Characterization of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Experiments were performed with P25 Aeroxide TiO2 (Evonik Industries, Essen, Germany), a nanoparticulate TiO2 consisting of fused rutile and anatase crystalline phases at roughly a 20/80% ratio, respectively. TiO2 NPs were suspended in a Minimal Davis media (MD) designed to stabilize the particles, buffer the pH at 7.5, and maintain bacterial viability, as described by Lyon et al. [51 (link)]. Briefly, MD media consists of 0.45 g L−1 K2HPO4, 0.25 g L−1 sodium citrate, 0.5 g L−1 (NH4)2SO4, and 0.05 g L−1 MgSO4·7H2O. The lowered phosphate concentration reduces quenching of ROS by the media. Suspensions were produced via probe sonication (Q700, QSonica, Newton, CT, USA) run in pulse mode (12 s on, 3 s off) for 6 min total following the protocol by Taurozzi et al. [52 ] and subsequently characterized in terms of aggregate size, surface charge, and ROS production. Dynamic light scattering (ALV-CGS3, ALV-GMBH, Langen, Germany) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (Tecnai G2 Twin, FEI, Hillsboro, OR, USA) were performed to determine aggregate size, while electrophoretic mobility measurements (EPM) were taken with the Zetasizer Nano ZS (Malvern, Bedford, MA, USA).

Oxylipin Analytical Workflow Using LC-MS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Oxylipin standards were obtained from Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI). All lipid substrates were dissolved in methanol and combined to form stock solution mixes (1 μg mL−1) and stored under nitrogen at −20 °C until use. Water was either 18 mQ, or Omnisolv LC-MS grade (MilliporeSigma, Oakville, ON, Canada). HPLC and HiPerSolve LC-MS grade methanol and acetonitrile were purchased from VWR (Radnor, PA). Nano-TiO2 powder was obtained from Evonik (P25 Aeroxide TiO2, Parsippany, NJ) and was composed of a mixture of anatase (80%) and rutile (20%) TiO2. Particle characteristics have previously been determined, including primary particle size (21 nm), specific surface area (48.08 m2 g−1), and zeta potential (−56.6 mV).23,24

Lanthanum-Doped Titanium Dioxide Synthesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Titanium(iv) oxysulfate (titanyl sulfate, TiOSO4, Sigma-Aldrich spol. s.r.o., Prague, Czech Republic) was used as a TiO2 precursor. Lanthanum(iii) nitrate hexahydrate, La(NO3)3·6H2O Assay Spec. ≥99%, served as the La dopant source. During material synthesis, an aqueous solution of ammonia (NH3, solution purum p.a., 25–29%, Fisher Scientific, spol. s.r.o., Pardubice Czech Republic) was used for precipitation of the precursor and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, solution purum p.a., 30%, Fisher Scientific, spol. s.r.o., Pardubice Czech Republic) for pH reduction. 4-Chlorophenol (4-CP, purity ≥ 99.9%, Sigma-Aldrich, Prague, Czech Republic) and AEROXIDE TiO2-P25 (Evonik, Prague, Czech Republic) were used for the photocatalytic experiments.

Photocatalytic Gypsum Plaster Formulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The photocatalytic gypsum plaster was prepared by blending commercial gypsum plaster (Dolina Nidy), an addition of photocatalyst, and distilled water in a quantity sufficient to obtain a paste form. The proportions of the individual ingredients were 1.5 g of gypsum, 0.15 g of photocatalyst, and 0.9 cm3 of distilled water. Two types of photocatalysts were used: the commercial TiO2 (Evonik Aeroxide® TiO2 P25) and PANI-TiO2 in 10 wt % to the dry mass of the plaster. The blended gypsum was placed in a mold (30 mm diameter; 5 mm height) and dried at room temperature.

TiO2 Nanoparticle Characterization and Cytotoxicity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TiO2 NP (NM-105), an anatase/rutile nanopowder of nominal size 21 nm (15–60 nm), was received from the EU Joint Research Centre (Ispra, Italy). It was manufactured by Evonik (Essen, Germany), and marketed as Aeroxide TiO2 P-25. TiO2 NPs were fully characterised in previous EU projects [13 (link),22 (link)], and results are summarised in Table 1.
For the treatment of cells we used TiO2 NP dispersed by two different procedures, either with or without serum in stock solution. This can permit investigations on how the state of aggregation/agglomeration and stability of the dispersion could influence TiO2 NP cytotoxicity and genotoxicity.

TiO2 nanoparticles (AEROXIDE TiO2 P25) were purchased from Evonik Industries. The spherical NPs have an average radius of 10.5 nm,48 leading to a surface area-to-volume ratio of 28%. In the Experimental section, the number of equivalents of NPs are defined as 0.28× the total number of TiO2 formula equivalents in the mass given, i.e. the effective surface concentration of TiO2.

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.
