Tween 20 tw20

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in Italy

Tween 20 (Tw20) is a non-ionic detergent commonly used in various laboratory applications. It is a polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate with the chemical formula C58H114O26. Tween 20 is a clear, viscous liquid used to solubilize and stabilize proteins, facilitate cell lysis, and enhance the performance of immunoassays and other biochemical techniques.

Neem oil was purchased by Neem Italia (Moniga del Garda (BS), Italy) and is characterised by an ECOCERT certificate (Biocert Italia IT013BC041 – ICEA 264BC001). Tween 20 (Tw20), Hepes salt {N-(2-hydroxyethyl) piperazine-N-(2-ethanesulphonic acid)} and pyrene were Sigma-Aldrich products (Sigma-Aldrich, Milan, Italy). Distilled water (Ecological Product System s.r.l., Rome, Italy) was used for all experiments. All other products and reagents were of analytical grade.

Splice-switching ON and Gene Delivery Vectors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 18-mer splice-switching ON with the sequence (5′-CCUCUUACCUCAGUUACA) was synthesized at GE Healthcare. The ON had a fully modified phosphorothioate backbone and 2′-O-methyl modified ribose sugar units. 187.15-5LNA (5′-aGacTuaCcaCuuCc) was used for the BTK gene cell models [21 (link)]. The G2-RR peptide dendrimer (Figure 1) used in the study was synthesized using solid phase synthesis while applying Fmoc/Boc protection strategy, as reported previously [17 (link)]. Lipofectin (a liposomal formulation of a 1:1 (w/w) ratio of DOTMA (N-[1-(2,3-dioleyloxy)- propyl]-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride) and DOPE (dioleoyl phosphotidylethanolamine)), and Lipofectamine 2000 (L2000) were both purchased from Invitrogen (Stockholm, Sweden). Polyvinylpyrrolidone “PVP” (average molecular weights: 10, 40, and 55 kDa); Polyvinylalcohol “PVA” (average molecular weights: 18, and 40 kDa); Pluronic F 68 “PF68”; Pluronic F 127 “PF127”; Tween 80 “TW80”; Tween 20 “TW20”; (2-Hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin “HP-β-CD” and all other sugars were bought from Sigma–Aldrich (Stockholm, Sweden).

Meloxicam (Techno Drugs & Intermediates Ltd. Mumbai, India), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMCE5 , Ethocel E5) with a viscosity of 5 mPa • s, (Dow Chemical Co., Midland, USA) and HPMC15000 (Metolose 90SH) with a viscosity of 15000 mPa • s, (Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. Tokyo, Japan), propylene glycol (PG) (Scharlau Chemie, Barcelona, Spain), Tween 20 (Tw20) (Sigma Aldrich Co., France), ethanol (Chemical Company, Romania), acetonitrile (Merk, Germany), methanol (Merk, Germany) as HPLC solvents with HPLC analytical grade; ultrapure water; potassium phosphate KH2PO4 (Merk, Germany) and phosphoric acid (Merk, Germany). Preparation of hydrophilic matrices Three formulations have been prepared, using two types of hydrophilic polymers (Table I). The used solvent evaporation method was described previously [2] , but briefly MX was added in ethanol and propylene glycol under continuous stirring. After that a mixture of Tween 20 and ultrapure water was added and stirring was continued for two hours to disperse the hydrophilic polymer. This dispersion was sonicated in an ultrasound bath for 30 minutes and casted into Petri dishes (9.8 cm diameter). The matrices were dried for 24 h at 40°C.

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.
