Sourced in Spain

Sodium azide is a chemical compound with the formula NaN3. It is a white, crystalline solid that is commonly used as a preservative and as a reagent in various laboratory applications. Sodium azide has a range of functions, including its use as a preservative and in the synthesis of other compounds. However, a detailed description of its core functions would require additional context that is not provided in the request.

Measuring Respiratory Activity in C. albicans

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C. albicans strains were grown in YPG at 30°C until they reached an O.D. ≈1–1.5. Cells from 20–30 mL cultures were recovered by low speed centrifugation (5,000 rpm, 3 min), washed twice with PBS and suspended in 1 mL PBS. To quantify oxygen consumption, an oxygen electrode (Hansatech Instruments) was used. The oxygen electrode chamber was maintained at 30°C, filled with 1 mL PBS and 10 μL of the cell suspension was introduced in the electron chamber. Different compounds that inhibit specific complexes of the electron transport chain were added to the electrode chamber to quantify the contribution of different complexes to the respiration rate. Antimycin A (Sigma-Aldrich) and sodium azide (Panreac) were added at the concentration indicated in the figures to the electron chamber. The relative respiration rate was determined by dividing the respiration rate in the presence of the inhibitor by the respiration rate in its absence (basal).

Mitochondrial Respiration Inhibitor Screening

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Atovaquone, endochin and TCAMS compounds (GSK), stigmatellin (Fluka), FCCP (Sigma) and proguanil (Molekula) were dissolved in DMSO. Sodium azide (Panreac), potassium cyanide (Sigma) and chloroquine (Sigma) in water and myxothiazol, antimycin and rotenone (Sigma) in ethanol. In the assay, the final concentration for DMSO or ethanol was 0.5% (v/v), a concentration that did not inhibit oxygen consumption and which was used as a 0% inhibition control (Control 1).

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.
