BEC (99%), DDAB (98%), BAC12 (puriss, ≥99 %), BAC14 (puriss, ≥99 %), BAC16 (99%), hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTAB, 99.5%) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). HDTAB was used as an internal standard (ISTD) for BEC and DDAB. Deuterated ISTDs (BAC12-d5, BAC14-d5, and BAC16-d5, 99%) were purchased from CDN Isotopes Inc. (Pointe Claire, Quebec). LCMS-grade acetonitrile, 2-propanol, formic acid, and ammonium formate were purchased from Thermo Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA). Water (18 MΩ) was cleaned by a Millipore Milli-Q system (Billerica, MA, USA). Polypropylene centrifuge tubes (15 ml) were purchased from Fisher Scientific. All samples and standards were passed through regenerated cellulose membrane filters (0.2-μm pore size, 15-mm i.d., Phenomenex, Torrance, CA, USA).

Antimicrobial Efficacy Evaluation Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Stationary phase cultures were diluted to a final cell concentration of 107 cfu/ml in a 96-well plate with wells holding a final reaction volume of 200 μl of fresh medium containing different concentrations of the investigated antimicrobial substance. The tested concentrations of BAC (Sigma-Aldrich, 234427), benzyl-dimethyl-dodecylammonium chloride (BAC12; Sigma-Aldrich, 13380) and NBD-DDA were 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 100, and 150 μM. The plates were incubated at 37°C with agitation for 24 h and growth was assessed visually. To determine the MBC (minimum bactericidal concentration), 10 μl from each well without visible growth were spotted onto LB agar medium and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. The first concentration that reduced the initial cell density by a factor of 103 or more was designated the MBC. NBD-DDA was dissolved in DMSO. To assess the effect of DMSO on growth, a MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) assay with the solvent DMSO alone was conducted. Growth was not inhibited by DMSO in the concentration range tested here. All experiments were conducted with n = 3 biological replicates and yielded the same MIC and MBC.

Water was obtained from a Milli-Q water purification system (Millipore). HPLC-grade acetonitrile (ACN) was purchased from Honeywell. HPLC-grade ammonium acetate, acetone, and ethyl acetate were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific. Isopropanol and HPLC-grade formic acid were purchased from VWR. Standard mixtures of C12–C14 alkyl (ethyl benzyl) dimethyl ammonium chloride (61% AEB-12, 25% AEB-14; ≥98.0%) and benzalkonium chloride 10% solution (1.79% BAC-10, 67.83% BAC-12, 24.6% BAC-14, 4.54% BAC-16, 1.24% BAC-18) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich. An individual BAC-10 standard was purchased from Toronto Research Chemicals. An additional proprietary compound (X), best described as a hydroxylated QAC containing a long-chained hydrocarbon and an inorganic component, was obtained from the manufacturer and included in testing.

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.
