Stool Collection from Allogeneic HCT Patients

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Stools from allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) patients were collected at multiple time points during the patient’s first 100 days post-transplant, both during hospitalisation by nurses and at home following discharge, in a hat that sits on the toilet seat. Caregivers/patients were instructed to collect bowel movements with a maximum of two per day and to collect a sample of ‘native’ stool for Bristol scoring, as well as to scoop stool into PrecisionTM Stool Collectors preloaded with 50 ml EDTA without glass beads for subsequent DNA analysis. The specimens were then delivered to the laboratory within 48 hours of bowel movement, at which time the native sample was assessed for Bristol score and the EDTA-stabilised sample was further processed as follows: Stool weight to buffer volume ratios were not adjusted. Stools were homogenised in the PrecisionTM Stool Collectors by vortexing on a Fisherbrand™ Analog Vortex Mixer (Catalog No. 02-215-365) on setting 9 until the slurry appeared homogenous to visual inspection. The stool slurries were aliquoted and frozen at −80 °C.

Seed-Mediated Synthesis of Spherical AuNPs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Spherical AuNPs were synthesized in two steps by a seed-mediated approach using cetyl tri-methyl ammonium chloride (CTAC) as a surfactant. In the first step, seed solution was prepared by vigorous mixing (500 rpm for 1 h at 30 °C; using analog vortex mixer (Fisher Scientific, USA) of 10 mL of HAuCl4 (2.5 × 10–4 M) aqueous CTAC (0.1 M) solution with 0.45 mL of cold NaBH4 (0.02 M). Further, the seed solution was aged for 60 minutes (at 30 °C) to decompose the excess NaBH4. In the second step, the growth solution was prepared by adding 514 μL of HAuCl4 (4.86 mM), 10 μL of NaBr (0.01 M), and 90 μL of ascorbic acid (0.04 M) to 5 mL of aqueous CTAC (0.1 M) solution. Finally, 25 μL of the seed solution was added to a colorless growth solution, under vigorous agitation, and left undisturbed overnight at room temperature. To control the size of the AuNPs, the molar ratio of the ascorbic acid to the seed solution was varied.

High-Pressure Processing of Whole Milk Foam

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

EXAMPLE 3

Whole milk (3.98% fat; 5.02% total solids) was processed using the high pressure jet (previously described) at pressures 0, 125, 250, 375, and 500 MPa. After processing, milk was vortexed (Fisher Scientific, Analog Vortex Mixer) for one minute. The percent foam expansion was calculated immediately after processing and one hour after foaming, using the following formula:

Foam expansion ( % ) = 100 · ( V V - V 0 V 0 )

Where Vv is the volume of milk after vortexing and Vo is the initial volume of milk (10 mL) FIG. 9 shows that the percent foam expansion reached 140% when whole milk was processed at 500 MPa and that one hour later the foam expansion was 80% when whole milk was processed at 500 MPa.

Electrospun Mat Coating Procedure

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A CS solution was prepared by first dissolving CS in 0.5 M AA at 2.5% w/v ratio and then diluting to a 0.5% w/v CS solution in 0.5 M AA. PAA and pDADMAC solutions were prepared by diluting the as-received stock solution to 0.5 w/v% in DI water. Before use, each diluted solution was first vortexed using a Fisher Scientific Analog Vortex Mixer (02215365). To coat, first an electrospun mat was punched into a circle with a 2.54 cm diameter using a Spearhead® 130 Power Punch MAXiset (Fluid Sealing Services, Wausau, WI, USA). Six mats at a time were submerged in a square petri dish containing 20 mL of one of the coating solutions described above. The petri dish was then placed onto a 120 V Lab Line 3-D rotator (model #4630, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) for 30 min. After rotation, the mats were removed from solution, rinsed with DI water, and dried for 24 h.

Stool weight to buffer volume ratios were adjusted to 1:4 by adding additional TEN2 buffer if stool weight was > 10 g. Buffer was not added if the stool weight was < 10 g. Stools were homogenised in PrecisionTM Stool Collectors by vortexing on a Fisherbrand™ Analog Vortex Mixer (Catalog No. 02-215-365) on setting 9 until the sample appeared homogenous to visual inspection.

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.
