Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bi4C@US-tubes were prepared as previously reported [56 (link)]. Briefly, the US-tubes and the Bi(III) oxo-salicylate cluster were prepared separately and then combined by simply sonicating both together for 1 h in dried tetrahydrofuran (THF). The US-tubes were produced by cutting full-length single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by the fluorination method described elsewhere [57 (link)], and the synthesis of the Bi(III) oxo-salicylate cluster ([Bi4(μ3-O)2(HO-2-C6H4CO2)8]·2MeCN) was performed as previously reported [58 (link)] and placed under vacuum for 48 h for solvent removal. For in vitro studies, a labeling solution was prepared by suspending Bi4C@US-tubes in a 0.17% (w/v) solution of Pluronic® F-108, a nonionic surfactant, via probe sonication for 5 min. The samples were centrifuged at 3200 rpm for 10 min, and the supernatant was used for the in vitro experiments. The bismuth concentration was determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES, Optima 4300 from PerkinElmer, Inc.) and adjusted to 1 μM.

The calcium content were determined by mixing an aliquot (500 μl) of the sample with concentrated hydrochloric acid (500 μl) in a glass vial container and incubated at room temperature overnight. The sample was subsequently diluted 50-fold and the calcium content was determined employing a inductively-coupled plasma emission spectrophotometer (Optima 4300, Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA). Calibration standard solution of calcium (37509–04 Nacalai Tesque) was used.

Characterizing AuNPs-modified Carbon Materials

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transmission electron microscopic measurements (TEM) were carried out using JEOL TEM, JEM-2010 model, which is equipped with and Oxford X-ray detector (EDS), INCA Energy TEM 100 model, and GATAN acquisition camera.
X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was performed in a VG-Microtech Mutilab 3,000 spectrometer and Al Kα radiation (1253.6 eV). The deconvolution of the XPS Au4f, C1s, S2p, and N1s was done by least squares fitting using Gaussian-Lorentzian curves, while a Shirley line was used for the background determination. The S2p spectra have been analyzed considering the spin-orbit splitting into S2p3/2 and S2p1/2 with a 2:1 peak area ratio and 1.2 eV splitting (Castner et al., 1996 (link)). The XPS measurements were done in different parts of a given sample and repeated in two different samples, being the results similar.
To determine metal content, 10 mg of the carbon material modified with AuNPs were digested in an acid solution [1 HNO3 (65%):3 HCl (37%)]. The suspension was sonicated for 20 min and heated at 80°C for 6 h until evaporation. Afterwards, 2 mL of HNO3 were added and diluted with ultrapure water. Solutions were then analyzed using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), Perkin-Elmer Optima 4,300.

Dietary Mineral Analysis and Intake

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mineral content of the study diets was confirmed by chemical analysis. Diet composites for each of the 3 meals of all 3 cycle menu days were made in duplicate according to the same procedures. The prepared diet samples (foods and beverages) from a single meal were then combined and homogenized in a foodservice grade blender (Hamilton Beach). After homogenizing, composites were frozen at −20°C, then freeze-dried (VirTis Genesis Pilot Lyophilizer, SP Scientific) for 4 days. After freeze drying, small amounts of the composites were placed in crucibles and ashed in a muffle furnace (Thermolyne, Thermo Scientific) at 600°F for 2 days. The ash was dissolved in 1 mL of trace metal grade nitric acid, then diluted using 2% nitric acid. The dilutions were analyzed for sodium and potassium using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (Optima 4300; PerkinElmer). A comparison of the mineral content of the diet as determined by ProNutra and chemical analysis is shown in Table S1.
On inpatient study days 7 and 8, CRC staff provided all study food to participants and recorded the amount of food consumed for each meal. Actual food intake was then used to calculate actual mineral intake based on the chemical analysis data. If a participant ate all of their meal, their intake was assumed to be 100% of the chemically determined amount of each mineral in that meal.

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.
