The concentration of phenol was analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC, Ultimate 3000, Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) with a DAD detector at the wavelength of 270 nm and a reversed-phase column (Phenomenex, Torrance, CA, USA, C18, 5 µm, 4.6 × 250 mm). The mobile phase was composed of methanol and water (70:30, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, an injection volume of 20 μL, and a column temperature of 30 °C. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis was conducted using a Bruker EMXnano spectrometer to identify the generated reactive species. DMPO was applied as the spin-trapping agent for SO4· and ·OH, and TEMP was selected as the spin-trapping agent for detecting 1O2. Total organic carbon (TOC) analysis was determined using a Multi N/C 3100 TOC analyzer.

Photoluminescence (PL) spectra (excitation at 320 nm) were implemented on a spectrophotometer (ZolixLSP-X500A). The surface specific areas of the samples were measured by N2 isothermal adsorption–desorption spectroscopy (Autosorb-Iq2, Quantachrome). Photoelectrochemical tests were performed on an electrochemical station (CHI660E) three-electrode cell system using 500 W Xe lamp as light source. The total organic carbon (TOC) measures were performed on a TOC analyser (TOC-2000, Metash). Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra were acquired using an EMXnano spectrometer (Bruker).

Apoptosis Quantification in H9c2 Cells

To determine the apoptosis in cultured H9c2 cells, we used EPR based annexin-V-paramagnetic iron detection assay method using annexin-V magnetic microbeads kit from Miltenyi Biotec GmbH, Germany (Cat. No. 130–090-201). After treating cells with daunomycin, they were trypsinized, washed with 1x annexin-V binding buffer supplied by the manufacturer. Then the cells were incubated in 100 μL of annexin-V microbead suspension and incubated at 2–4°C for 20 minutes. At the end of incubation period, cells were loaded in a capillary tube and the annexin-V bound to cells was quantified by measuring conjugated iron spins using Bruker EMX Nano spectrometer at room temperature. EPR spectra were acquired under following scan conditions: microwave frequency, 9.63 GHz; power, 0.32 mW; attenuation 25 dB; modulation frequency, 100 kHz; modulation amplitude, 4.00 G; sweep time, 60 s; time constant, 20.48 s; receiver gain, 40 dB; magnetic field, 1610–4610 G. Absolute spin counts from spectra were calculated using Quantitative EPR module of Bruker Xenon Nano 1.3 software.

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra were scanned on a Thermo Nicolet iS50 FTIR spectrometer in the range of 400–4000 cm−1. UV–vis absorption spectra was evaluated with a spectrophotometer (UV-3600 Shimadzu, Japan). The X-ray photoelectronic spectroscopy (XPS) spectra were recorded with a spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific K-Alpha). The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) approach (ASAP 2460, Micromeritics, USA) was used to investigate the surface area and pore size distributions of the samples.

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.
