Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and Chronoamperometric (CA) measurements were performed by using CHI 660E electrochemical workstation (CH Instruments Inc., Austin, TX, USA). A three electrode cell had platinum wire (ø 0.5 mm, CHI115, from CH Instruments Inc.) as a counter electrode and a saturated calomel reference electrode (SCE, CHI150, from CH Instruments Inc.) was used for electrochemical measurements. During the CV measurement, initial potential is post as 0.0 V, and the initial scan direction is negative. All experiments were conducted at room temperature (about 26 °C).

The rGO/GCE was employed in an electrochemical cell as a WE along
with a counter electrode (CE, CHI115, CH Instruments Inc., Austin,
USA) and reference electrode (RE, CHI111, CH Instruments Inc., USA).
For the electropolymerization of MIP, the electrolyte was 1.0 ×
10–3 mol L–1 ANI, 1.0 × 10–3 mol L–1o-PDA,
and 5.0 × 10–3 mol L–1 CIP
as a template in a background medium of HCl solution (pH 3). The electropolymerization
was performed in a cyclic voltammogram. A potential window of 0.0
to 0.7 V was applied to WE at 80 mV s–1 scan rate
for 15 cycles (Figure S4a). The MIP-modified
electrode was eluted by immersion in 1.0 mol L–1 HCl for 3 min, creating imprinted cavities on the MIP. MIP/rGO/GCE
was thoroughly rinsed with UPW and stored in a desiccator for future
use. In addition, NIP/rGO/GCE was fabricated following a similar procedure
with no CIP during the electropolymerization. The CV curve obtained
from the electropolymerization is illustrated in Figure S4b.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We conducted in vivo electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements of the stainless steel electrode and Injectrode on the L7 DRG contralateral to those used for stimulation in cats C-D at the beginning of each experiment, as well as for the Injectrodes that were left in the insertion holes in cat D following all stimulation trials. We used a three-electrode setup, where the working electrode was the DRG stimulation electrode (either stainless steel or Injectrode), the counter electrode was a Platinum wire (CHI115, CH Instruments, Inc., Austin, TX, USA; 32 mm long, 0.5 mm diameter) placed distally in between the skin and muscle of the leg ipsilateral to the active electrode, and the reference electrode was a Ag|AgCl wire (CHI111, CH Instruments, Inc., Austin, TX, USA; 40 mm long, 0.5 mm diameter) placed in between the skin and muscle of the back near the active electrode. We used a potentiostat (CompactStat, Ivium Technologies, Eindhoven, The Netherlands) to perform EIS measurements. EIS frequency values ranged from 1 to 100,000 Hz at eight points per decade and a peak-to-peak voltage of 25 mV.

Electrochemical impedance of carbon fiber electrodes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The electrochemical impedances of carbon fiber electrodes before and after fire-sharpening process was measured at 1 kHz in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution using a 3-electrode based potentiostat system (ZIVE SP2; ZIVE lab., Seoul, Korea) with Ag/AgCl electrode (MF-2052; Bioanalytical Systems, Inc., West Lafayette, IN, USA) as a reference electrode and Pt electrode (CHI115; CH Instruments, Inc., Austin, TX, USA) as a counter electrode. After electrode implantation into the rat brain, the impedances of the carbon fiber electrode embedded with silk and tungsten supports were measured every two days for 1 month. Since there was no counter electrode, the impedance was measured using 2-electrode configuration with the implanted silver wire as a reference electrode and the carbon fiber as a working electrode using RHD2000 interface software (Intan technologies, Los Angeles, CA, USA). The impedance magnitudes measured at 1 kHz were compared between tungsten- and silk-support electrode arrays.

Electrochemical Study of Gold-Protein Interactions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The interactions of gold compounds with protein have been performed in solution by electrochemical investigations Voltammetry measurements were performed with an electrochemical workstation (CHI1140A, CH Instruments Inc., Austin, TX, USA). The Ag/AgCl reference electrode (in 3M KCl, CHI111, CH Instruments Inc), Glassy carbon working electrode (CHI 112, CH Instruments Inc) and platinum wire counter electrode (CHI115, CH Instruments Inc) inserted into the 5.0 ml glass cell. Due to the poor solubility of the present compounds in water, their solutions were prepared in ethanol. The GCE was polished as a mirror like surface with alumina slurry on the synthetic cloth before every electrochemical analysis. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV) were scanned from −0.4 to 1.0 V for various analyses for compounds 1–3 in the absence and in the presence of different concentration of lysozyme under physiological environment.

Mercaptohexanol (MCH), phosphate buffered saline (PBS), MgCl, Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP), serum, and vancomycin were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). vancomycin aptamer, [/5ThioMC6-D/CGAGG GTACC GCAAT AGTAC TTATT GTTCG CCTAT TGTGG GTCGG/3MeBlN/] with conjugated methylene blue and thiol ends, was purchased from Integrated DNA Technologies (Coralville, IA, USA) and has been previously characterized. [18 (link)] The vancomycin aptamer is often used as a vehicle for wider aptamer research and was therefore an ideal test aptamer for proof-of-concept testing with peak-tracking software (vancomycin detection is not the focus of this paper). Controlled-temperature test enclosures (Happybuy Reptile Incubator 25L) and faradaic shields (TACKMETER WiFi Router Shield, and Electriduct ½” Tinned Copper Metal Braid) were purchased from Amazon (Seattle, CA, USA).

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.
