Starch Structure Analysis by FTIR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The spectra of the starch samples were obtained using a PerkinElmer® Spectrum Two spectrometer (PerkinElmer, Houston, TX, USA) with a resolution of 4 cm−1, wavelength range from 4000 to 600 cm−1, and 32 scans. The starch spectra were obtained via the attenuated total reflection (ATR) method.
The effect of ball milling on the ordered structure of the starch was also evaluated using FTIR spectra. It has been reported that bands between 950 and 1100 cm−1 are sensitive to changes in the starch structure, especially those at approximately 995 and 1044 cm−1, where the first is commonly related to the amorphous structure of the starch and the latter to the ordered structure of the starch [15 (link),16 (link)]. Therefore, the 995:1044 cm−1 intensity ratio was used to indicate the degree of order in the starch structure.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analyses of simvastatin, DMbCD, simvastatin /DMbCD physical mixture (PM ) and simvastatin /DMbCD complex were carried out on a simultaneous thermal analyzer STA 449 F3 Jupiter ® (Netzsch-Gerätebau GmbH, Germany). Samples weighing between 5 and 10 mg were loaded into open aluminum pans and placed into the DSC cell. The cell had a nitrogen purge flowing at approximately 20 mL min -1 . The DSC was used to analyze the samples from 40-200 °C at a 10 °C/min heating rate. An indium pan served as reference, and all scans were performed in triplicate. The instrument was calibrated before sample analysis using an indium standard.
Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) analyses of the samples were performed using a Perkin-Elmer Spectrum Two spectrometer (PerkinElmer Corporation, USA). Simvastatin, DMbCD, simvastatin /DMbCD PM and simvastatin /DMbCD complex was mixed separately with IR grade KBr in the weight ratio of 100:1 for tablet preparation. Final spectra were performed in a range of 400-4000 cm -1 with 2 cm -1 resolution. All samples were analyzed in triplicate.

First, 1 mg of dry TRAIL IBs powder and 200 of mg pure KBr were mixed, grinded and tableted. Then, FT-IR spectra were obtained from the tablet using a Spectrum Two spectrometer (PerkinElmer, USA). Each spectrum was obtained between 4000 and 400 cm−1 at a resolution of 4 cm−1 with 256 scans. The FT-IR spectra was processed with Fourier self-deconvolution using OMNIC software (Themofisher, USA).

Characterization of Bioinspired Functional Polymers

The reactions of ROP and photopolymerization were monitored based on the transformation of functional groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, and alkene by FT-IR. The spectra of samples were obtained in the region of 4000–500 cm−1 using a Spectrum Two spectrometer (PerkinElmer). An air background spectrum was collected before the analysis of the sample and subtracted from each sample spectrum.
The Young’s moduli of the BFP samples were measured using the CellScale UniVert mechanical tester (CellScale, Waterloo, Canada) via compression testing at a strain rate of 6.7 × 10−3 s−1 (n = 3 per BFP formulation). Young’s modulus was calculated from the linear strain region (5–10%). The data are reported as mean ± standard deviation. Optical transmissions of the thin BFP films were measured from 300 to 1000 nm using a UV–vis spectrophotometer (Infinite 200 PRO, Tecan, Man̈nedorf, Schweiz). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was carried out using DSC Q20 (TA Instrument) over a temperature range from 0 to 180 °C, increasing 10 °C/min under nitrogen. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed using Pyris 1 TGA (PerkinElmer) from 20 to 200 °C, increasing 10 °C/min under nitrogen. High-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were obtained using Zeiss Sigma 500. The surface of the structure was coated with iridium by an Emitech K575X sputter coater prior to imaging.

1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectra of polymers in CDCl3 were recorded on a Varian 600 MHz spectrometer with TMS as an internal standard. Infrared (FT-IR) spectra were recorded by means of a PerkinElmer Spectrum Two Spectrometer. Molecular weights of polyanhydrides were determined in methylene chloride by gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) using Agilent Technologies Infinity 1260 chromatograph equipped with a refractive index detector and calibrated with polystyrene standards. Molecular weights were also calculated from 1 H NMR spectra. Thermal analyses were performed using an 822 e DSC Mettler Toledo differential scanning calorimeter. Samples were tested in temperature range from -60 °C to 250 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C/min.

Tetracycline Hydrochloride Release Kinetics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The TCH release behaviors were studied in 0.1 M phosphate buffer saline (PBS) buffers with pH 7.4. The sponges were cut into round pieces with the diameter of 10 mm. The tested samples were fully immersed in a beaker containing 50 mL PBS at 37 °C and placed in a dark place. At specific time points, an aliquot of 3.5 mL was collected from each solution and the absorbance was then measured at 356 nm on a Spectrum Two Spectrometer (Perkin Elmer, Akron, OH, USA). An equivalent volume of fresh PBS buffer was replaced into the system after each sampling to maintain constant medium volume. Thus, the concentrations of released TCH obtained at different times can be calculated. As a result, the cumulative released TCH amounts can be calculated accordingly. The experiments were performed in triplicate.

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.
