In all, 2.5% glutaraldehyde (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) was used to fix cell samples for 1 h, and then fixed for 2 h in 2% osmium tetraoxide, washed with water, and stained with 0.5% uranyl acetate for 12 h. After dehydration and polymerization, samples were cut as ultrathin sections of 70–90 nm with an ultramicrotome, (EM UC7, Leica), and then a Tecnai G2 TWIN transmission electron microscope (FEI, USA) was used to view and capture images.

NP cell samples were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde (Sigma‒Aldrich, USA) for 1 h followed by 2% osmium tetraoxide for 2 h. After washing with water, the cell samples were stained with 0.5% uranyl acetate for 12 h, followed by dehydration and polymerization. Ultrathin sections were cut at thicknesses of 70–90 nm with an ultramicrotome (EM UC7, Leica) and imaged with a Tecnai G2 TWIN transmission electron microscope (FEI, USA).

The absorbance spectra of the purified
GNS (both PEGylated and bare) suspended in Milli-Q water were recorded
using a multimode microplate reader, FLUOstar Omega (BMG Labtech),
and a UV-3600 (Shimadzu) spectrophotometer. The morphology and the
particle size distribution of Au NPs were evaluated by using FEI Tecnai
G2 Twin transmission electron microscope, and HAADF STEM
images and EDX maps were acquired using FEI Titan 80-300. Hydrodynamic
particle size distribution and nanoparticle concentration were measured
by nanoparticle-tracking analysis using a NanoSight NS500 instrument
(Malvern, Worcestershire, U.K.).

Transmission Electron Microscopy Sample Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As previously published with some modifications (Manning and Kuehn, 2011 (link)), to prepare samples for TEM imaging, metal grids (Electron Microscopy Sciences; 300 mesh copper, formvar/carbon) were cleaned using the Pelco EasiGlow Machine Vacuum and then 10 μL of sample was added. Samples were pipetted onto the grid and let set for 1 min before wicking away excess with a Whatman filter paper. The samples were stained by applying 10 μL of 2% uranyl acetate, incubated 1.5 min, and excess uranyl acetate removed by wicking with Whatman filter paper. Grids were stored in Petri dishes at room temperature. Samples were imaged using a FEI Tecnai G2 Twin Transmission Electron Microscope with a spot size of 2 at a voltage of 120kV.

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.
