Nitric Oxide Release Measurement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nitric oxide release from the NO releasing inserts was measured using a Sievers Chemiluminescence Nitric Oxide Analyzer (NOA) 280i (Boulder, CO). The NOA was calibrated before via a two-point calibration of N2 gas passed through a NOA zero air filter and a standard of 44.3 ppm NO in N2 gas. Saline solution (0.9% sodium chloride) was made using 18.2 M Ω deionized water using a Milli-Q filter (Milli-q purified water) from EMD Millipore (Billerica, MA). The NOA sample cell was filled with 11 mL of saline solution and the NO releasing insert was placed below a floating polypropylene barrier to keep the insert fully submerged at all times. The saline solution reservoir was bubbled with N2 gas at a rate of 50 mL/min to allow the NO generated from GSNO to escape from the solution and be carried into the NOA by the N2 sweep gas. All NOA sample cells were wrapped in aluminum foil to shield the samples from light exposure. NO release was continuously monitored for 72 h at room temperature (24°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.
