Surface Wettability and Polymer Characterization

The surface wettability was characterized by measuring the static water contact angle, which was obtained from a DSA 100 drop shape analysis system (KRÜSS) with a computer-controlled liquid dispensing system. One μL DI water droplets were deposited onto substrate surfaces, and the water contact angles were measured within 10 s through the analysis of photographic images. The cross-linking kinetics of BPMPC coating was investigated by a UV—vis spectroscopy (Varian) with 254 nm UV light. The thickness of the spin-coated polymer layer on the silicon substrates and CarboSil substrates were measured by a M-2000 V Spectroscopic Ellipsometer (J.A Woollam co., INC.) with a white light source at three incident angles (65°, 70°, and 75°). The thickness of the modified layer was measured and calculated using a Cauchy layer model. Infrared spectroscopy studies of polymer coated films were done using a Thermo-Nicolet model 6700 spectrometer equipped with a variable angle grazing angle attenuated total reflection (GATR-ATR) accessory (Harrick Scientific).

Ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) absorption spectra were recorded using a UV-2600 spectrophotometer (Shimadzu) in a quartz cuvette or an Infinite M200 Pro multimode microplate reader (Tecan) in a microplate. All fluorescence measurements were conducted using the Tecan plate reader in ultrathin special optics PS microplates with minimal background fluorescence. Morphologies of nanostructures were examined by a JEOL JSM-6700F field emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) operating at 10 kV. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and elemental mapping were acquired with a high-resolution Zeiss Gemini500 thermal FE-SEM at 6 kV accelerating voltage. Surface hydrophobicity was indicated by water contact angles measured with a DSA100 Drop Shape Analysis System (Kruss) in ambient conditions. Protein secondary structures were assessed by a Nicolet 6700 Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in the attenuated total reflection (ATR) mode. All electrochemical measurements were performed on a CHI 630E Electrochemical Analyzer (CH Instruments) in a standard three-electrode configuration comprised of a glassy carbon working electrode, a Pt plate counter electrode, and a Ag/AgCl reference electrode.

To ensure coverage of the catheters with the BPMPC coat, catheters were cut after coating and static water contact angle measurements were carried out. A DSA 100 drop shape analysis system (Krüss) with a computer controlled dispensing system was used for this purpose. The contact angles were obtained through quick photographic analysis of 1 μl droplets on the substrates.

The surface topography before and after coating with NPs was scanned by atomic force microscope (Veeco Instruments, Santa Barbara, CA, USA) under ambient conditions. The images were analyzed by using commercial Scanning Probe Image Processor (SPIP 6.0) software (Image Metrology ApS, Hørsholm, Denmark). Meanwhile, the water contact angle was analyzed with DSA100 drop shape analysis system (KRÜSS GmbH, Hamburg, Germany). The drop shape was photographed with a camera and the contact angle was calculated with the software provided by the manufacturer.

The GL-20 G-II High-Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge that experiment used was from Anting Scientific Instruments (Shanghai, China), TU-1901 dual-beam UV visible photometer was from General Analysis Instrument Co., Ltd (Beijing, China), and the pH was debugged with the pHS-3E pH meter from Leici Instrument Factory (Shanghai, China). The water contact angle (WCA) of different SCGS was measured by the DSA 100 drop-shape analysis system (Krüss GmbH, Germany). MagMAX™ Viral RNA Isolation Kit was purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Guangzhou, China). SARS -CoV-2 Nucleic Acid Detection Kit based on fluorescence quantitative PCR was purchased from Daan Gene (Guangzhou, China) and PCR was performed by 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Guangzhou, China). The WCA of SCGS needs to be vacuum dried at 40 °C for two days before measuring. The smartphone (Redmi k30, China) took the images. The RGB values were obtained from the Color recognition picker an application (APP) downed from the mobile app store. The wd-9403 C ultraviolet analyzer (Guangzhou, China) provided a unified photographic environment.

Surface Tension Measurement of Protein Solutions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Surface tension data were obtained using a DSA 100 Drop Shape Analysis System (Krüss GmbH, Germany). Approximately 25 µl drops of protein in water at various concentrations were suspended from a 1.830 mm diameter syringe needle. Photos were taken at an average speed of 3 fps and the drop shape was monitored over 15 min. The shape factor was iterated from the photos of the drops by the DSA1 software. Times shown in the data denote the time since the first measurement. It takes ∼8 s, from the first depression of the syringe plunger (liquid exiting the needle), for the drop to be formed and to stabilise. Therefore, changes during the first 8 s are not measured using this system.

During growth of the film, the water contact angle of each monolayer was analyzed with a DSA100 drop shape analysis system, KRÜSS GmbH (Hamburg, Germany). Before measurement, the sample was dried with nitrogen and analyzed immediately. The drop shape was snapped with a camera and the contact angle was calculated with the software provided by the manufacturer.

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.
