Characterizing Ceramic Membrane Microstructure

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two types of ceramic membranes were prepared according to Paucar et al. [18 (link)]. The Peruvian clay ceramic membrane was made of clay obtained from the Department of Junín, Peru. The craft shop clay ceramic membrane was prepared using clay obtained from the Craft Shop of Idaho State University in Idaho, USA. These ceramic membranes were imaged on an FEI Quanta 200 FEG scanning electron microscope. To obtain an image of the material porosity, each ceramic disk was broken along one edge to obtain a flat surface and mounted to a microscope stub using silver paste. Disk fragments were coated with gold-palladium in an SPI sputter coater to minimize sample charging during imaging. Each membrane was imaged at low (~1.3 mm HFW [horizontal field width]) and high (~200–400 µm HFW) magnification. Secondary and backscattered image inputs were combined in a composite image to better resolve both the surface texture and porosity. After careful observation of SEM images (which are presented in the discussion section), it was decided that Peruvian clay ceramic membrane be used as a separator in this study.

MC3T3-E1 Cell Seeding and SEM Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The established MC3T3-E1 line of murine pre-osteoblastic cells was obtained from ATCC and cultured in α-MEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin sulfate (Gibco, BRL, USA) in a humidified 5% CO2 balanced-air incubator at 37 ºC, with the medium being changed every other day. The scaffolds were seeded with 1.0×105 MC3T3-E1 cells suspended in 100 μl of complete medium, and incubated for 4 h to permit cell attachment. The cell seeded scaffolds were then transferred to a 24-well plate containing 2 ml of complete medium per well. The control group consisted of the same number of cells seeded in wells containing 2 ml of α-MEM medium. At culture intervals of 3, 7 and 14 days, glass scaffolds with attached cells were removed, rinsed twice with warm phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and soaked overnight in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in PBS. The fixed samples were then rinsed with PBS three times and dehydrated with a graded tetra butyl alcohol series. The samples were allowed to dry in air for 12 h at room temperature, sputter-coated with Au/Pd, and then observed using SEM (Quanta 200 FEG, FEI Co., The Netherlands) at 5 kV accelerating voltage.

Comprehensive Material Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The elemental compositions of the samples were determined by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis conducted on an FEI Quanta 200 FEG environmental scanning electron microscope (SEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were performed on the crystals using an X-ray diffractometer (Ultima III Rigaku, Cu-Kα radiation as an X-ray source). The scanning rate of 3° per minute and 2θ scanned from 10° to 70° were used to collect XRD data. Raman spectra were taken by a backscattering geometry on a LabRam HR800 Microscope system (Horiba Jobin Yvon), using the 633 nm a He-Ne laser as an optical source. Standard four-probe technique was used for resistivity and Hall-effect measurements on a Quantum Design PPMS-9.

To visualize the alteration in cuticular wax content, a Quanta 200 FEG (FEI) scanning electron microscope was used to analyze the images of Arabidopsis plant leaves without any form of preparation [71 (link)]. The adaxial side of 4-week-old rosette leaves of GmSHN1-OE1, GmSHN9-OE1, and WT plants were collected and directly placed onto the stub. The accelerating voltage of the ESEM was 15 kV.

The crystalline phase detection was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD, Quanta 200FEG, FEI, America) using Cu Kα radiation. The morphology of KTN particles and films' cross-section was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM, S-4700, Hitachi, Japan). The films were plated Al on both sides to investigate the dielectric properties with the impedance analyzer (Agilent 4294A, America). The breakdown strength was tested on the dielectric withstand voltage test (HT-50, Guilin Electrical Equipment Scientific Research Institute, China) under the direct current voltage of 200 V s−1.

MDR-2 E. coli with or without GO-Ag (14 µg ml−1) was cultured in LB broth for 3 h. After that, the bacteria were collected and washed three times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4). Next, the bacteria were fixed with 2.5% glutaraldehyde solution, and then the cells were dehydrated by sequential treatment with 50%, 70%, 90% and 100% ethanol for 15 min. Finally, bacteria were transferred to a silicon wafer for gold sputter coating, and then imaged under SEM (Quanta 200FEG, FEI).

Natural samples were identified using an x-ray diffractometer (X’Pert Pro MPD, PANalytical, The Netherlands) equipped with Cu Kα irradiation (λ = 1.5406 Å). The patterns were recorded from 5° to 85° (2θ) with a scanning speed of 2°/min.

The morphology of natural S0 was observed by environmental SEM (Quanta 200FEG, FEI, USA) equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy detector at 15.0 kV. The colloidal solution in photochemical experiments was collected and dripped onto a holey carbon film supported by a Cu grid. After air-drying, the prepared sample was loaded into the holder of transmission electron microscope (Tecnai F20, FEI, USA) and observed at 200 kV. Digital micrograph version 3.6.5 (Gantan Ltd.) was applied for the image processing.

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.
