Px 12

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The PX-12 is a laboratory equipment designed for performing X-ray diffraction analysis. It is capable of analyzing the crystalline structure of materials by measuring the diffraction patterns of X-rays interacting with the sample. The PX-12 provides accurate and reliable data on the atomic arrangements and composition of various solid-state materials.

Cytotoxicity Evaluation of PX-12 and Oxidants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Between 250 and 1000 cells per well (optimized for each specific cell line) were plated in triplicate in 96 well plates in their respective FBS culture medium. At 24 h after plating, cells were changed to their corresponding culture medium supplemented with 5 or 10% CSS, and treated with either PX-12 (Sigma, M5324) or DMSO (Sigma, D2650) as the vehicle control. At 72 h following PX-12 treatment, luminescence was measured using the Cell TiterGlo Kit (Promega, Ref G7571), and read on a FilterMax F5 Microplate Reader (Molecular Devices, LLC). Data were normalized to luminescence values from vehicle-treated controls within each group (i.e., DMSO FBS or DMSO CSS), and plotted as % relative luminescence units (RLU). For oxidant treatments, cells were incubated with either H2O2 (Sigma, H1009) or methyl viologen dichloride hydrate (a.k.a paraquat, Sigma, 856177). For all in vitro experiments, cell culture dishes corresponding to a specific line were randomly assigned to the treatment groups.

Oxidative Stress Modulation Protocols

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The AP-1 inhibitor (NDGA), NADPH oxidase inhibitor (DPI), Thioredoxin inhibitor (PX-12), and the antioxidants N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC) and propyl gallate were obtained from Sigma. The JNK inhibitor (SP600125) was obtained from Enzo. NAC was initially reconstituted in DR 5% culture medium at 30 mM, its pH was adjusted to 7.0 using 1M NaOH solution and was filter-sterilised before use. Other inhibitors were reconstituted in DMSO (Sigma) or ethanol (propyl gallate) and appropriate solvent-only controls were included in all experiments. For some experiments, cells were treated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (Sigma) diluted in culture medium at the indicated concentrations for 48 h. The effects of H2O2 on cell growth were quantified by measuring cell biomass using the CellTiter 96 AQueous One cell proliferation assay (Promega) and results were expressed as % cell growth of each condition in comparison to untreated controls, as detailed elsewhere.63 (link)

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.
