DMEM (Dulbecco’s modified eagle medium) powder was procured from Gibco by Life Technology (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), calcium chloride (CaCl2.2H2O), and alpha-ketoglutaric acid disodium salt hydrate salts were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, MO, USA). Anti-cancer drug AZ628, DMSO (Dimethyl sulphoxide) and thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) were obtained from Sigma–Aldrich (St Louis, MO, USA). DMEM-high glucose liquid media, FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum), TrypLE Express and penicillin-streptomycin were acquired from Sigma–Aldrich (St Louis, MO, USA). Acetonitrile (ACN) was from Fischer Scientific (Loughborough, UK). Bradford 1× dye reagent was purchased from Bio-rad Laboratories (Hercules, CA, USA).

Metsulfuron methyl, MM (CAS: 74223-64-6, 99.3% purity, pKa: 3.3), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 2,4-D (CAS: 94-75-7, 99.3% purity, pKa: 2.98) and paraquat, PQ (CAS: 75365-73-0, 98.0% purity) were purchased from Riedel-de Haën, Sigma-Aldrich. The 10 mM stock solutions at pH 6.0 ± 0.2 were prepared in 0.01 M NaCl. pH 6.0 ± 0.2 was adjust for all solutions using small volumes of HCl and/or NaOH solutions (1 M). pH measurements were performed by using a Cole Parmer Model 59003-25 pH meter with an Alpha® model PY-41 electrode.
The molecular structures of all contaminants are shown in Table S1 of the ESI. Considering the pKa values of 2,4-D and MM their anionic species are predominant at working pH; on the other hand, BAC-12, BAC-14 and PQ are quaternary ammonium salts, therefore they only form cations in aqueous solution.44 Calcium chloride CaCl2·2H2O (CAS: 10035-04-8, 99.0% purity) was supplied by Sigma-Aldrich Company. All other chemicals were analytical grade.

The oil phase was composed of sunflower oil (Sainsburys) and different concentrations of sorbitan monooleate (Span 80, Sigma-Aldrich). The aqueous phase was composed of deionized water, ludox HS40 (40 wt% silica suspension in H2O, diameter of 23 nm, Sigma-Aldrich), iron oxide (Fe3O4, dry powder, diameter of 50-100 nm, 97%, Alfa Aesar) and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80, Merck). The pH was between 9 and 10. In this range, both silica and iron oxide nanoparticles are negatively charged, exhibiting a zeta potential of magnitude greater than -30 mV. Sodium chloride (NaCl, Sigma-Aldrich) and calcium chloride (CaCl2.2H2O, Sigma-Aldrich) were used to induce a colloidal instability.
Absolute ethanol (98% v/v, Sigma-Aldrich) and polyoxyethylenesorbitan monolaurate (Tween 20, Aqueous organics) were used during the cleaning and redispersion stages. All the chemicals were employed as received without additional purification.

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.
