NT2D1 were cultured as described above for 24 h. Samples then were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in cacodylate buffer (0.1 M pH 7.3) overnight, and post-fixed with 1% osmium tetroxide in cacodylate buffer (1 M). Then, samples were dehydrated with increasing ethanol percentage (30–90% in water for 5 min, twice at 100% for 15 min), dried in a critical point dryer (EMITECH K850), sputter coated with platinum–palladium (Denton Vacuum DESKV), and observed with a Supra 40 FE SEM (Zeiss).

Physicochemical Characterization of PAO

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The physicochemical properties of PAO were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in detail. Except for the TGA measurement, all characterizations were performed at room temperature. FT-IR spectroscopy measurement was mounted on a Thermofisher Nicolet IS 50 FT-IR spectrometer. Raman spectroscopy analysis was performed on a LabRam HR Raman spectrometer. SEM images were obtained with a ZEISS SUPRA 40 FE-SEM. Powder XRD patterns were collected on a RigaKu D/max 2550 X-ray Diffractometer with CuKα radiation (λ = 0.15406 nm). TGA curve measurement was examined on a Shimadzu TGA-50 thermogravimetric analyzer from room temperature to 800 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C min−1 with a nitrogen flow rate of 50 mL min−1. XPS spectroscopy was performed on an ESCALab220i-XL surface microanalysis system (VG Scientific) equipped with an Al Kα ( = 1486.6 eV) source at a chamber pressure of 3 × 10−9 mbar. The surface charging effect was corrected with C 1s peak at 284.4 eV as a reference. Solid-state 1H and 13C NMR spectra were acquired on a Varian Inova 400 MHz spectrometer.

Structural and Compositional Analysis of Nanoparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sizes and morphologies of ASNs and MSNs were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) using a Zeiss Supra 40 FESEM unit at an accelerating voltage of 5 to 10 kV and by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) using a Hitachi H-7600 TEM operating at an accelerating voltage of 80 kV. High-resolution TEM (HRTEM) and scanning TEM (STEM) analyses were performed on an FEI TALOS F200X TEM operating at an accelerating voltage of 200 kV. The chemical compositions of ASNs and MSNs were analyzed simultaneously using an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) detector attached to Zeiss Supra 40 FESEM. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patterns were produced using a Philips X’Pert-MPD Diffractometer equipped with a monochromatic X-ray of Cu Kα1 radiation (λ = 0.15405 nm) at 1.6 kW (40 kV, 30 mA).

Samples of threads gauge 2 (Coated, Braided Lactomer 9-1) colonized by S. epidermidis, were fixed in paraformaldehyde (4%) in phosphate saline buffer over night and then dehydrated with increasing ethanol percentage (30–90% in water for 5 min, twice 100% for 15 min). The samples were then treated in a Critical Point Dryer (EMITECH K850, Quorum technologies Ltd., Laughton, East Sussex, UK) sputter coated with platinum-palladium (Denton Vacuum DESKV, Denton Vacuum, Moorestown, NJ, USA) and observed with Supra 40 FE-SEM (Zeiss, Germany).

Ultrastructural Mapping of C. elegans Neuron Connectivity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Four samples were fixed by chemical fixation or high pressure freezing and freeze substitution as previously described 49 (link). Ultrathin sections were cut using a RMC Powertome XL, collected onto grids, and imaged using either a Philips CM10 TEM or Zeiss Supra 40 FE-SEM. Sections were elastically aligned 50 and volumetrically reconstructed using TrakEM2 51 (link) . The MCM cell bodies were identified in the EM sections based on position and morphology and in comparison to similar hermaphrodite sections. This identity was further confirmed by the identification of a posterior projection, as no other cell with its soma in the same region is known to project posteriorly. This was followed by serial tracing of the projections to establish their morphology and connectivity. Synaptic connectivity and skeleton diagrams were determined using Elegance 52 (link) . Circuit diagrams of connectivity were generated using Cytoscape 53 (link). We estimated the anatomical strength of synaptic connectivity between two neurons by summing the number of serial sections where we observed the ultrastructural morphology presynaptic components using the same criteria as 14

Images of the powder of four batches of α rifaximin were recorded with a SUPRA™ 40 FESEM (Zeiss, Germany) using a voltage of 1 kV.
Each sample was placed on a small piece of double-sided conductive tape that had been previously applied on a metallic sample holder. A weak nitrogen flow was used to remove the particles in excess. Images were recorded at magnification ranging from 300× to 5000×.

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.
