectrum. The luminescence characteristics of the GQDs were investigated using a Perkin Elmer LS 55 fluorescence spectrometer. On a Perkin Elmer FT-IR Spectrum 2, FTIR spectra were measured in the range of 500–4000 cm−1 by making KBr pellets of the sample. At room temperature, an AIRIX STR 500 laser Raman spectrometer was used with Ar laser excitation at 532 nm. A Panalytical X-Pert Pro diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation (λ = 1.5418 Å) was used for investigating the structural properties of GQDs. Morphology and size of GQDs were confirmed with data obtained from a Bruker AFM analyzer atomic force microscope and a FEI Tecnai G2 20 S-TWIN transmission electron microscope.

Characterization of Biofilm Matrices

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Congo red and Calcofluor binding assays were used to identify the components of the biofilm matrices, i.e., EPS. For the FTIR analysis, the pellets were prepared as described in Mosharaf et al. (2018) (link). Using the triglycine sulfate (TGS) detector, 450 to 4000 cm–1 was scanned (16 scans at 4 cm–1 resolution and at 0.2 cm sec–1 scanning speed). The IR spectra of the biofilm matrices were acquired using the Perkin Elmer FTIR (Spectrum-2) instrument operated by CPU32M software. Perkin Elmer’s proprietary software (Version 10.05.03) was used to analyze the baseline subtracted biofilm spectra. For SEM, 72-hour-old biofilms were carefully collected and then oven dried at 40°C for 48 h. Each dried sample was coated with carbon using a vacuum sputter-coater to improve the conductivity. A scanning electron microscope (SEM, JEOL JSM-6490LA, Japan) operated at 5.0 KV was used to image the samples. To detect curli fimbriae and nanocellulose, Congo red and Calcofluor binding assays were performed as described in Haque et al. (2009 (link), 2017) (link).

PEGylated
Prussian Blue nanoparticles (PEG:PB) were prepared via a two-step
synthesis with some modifications.67 (link) Initially,
PBNPs were synthesized to include a PVP coating using a coprecipitation

washed with DDI water (×3). Final solution was suspended in water.
Conjugation was validated using a PerkinElmer Spectrum 2 FTIR through

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.
