GO sheets and GQDs were characterized using an atomic force microscopy (AFM; Park Systems, XE-70) in the tapping mode and a transmission electron microscopy (TEM; JEOL, JEM-2100F) operated at an accelerating voltage of 200 kV. TEM samples were prepared on lacey-carbon TEM grids (Ted Pella, Inc.). PL and QY measurements were carried out using a fluorescence spectrometer (Scinco, FS-2) and a UV-vis spectrometer (Analytik Jena, Specord200). In order to measure long-term stability, as-prepared GQDs were kept in solution state under ambient conditions over 12 months. Photographs of fluorescent GQD solutions and composite films and fibers were taken using a digital camera (Canon, EOS 600D) with a 356 nm UV lamp (Specroline, ENF-260C/FE). The fluorescent GQD fibers were observed using a fluorescence microscopy (Olympus, BX51/U-RFL-T) with a UV excitation filter (Olympus, U-MNU2). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements were carried out using a spectrometer (Thermo Scientific, Theta probe) with monochromatic Al Kα radiation. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR; Thermo Scientific, Nicolet 6700) was conducted with KBr pellets. Raman spectroscopy (JASCO, NRS-3100) was performed with 514 nm laser excitation.

In Vitro Diclofenac Release Kinetics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The release of DICL was accomplished through the immersion of the DICL-loaded hydrogels in 25 mL of selected media, i.e., 0.01 M HCl, water, unbuffered PBS solution, and 0.01 M NaOH. The release of diclofenac was monitored spectrophotometrically, using the UV–Vis spectrometer Specord 200 (Analytic Jena, Jena, Germany), via measuring the absorbance at λmax = 278 nm, which is characteristic of DICL [33 (link),34 (link),35 (link)]. The release experiments were carried out until a plateau was observed in the release curves, which was a sign that no more DICL would be able to be released from the tested hydrogels.

A UV-visible spectrophotometer (Analytic Jena, Specord 200) was used to detect the UV absorbance for constant association determination. Analyses of blood after extraction with the MI-SPE were performed using HPLC (Dionex Ultimate 3000 with UV detector) by isocratic elution, using a mixture of methanol/water containing 0.01% TEA (15:85) as the mobile phase and a column Merck C18G 125A (250 × 4.6 mm i.d.). The flow rate was 1 mL min−1, and the detection wavelength was set at 229 nm. The column was passed through with mobile phase until the baseline was obtained before detecting the samples.

Antioxidant Capacity Evaluation of L-SEO

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The L-SEO sample’s antioxidant capacity was evaluated using two spectrophotometric assays (DPPH assay and ABTS assay), as reported earlier [22 ]. A UV-VIS spectrophotometer Specord 200 (Analytik Jena, Jena, Germany) and a 10 mm quartz cuvette were used in the procedure described above. Briefly, for the DPPH assay, we mixed a 0.1 mL control sample with 3 mL of 0.2 mM ethanolic DPPH• solution. The absorbance was recorded after 60 min of reaction in the dark at λ = 517 nm. Positive controls containing 0.02–4 mM Trolox solutions were prepared. The data are expressed in mg Trolox/L and inhibition (%).
For the ABTS assay, we mixed 0.5 mL sample or control with 1 mL ABTS* solution, prepared 16 h before from ABTS reagent and 2.45 mM aqueous solution of sodium persulfate. The absorbance was recorded at λ = 734 nm, after 10 min of reaction time in the dark. Positive controls containing 0.02–1.0 mM Trolox solutions were prepared. The data are expressed in mmol TEAC/L (TEAC: Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacities) and inhibition (%). All the experiments were performed in triplicate.

Concentrations of the photosynthetic pigments were measured at 8 DAS of the experiment. The sample (5 fresh leaves per treatment per ecotype) was powdered with liquid nitrogen in the presence of magnesium hydroxide carbonate. Photosynthetic pigments were extracted from about 0.1 g of homogenized leaf tissue with absolute ice-cold acetone for 15 min. After centrifugation (14,000× g, 4 °C, 10 min), the supernatant was collected, and reextractions were performed under the same conditions until the tissue became colorless. Chlorophyll a (Chl a), chlorophyll b (Chl b), and carotenoids (Car) were determined spectrophotometrically (Specord 200, Analytic Jena, Jena, Germany) at 470, 644.8, and 661.6 nm in joined supernatants and chlorophyll a/b ratio was calculated [54 (link)]. Concentrations of photosynthetic pigments were calculated according to the determined dry mass of samples and expressed as mg/g of DW.

Soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC) was measured by modified chloroform fumigation extraction method [24] . It was assayed by treating 10 g of fresh soil sample with 2 mL ethanol free chloroform in the soil sample and incubated for 24 hrs. In another set, soil was kept in similar condition except for chloroform treatment. After incubation, the lids of the container were opened to remove the chloroform vapors. 40 mL of 0.5 M K 2 SO 4 was added to it. The content was shaken for at least 1 hr. The suspension was filtered and the filtrate was measured at 280 nm in UV-Visible spectrophotometer (Specord 200, Analytik Jena, Germany).

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.
