The loading efficiency (LE%) was determined by centrifugation. The GH-loaded NPs were separated from the solution by ultracentrifugation (Beckman OptimaTM LE-80 K Ultracentrifuge, GMI, Ramsey, MN, USA) at 14,000 rpm for 40 min. The supernatants that had recovered from centrifugation were decanted. The amount of non-incorporated GH in the supernatant was determined at 288 nm using a Hewlett-Packard 8452 A Diode Array spectrophotometer (Walldorf, Germany). The samples were prepared and measured in triplicate. The LE (%) was calculated using the following equation:  LE%=total amount of GH(g) free amount of GH(g)total amount of GH(g)×100

The study was performed using a water shaking bath (IKASH-B20, Staufen, Germany). The tests were performed at a rotation speed of 50 rpm and maintained at 37 ± 0.5 °C in 100 mL PBS (pH 7.2). Five milliliter samples of the prepared solutions were placed in dialysis membranes (MWCO 500–1000 Da). At certain intervals, aliquots (2 mL) were withdrawn for the analysis. After each sampling stage, the volume was restored with 2 mL of PBS. The amount of GH released was determined by UV spectroscopy (absorbance at 288 nm) using a Hewlett-Packard 8452 A Diode Array spectrophotometer. Each in vitro drug release experiment was performed in triplicate. The percentage of drug release was calculated using the data obtained from the study.

Absorption measurements were performed using a Hewlett-Packard 8452A Diode Array spectrophotometer, using a cuvette filled with pure solvent as the blank. For PL spectroscopy, we used the 405-nm ion line of a diode laser operated at an excitation power density of ~1250Wm-2 as the excitation source. The PL was collected by an optical fiber (numerical aperture ~0.22) and directed to an Ocean Optics USB 2000+ miniature spectrometer. The efficiency of the system was corrected with an Ocean Optics calibrated light source. Photographs of the PE layers were taken with a Canon Rebel T3i camera.

Percent polymeric color (% PC) of extracts was determined using the spectrophotometric assay of Giusti and Wrolstad (2001) [33 (link)]. Sample extracts were diluted with water in order to have an absorbance reading between 0.5 and 1.0 at 512 nm when evaluated by an 8452A Diode Array Spectrophotometer (Hewlett Packard, Palo Alto, CA, USA). For analysis, 0.2 mL of 0.90 M potassium metabisulfite was added to 2.8 mL diluted sample (bisulfite bleached sample) and 0.2 mL of DI water was added to 2.8 mL diluted sample (non-bleached, control sample). After equilibrating for 15 min, but not more than 1 h, samples were evaluated at λ = 700 nm, 512 nm, and 420 nm. Color density was calculated using the control sample according to the following formula:

In Vitro Release Study of Fluconazole-CDs in Ophthalmic Gels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The in vitro release of fluconazole–CDs from the in situ-gelled systems was studied using a membraneless model using an no. 2 USP automated dissolution testing apparatus consisting of a Prolabo Dissolutest fitted with a Hewlett Packard 8452A diode array spectrophotometer. Similar membraneless methods using a modified dissolution testing apparatus and high volumes of simulated tear fluid was implemented for another study in order to characterize in vitro drug release of ophthalmic gels [37 (link)–38 (link)]. These models were demonstrated as more useful than membrane models (i.e., using Franz cells) as they mimic the clearance effect and dilution of the tear in the eye surface.
Hydrogels (5 g) were placed in open, 4 cm diameter, glass containers which were placed in the bottom of a beaker filled with 400 mL of simulated tear fluid at 37 °C and 75 rpm. The in situ gel formation occurred during the sol–gel transition upon contact with the simulated tear fluid.

UV-vis spectra were obtained on a Hewlett-Packard 8452A diode-array spectrophotometer. Nanoparticle samples were freeze dried and redissolved in CH2Cl2 for UV-vis spectral analysis. 1H NMR (300 MHz) spectra were recorded on a UnityInova 300/51 instrument in CDCl3. 1H NMR were referenced to the signals for the residual protiochloroform at 7.26 ppm.

Membrane Fluidity of Brain Endothelial Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Brain endothelial cells from wild type and ApoB-100 transgenic mice were treated overnight with 10 µg/ml LDL or 10 µg/ml oxLDL. Control cells received culture medium. After treatment, cells were collected by trypsinization, washed once with PBS, resuspended in Ringer-Hepes buffer and counted. The density of the cells for the membrane fluidity tests was optimized by absorbance measurement to OD360 = 0.05 (Hewlett Packard 8452A Diode Array Spectrophotometer). Cells were labeled with 0.2 μM TMA-DPH (1-(4 trimethylammoniumphenyl)-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene; Life Technologies, USA). Fluorescence anisotropy was measured on a T-format fluorescence spectrometer (Quanta Master QM-1, Photon Technology International, USA). Excitation and emission wavelengths were 360 and 430 nm (6 nm slits). Cells were kept under a continuous stirring at 37°C [25 (link), 26 (link)]. Anisotropy data were acquired in every second for 10 min. After measuring baseline anisotropy, we introduced a strong membrane fluidizer, benzyl alcohol (30 mM, Merck, Germany) as a positive control. Transgenic and wild type data were calculated and plotted as treatment vs. fluorescent anisotropy.

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.
