Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pristine NdFeO3 thin-film photocathodes were prepared
on fluorine-doped tin oxide conducting glass (TEC 15, 12–15
Ω/□, Pilkington) following a previously reported procedure
based on a citric acid-based sol–gel route.33 (link) The NdFeO3 precursor solution was prepared by
dissolving Nd(NO3)3·6H2O (Aldrich
Chemistry, 99%) 0.3 M and Fe(NO3)2·9H2O (Panreac, 98%) 0.3 M in water (Millipore, Elix 3). This
solution was magnetically stirred for 1 h and then the appropriate
amount of citric acid (Merck, 99.5%) was added to reach a concentration
of 0.6 M. The resulting solution was stirred for 20 h. Next, 30 μL·mL–1 acetylacetone (Fluka Analytical, 99.5%) and 30 μL·mL–1 Triton X-100 (laboratory grade, Sigma-Aldrich) was
added. An FTO glass plate (area to be covered: 1 cm2) was
cleaned by sonication (Selecta Ultrasonics) for 15 min in acetone
(VWR Chemicals, 99%) and ethanol (VWR Chemicals, 96%). It was then
spin-coated (Chemat Technology, KW-4A) at 1500 rpm for 20 s with 40
μL of the precursor solution. Finally, the electrodes were annealed
in air at 500 °C for 1 h using a programmable furnace (Conatec,
7800), with a heating rate of 5 °C·min–1. This process was repeated four times to obtain the optimized film
thickness (four layers, see Figure S1)
and a final thermal treatment at 640 °C was applied for 2 h to
obtain the crystalline perovskite films.

Optimized In-line IMER-CZE-MS/MS Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Analytical grade reagents were used. Porcine pancreas trypsin (Type IX-S, lyophilized powder, Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) was used as a proteolytic enzyme. For in-solution digestions, trypsin was freshly prepared in double-deionized water; for IMER digestions, the enzyme was dissolved in acetic acid (pH = 4) solution. N-α-benzoyl-l-arginine ethyl ester hydrochloride (BAEE) substrate was used to examine the parameters affecting IMER efficiency. Human serum albumin (HSA) (Sigma) and human tears were digested to test the reliability of the in-line IMER in a CZE-MS/MS setup. BAEE, urea, dithiothreitol (DTT), iodoacetamide (IAM), NH4HCO3, and NH4Ac stock solutions (all Sigma products) were prepared in double-deionized water (Elix-3, Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). HCl, NaOH, ammonium hydroxide, acetic acid (HAc) solutions, isopropanol, methanol, and acetonitrile were purchased from VWR (Radnor, PA, USA).

All reagents employed, unless otherwise stated, were of analytical grade. Standards of arbutine, resveratrol, ethyl gallate, syringaldehyde, polydatin, tyrosol, umbelliferon, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, gallic acid, homogentisic acid, p-coumaric acid, vanillic acid, ferulic acid, syringic acid, and trans-cinnamic acid were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany). The structures and CAS numbers of all studied phenolic compounds are summarized in Table 1. Stock standard solutions of all phenolics (ca. 1000 mg/L) were prepared in methanol in amber glass vials. Intermediate working solutions were then prepared by appropriate dilution with Milli-Q water. All stock solutions were stored at 4 °C.
Methanol and acetonitrile (both UHPLC-gradient grade), absolute ethanol and acetone were purchased from Panreac (Barcelona, Spain). Water was purified using an Elix 3 coupled to a Milli-Q system (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) and filtered through a 0.22 µm nylon membrane integrated into the Milli-Q system.

Diffusive (0.8 mm thick) and ferrihydrite resin gels (0.4 mm thick) were produced according to published procedures (Santner et al. 2010 (link); Zhang and Davison 1999 (link)). DGT samplers were obtained from DGT Research Ltd (Lancaster, UK). After DGT application, the samplers were retrieved and rinsed with lab water (18 MΩ cm, prepared by a Millipore Elix 3 water purification system). The samplers were then carefully opened, the ferrihydrite gel disk retrieved and eluted in 10 mL of 0.25 mol L−1 H2SO4. If low P recovery was expected, gels were eluted in 2 mL of 0.25 mol L−1 H2SO4. Ferrihydrite dissolves in 0.25 mol L−1 H2SO4, leading to a recovery of 100 % of the sorbed P (Santner et al. 2010 (link)).

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.
