Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The size and morphology of the nanoparticles were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (JEM-100CX; JEOL, Tokyo, Japan) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (Helios NanoLab 650; FEI, Eindhoven, the Netherlands). The zeta-potentials and particle size distributions were determined using a ZetaPlus particle size and a zeta potential analyzer (Brookhaven Instruments, Holtsville, NY, USA) in water at 25°C in accordance with the manufacturer’s operating manual. The 1H NMR spectra of the PEG-FA and PPF were recorded using a Bruker AVANCE 600 nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (Bruker, Fällanden, Switzerland). The lyophilized PEG-FA and PPF were dissolved in deu-terated DMSO (DMSO-d6) and D2O, respectively, before measurements.

The FANP were prepared by an emulsion/solvent evaporation method39 (link)40 (link). In brief, 25 mg of MPEG-PCL, 2 mg of FA-PEG-PCL and 3 mg of FITC-PEG-PCL were dissolved in 1 mL of dichloromethane and then added to 5 mL of 0.6% sodium cholate hydrate solution. Subsequently, the solution was sonicated by a probe sonicator at 200 W for 150 s on ice. Then dichloromethane was removed by rotary evaporation and the FITC loaded FANP was condensed to a fixed concentration by ultrafiltration at 4000 g. To prepare DiR loaded FANP, 3 mg FITC-PEG-PCL was changed to 3 mg MPEG-PCL and 600 μg DiR was added, and then prepared as above. After changed FA-PEG-PCL to MPEG-PCL, the FITC loaded NP and DiR loaded NP could be obtained using above described procedures.
The mean particle sizes and zeta potentials of FANP and NP were determined by Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS90 instrument (Malvern Instrument Ltd., UK). The morphology of FANP and NP was captured by transmission electron microscope (TEM) (JEM-100CX, JEOL, Japan).

Virus-containing allantoic fluids were centrifuged at 3000 RPM for 30 min. The supernatant was separated and then subjected to ultracentrifugation at 52500g for 40 min. The resulting pellets were diluted in a minimal volume of 0.05 M phosphate buffer. Virus specimens were prepared on formvar film-coated grids with the addition of a layer of evaporated carbon. The specimens were contrasted with 3% phosphotungstic acid solution and then examined in an electron microscope JEM 100 CX (JEOL, Japan).

Transmission Electron Microscopy of Magnetically Enriched Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For conventional TEM, magnetically enriched cells were added to a Formvar-coated copper grid and imaged on a JEM-100CX (JEOL, Japan) transmission electron microscope operated at 80 kV. the TEM images were processed using ImageJ software to determine cell and magnetosome lengths, widths, and shape factors (width/length). Grids for high-resolution (HR) TEM were prepared as described for conventional TEM, and HR images were acquired using a Tecnai G2 F20 FEG transmission electron microscope (FEI, USA) operated at 200 kV and equipped with a 4k × 4k Gatan UltraScan 1,000 CCD camera. The HR images were analyzed using the Digital Micrograph software (Gatan, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The particle size distribution and surface charge of liposomes (0.5 mg/mL) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) were measured by dynamic laser-light scattering (DLS) using Zetasizer (Nano ZS, Malvern Instruments Ltd., UK). Liposomes were placed on copper grid films and stained with 2% (w/v) phosphotungstic acid for morphological observation by transmission electron microscopy (TEM, JEM-100CX, JEOL, Japan).

The as-prepared materials were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) in a Rigaku D/Max-2500 powder diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation (λ = 1.5418 Å). The morphologies of the synthesized samples were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM, JEOL, SM-71480) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM, JEOL, JEM-100CX). The chemical composition of the as-prepared materials was analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, ThermoFisher, K-Alpha+). N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms were obtained using TriStar II 3020 (Micromeritics, USA) at liquid nitrogen temperature (77.3 K). The specific surface area (SBET) was calculated by the conventional Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method. Thermogravimetry was performed using a TGA Q50 (TA Instruments) analyzer. Raman spectra were obtained using a Raman spectrometer (Renishaw, Model 1000) at an excitation wavelength of 514 nm.

The particle dimensions were assessed by TEM using a JEM 100-CX (JEOL GmbH, Germany). For the TEM measurements the colloidal samples were diluted in degassed and deionised water, treated with ultrasound to disperse any agglomerates and precipitated on carbon coated copper grids (Quantifoil Micro Tools GmbH, Germany). The pictures were manually processed in ImageJ. A number of 50 particles per sample were measured in random order.

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.
