Example 19

Prepare the Oil Phase by adding 4.44 grams of isophorone diisocyanate (Sigma Aldrich) to 5.69 grams of Scent A fragrance oil. Prepare a Water Phase by mixing 1.67 grams of Ethylene Diamine (Sigma Aldrich) and 0.04 grams of 1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (Sigma Aldrich) into 40 grams of a 5 wt % aqueous solution of Polyvinylpyrrolidone K-90 (Sigma Aldrich) at 10 degrees Centigrade. Next, add the Oil Phase contents to 15.0 grams of a 5 wt % aqueous solution of Polyvinylpyrrolidone K-90 (Sigma Aldrich), while agitating the mix at 1400 RPM using a Janke & Kunkel IKA Laboretechnik RW20 DZM motor with a 3-blade turbine agitator for approximately 9 minutes. Next, add the addition of the Water Phase into the emulsified Oil Phase dropwise over a 6.5 minute period, while continuing to agitate at 1400 RPM. Continue to agitate for 23 minutes, then reduce the agitation speed to 1000 RPM. After 3.75 additional hours, reduce the agitation speed to 500 RPM, and continue to agitate for 14 hours. Start heating the dispersion to 50 degrees Centigrade, over a 2 hour period. Age the capsules at 50 C for 2 hours, then collect the formed microcapsules. The resulting polyurea/urethane particles have a median particle size of 12 microns and a broadness index of 1.5

For the preparation of the hollow fiber membranes, Ultrason E6020 polyethersulfone (PES, BASF, Ludwigshafen, Germany) and polyvinylpyrrolidone K90 (PVP, Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH, Munchen, Germany) were dissolved in extra pure N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP, Acros Organics, Geel, Belgium). Activated carbon (Norit A Supra, Norit Netherlands BV, Amersfoort, the Netherlands) was sieved through 45 μm sieve (VWR, Amsterdam, the Netherlands) and used as an adsorbent in outer polymer layer. All polymer solutions were allowed to degas for at least 24 hours prior to membrane fabrication. Creatinine, indoxyl sulfate, human serum albumin (HAS), inulin, vitamin B12, α-lactalbumin and α-chymotrypsin were purchased from Sigma Aldrich. p-Cresyl sulfate was synthesized by the Laboratory for Organic and Bio-organic Synthesis at the Ghent University (Belgium) following the method described by Feigenbaum et al.33 .
Human plasma from healthy vol unteer donors was obtained from Sanquin (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) in compliance with local ethical guidelines. To prepare the dialysate solution 2 mM KCl, 140 mM NaCl, 1.5 mM CaCl2, 0.25 mM MgCl2, 35 mM NaHCO3 and 5.5 mM glucose (all Sigma-Aldrich) were dissolved in ultra-pure water. Fresenius F8HPS low-flux dialysis membranes (kindly provided by FMC, Vlijmen, the Netherlands) were used as reference.

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.
