Ultrapure water

Manufactured by Avantor
Sourced in United States

Ultrapure water is a highly purified form of water used in various laboratory applications. It is produced through a multi-stage purification process, typically involving deionization, reverse osmosis, and other techniques to remove impurities and contaminants. Ultrapure water is characterized by its extremely low levels of dissolved ions, organic matter, and microorganisms, making it suitable for use in sensitive analytical procedures, reagent preparation, and other critical laboratory workflows.

Surface Characterization of Fluoride-Modified Titanium

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The structure of the control and fluoride-modified titanium disks and implant surface was characterized using a field emission scanning electron microscope (Hitachi S-4800 FE-SEM; Hitachi Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). The surface roughness of titanium samples was measured using an atomic force microscope (Nanoscope MultiMode & Explore SPM; Vecco Instrument, Plainview, NY, USA). Measurements by atomic force microscopy (AFM) were conducted in ambient air under tapping mode at a scan rate of 0.8413 Hz and scan size of 0.25×0.25 μm. Different areas of the surface for the control group and fluoride-modified groups were measured for statistical analysis.
The static contact angle was calculated using the sessile drop method with a video-based contact angle system (DSA30; Krüss, Hamburg, Germany) according to Young–Laplace fitting at room temperature. Contact angle measurements were performed for four different titanium disk surfaces from each group using ultrapure water (VWR, Radnor, PA, USA) as a wetting agent. The chemical composition of these titanium sample surfaces was analyzed by energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) with scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

E. coli DNA Extraction and Purification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Each E. coli isolate was submitted to an overnight incubation at 37 °C in Brain Heart Infusion Agar. Then, approximately 10 µL of the bacterial cultures formed by the isolates under testing, and by both E. coli J96 and E. coli KS52 reference strains, were collected using a loop, and resuspended in 100 μL of tris-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid buffer (VWR, Philadelphia, PA, USA) supplemented with 0.1% Tween 20 (Fisher Bioreagents, Pittsburgh, MA, USA). As described by Dashti’s team [33 ], bacterial suspensions were then incubated at 100 °C for 10 min, after which they were centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for another 10 min. The resulting supernatant was collected, and the DNA concentration and purity were assessed using a NanoDrop™ Spectrophotometer (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). DNA purity was determined based on the 280/260 absorbance ratio, which should be of approximately 1.8 for the DNA suspension to be considered pure. Subsequently, all DNA suspensions were diluted in sterile and ultrapure water (VWR, Philadelphia, PA, USA) until they reached a standardized concentration of 50 ng/μL and were subsequently kept at −20 °C until further use.

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.
