96 well black wall plates

Manufactured by Corning
Sourced in United States

The 96-well black-wall plates are a type of laboratory equipment used for various assays and experiments. These plates feature a black-colored wall, which helps to minimize light interference and background fluorescence, improving the sensitivity and accuracy of the measurements. The plates are designed with 96 individual wells, allowing for multiple samples or replicates to be tested simultaneously. The core function of these plates is to provide a standardized and controlled environment for conducting various biological, biochemical, or analytical procedures.

Oxidative Stress Induction in MB49 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MB49 cells were seeded in 96-well black wall plates
(Corning, NY, USA) at a concentration of 1 × 105 cells/well
and exposed to a complete medium with Ti(OH)4 activated
for 1 h with visible light. A solution of 10 μmol/L of H2O2 was used (30 min of exposure) as a positive
control to induce oxidative stress in the cells. Cells without any
treatment were used as a negative control. After the exposure period,
the cells were washed with PBS (1×) and labeled with 30 μL
of a 100 μmol/L solution of 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein
diacetate (DCF-DA) (Sigma-Aldrich, USA). Fluorescence readings were
taken using the Spectra Max i3 (Molecular Devices) with 485–530
nm excitation.74 (link)

Quantifying Intracellular Photosensitizer Levels

Fresh PECA cells (1 × 105 cells/well) were seeded in 96-well black wall plates (Corning Inc, Corning, NY, USA) and cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS, penicillin (100 IU mL− 1), streptomycin (100 μg mL− 1) for 24 h. Attached cells were washed twice with PBS and then incubated with ALA of different concentrations (0.1 to 10 mM) in 100-μL serum-free medium in the dark with different incubation times (1 to 24 h). PpIX fluorescence emission from the cells was detected using a microplate reader (Synergy 2 multi-mode microplate reader; BioTek, Winooski, VT, USA). The fluorescence excitation wavelength was set at 400 nm and the emission wavelength at 635 nm. Data were corrected for autofluorescence background (n = 5).

HEK293T Cell Fluorescence Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
10,000 HEK293T cells per well were seeded in 96-well black-wall plates (Corning). 16–24 hours post-seeding, cells were transfected at approximately 60% confluency with .5 μL of Lipofectamine 2000 according to the manufacturer’s protocols and 100 ng of dCas9–VPR plasmid, 30 ng of GFP reporter plasmid, 15 ng of iRFP plasmid, and 20 ng of sgRNA, pegRNA, or epegRNA plasmid. After three days, cells were measured for GFP and iRFP fluorescence using an Infinite M1000 Pro microplate reader (Tecan). GFP fluorescence was normalized to iRFP fluorescence after subtracting background fluorescence signal from untreated cells.

Culturing hCMEC/D3 Brain Endothelial Cells

The hCMEC/D3 human brain microvascular endothelial cell line was obtained from Merck Millipore (Germany). To maintain the cells’ brain endothelial-like features, we used cells under passage number 35 [16 (link)]. Cells were grown in dishes coated with rat tail collagen and maintained in an incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2. The basal medium used was MCDB 131 (Pan Biotech, Germany) supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum, GlutaMAX (100 ×, Life Technologies, USA), lipid supplement (100 ×, Life Technologies, USA), 10 μg/ml ascorbic acid, 550 nM hydrocortisone, 37.5 μg/ml heparin, 1 ng/ml basic fibroblast growth factor (Roche, USA), 5 μg/ml insulin, 5 μg/ml transferrin, 5 ng/ml selenium supplement (100x, PanBiotech), 10 mM HEPES, and gentamycin (50 μg/ml). We changed the medium every two or three days. When the cultures reached almost 90% confluence, we passaged them to rat tail collagen-coated 96-well plates (E-plate, Agilent, USA) for impedance measurement assays, cell culture inserts (0.4 μm pore size, cellQUART, Sabeu, Germany) for barrier integrity assays and 96-well black-wall plates (Corning, USA) for ROS measurement. Before each experiment, the medium was supplemented with 10 mM LiCl for 24 hours to improve BBB properties [17 (link)]. For further characterization and gene expression studies please see [15 (link)–17 (link), 24 (link)].

Pseudovirion Infectivity Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Supernatant was collected from each well and centrifuged for five minutes at 300 x g to remove cells and debris. Virions were harvested by centrifugation of culture supernatants through a 20% sucrose cushion at 23,500 x g for one hour at 4°C. The pelleted pseudovirions were resuspended in 600 μl of complete media and dilutions (1:3 and 1:9) were made for each pseudovirion-preparation. The diluted virions were mixed with 1.25 × 104 TZM-bl cells in 100 μl DMEM per well in 96-well black-wall plates (Corning), in triplicate. The cells were incubated for 48 hours at 37°C. The supernatant was then removed, and cells lysed in 70 μl of 0.5% Triton-X, before addition of 70 μl of Britelite Plus Luciferase reagent (Perkin Elmer). Luminescence was quantified using a Perkin Elmer luminometer. Data are presented as relative light units (RLUs) following subtraction of background controls. Where indicated, data are expressed as RLUs normalized to the concentration of HIV capsid antigen (p24), as measured by ELISA (ABL, Rockville, MD), following the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
