Chitosan Purification and Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chitosan acquired from a commercial supplier (Cheng Yue Plating Co. Ltd.; Pequim, China) was purified according to Santos et al. [46 (link)], and then dried at 30 °C. The average degree of acetylation ( DA¯ ) of chitosan was 5%, as determined by the 1H NMR analysis. The viscosity average molecular weight ( Mv¯ ) of chitosan was calculated from its intrinsic viscosity, which was determined in 0.3 mol L−1 acetic acid/0.2 mol L−1 sodium acetate buffer (pH 4.5) at 25.00 ± 0.01 °C, by using the Mark-Houwink-Sakurada equation, resulting in Mv¯ ≈ 87.000 g mol−1 [46 (link),47 (link)]. Glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTMAC) was acquired from Sigma-Aldrich (Saint Louis, MO, USA). All other reagents and solvents were used as acquired, i.e., without any purification.

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.
