Example 5

This was carried out using the polymerization apparatus shown in FIG. 1. An aqueous solution containing 10 weight % acrylamide (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) and 0.1 weight % potassium persulfate (Sigma-Aldrich Co. LLC.) was mixed with hot water that had been preheated to 200° C. The recovered reaction solution was evaporated to dryness; the polymerization conversion as measured by gravimetry was 54.1%. The residue was redissolved in water and was analyzed by size exclusion chromatography (instrument: Prominence GPC series, Shimadzu Corporation; detector RID-10A differential refractometer, Shimadzu Corporation; column: TSKgel GMPWXL, Tosoh Corporation): the obtained molecular weights were a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 39,600 and a number-average molecular weight (Mn) of 11,000; the molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) was 3.60; and a polymer having a relatively uniform length was thus obtained.

The POS and MCP monosaccharide composition was analyzed, following methanolysis (Manderson, et al., 2005) , by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD), using a DX-500 (Dionex, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) system and a CarboPac PA-20 column operated at 0.5 ml/min, as described previously (Hotchkiss, Nunez, Strahan, Chau, White, Marais, et al., 2015) . The HPAEC-PAD mobile phase consisted of 14 mM NaOH for 13 min, followed by a 0-120 mM CH3COONa gradient in 100 mM NaOH for 17 min and it was returned to 14 mM NaOH for 40 min prior to the next injection. Molecular weight (MW) was determined by high pressure size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC), with three TSKgel GMPWXL (Tosoh Bioscience, Tokyo, Japan) columns and four detectors (HELEOS II multi-angle laser light scattering, refractive index, 255-V2 differential pressure viscometer; Wyatt Technology, Santa Barbara, CA, USA) and a UV-1260 Infinity spectrophotometer (Agilient Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA), as reported previously (Qi, Chau, Fishman, Wickham, & Hotchkiss, 2014) . MW values reported are weight average molar mass values. The degree of methyl esterification was determined as described previously (Fishman, Chau, Cooke, & Hotchkiss, 2008) .

Starch Polysaccharide Molecular Weight Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A high-performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) system with a multiangle laser light scattering (MALLS) detector and a differential refractive index detector (RI) were used to determine the molecular weight and radii of gyration of the starch polysaccharide molecules. The high-performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) system consisted of a pump (Ultimate 3000, Dionex, Palo Alto, CA, USA), an injection valve (model 7021, Rheodyne, Palo Alto, CA, USA), a guard column (TSK PWH, Tosoh Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and two connected size exclusion columns: TSKgel GMPWXL (300 mm × 7.8 mm, Tosoh Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and TSKgel 2500 PWXL (300 mm × 7.8 mm, Tosoh Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). A multiangle laser light scattering (MALLS) detector (Dawn-DSP-F, Wyatt Technology, Santa Barbara, CA, USA) and a differential refractive index detector (model SE71, Shodex, Tokyo, Japan) were connected to the columns.
The flow rate of the mobile phase and the sample injection volume were 0.4 mL · min−1 and 500 μL, respectively. Calculation of the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) and radius of gyration (Rg) were performed using Astra 4.70 software (Wyatt Technology, Santa Barbara, CA, USA).

The MW was measured in Jasco equipment (LC-Net II ADC, Kyoto, Japan) with a refractive index detector (Jasco RI-1530) and injection valve (Rheodyne, loop 20 µL, Cotati, CA). Two different columns in sequence were used: TSKgelGMPWxl and TSKgel G3000PWxl (300 x 7.8 mmi.d., Tosoh Bioscience LLC, King of Prussia, PA) after calibration with 500, 110, 40, 6 kDa and maltose (Fluka, Buchs, Switzerland) . Blue dextran was used to test the void volume (V0) of the column. The elution buffer was 0.05 Mtris-hydrochloric acid at a flow rate 0.4 mL/min.Fractions of 250 L were collected using a Redifrac® fraction collector (Pharmacia Biotech, Uppsala, Sweden). Fractions were assayed for neutral sugars by the anthronemethod.

Molecular Weight and Chain Length Determination of Starch Using SEC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The distributions of molecular weight and chain length of the AS were determined by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), with which the molecules were separated based on size or hydrodynamic volume [22 (link)]. A solution of starch (20 mg) in 4 mL of DMSO (90% in distilled water, v/v) was heated at 100 °C for 15 min and then cooled to 25 °C under continuous stirring for 24 h. Subsequently, the mixture was diluted with 20 mL of 95% (v/v) ethanol and centrifuged at 3500× g for 10 min. The supernatant was discarded, and the pellet was reconstituted in 4 mL of deionized water, and the resulting suspension was stirred in a water bath at 100 °C for 15 min. The mixture was cooled to 25 °C and filtered through a 5-μm sieve, and then the filtrate was passed through a gel-permeation chromatography column equipped with refractive index detector (RID-20, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The mobile phase was an aqueous solution of 0.06% NaN3 (ultrasonicated before injection), the flow rate was 0.2 mL/min and the SEC column (TSK gel GMPWXL, TOSOH, Tokyo, Japan) temperature was 60 °C. The ASTRA 6.1 software package (Wyatt Technology Inc., Goleta, CA, USA) was used to determine the molecular weight, from which the polydispersity index (D) was calculated based on the following equation:
where Mw is the weight average molecular weight, and Mn is the number average molecular weight.

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.
