Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR, Digilab FTS 7000) equipped with diamond Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) crystal was used to investigate the chemical properties of pristine and purified MWCNTs. Scans ranging from 1000 to 4000 cm−1 were collected.
Morphology and elemental quantitative analyses of pristine and purified MWCNTs (1 mg/mL sample on silica wafer) were performed on a Hitachi S-4700 Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation) containing a S-4700 detector combining secondary (SE) and backscattered (BSE) electron detection and operating at 20 KV. For Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX) results are shown as weight percent of a given element relative to the most dominant element present in the sample.
The average length distribution of the pristine and purified MWCNTs was evaluated using tapping mode Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) performed in air (Asylum Research, AC240TS, 50 to 90 kHz). At least 3 scans of 10 μm × 10 μm were acquired for each of the sample being analyzed and a minimum of 30 individual MWCNTs were measured to obtain an average length distribution.

Surface morphology and elemental composition of MIL-160 and ZIF-8 were investigated using Hitachi S-4700 Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. For these analyses, dry powders of the samples were mounted onto carbon tape and investigated using an accelerating voltage of 5.0 kV.
Crystalline phases of the synthesized MIL-160 and ZIF-8 MOFs were confirmed by powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis with experiments performed at room temperature under ambient conditions on PANalytical X’Pert Pro X-ray Diffractometer with CuKa radiation at 40 kV and 40 mA, respectively.

EDX-S was used to perform elemental analysis of SWCNT samples. Data were collected on a LEO 1530 VP scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray analyzer (Hitachi S-4700 Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope, Hitachi High Technologies Co., Tokyo, Japan). A few drops of SWCNT dispersion in cell culture medium were placed on a silicon wafer and allowed to air-dry. The silicon wafer was then mounted on an aluminum stub for EDX-S analysis.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed on 1 month old control (Pax6GFPCre:Caprin2+/cKO) and Caprin2 cKO/cKO mutant lenses as previously described (Scheiblin et al., 2014 (link)). Briefly, whole eyes were dissected without delay from control and mutant mice after euthanization and treated with a fixative containing 0.08M sodium cacodylate pH 7.4, 1.25% glutaraldehyde, 1% paraformaldehyde (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, PA) for 3 hours. The lens were dissected from the eye and transferred to fresh cold fixative for 48 hours. The lenses were washed and the lens capsule along with a few layers of fiber cells were removed from one hemisphere of the lens in order to view the fiber cell ultrastructure. The peeled lenses were then dehydrated through an alcohol dilution series and hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS, Sigma, St. Louis, MO) dilution series (diluted in ethanol). Lenses were then subjected to sputter coating with gold/palladium for 2.5 min before imaging with Hitachi S-4700 Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (Tokyo, Japan). The analysis was performed on eight biological replicates for both control and mutants.

B. burgdorferi cultures were collected by centrifugation at 10,000 × g for 10 min at 4°C, the cell pellet resuspended in fixative (20 mM sodium cacodylate, pH 6 with 2.5% v/v glutaraldehyde) and cells were fixed overnight at 4°C. Cells were then centrifuged again, washed once in ddH2O and fixed in 2% osmium tetroxide for 2 h at 4°C. Cell pellets were washed twice in ddH2O, resuspended in ddH2O and the cells were loaded onto a 0.6 μm filter using a 1-ml syringe. Cells were gently dehydrated for 10 min each in a graded ethanol series; 35%, 50%, 70%, 90%, 95%, and twice in 100% EtOH using a 1-ml syringe. The filter was removed after the final 100% EtOH wash and placed in 100% hexamethyldisilazane for 30 min. The filter was air dried and placed on an adhesive carbon tab on a 13 mm aluminum stub. Filters with bacteria were coated with gold and palladium in a Pelco Model 3 sputter coater for 30 sec. After coating, samples were imaged in a Hitachi S-4700 Field Emission scanning electron microscope.

QT conjugated Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared based on the existing literature with some modifications.[33 (link)] First, dextran-coated Fe3O4 NPs were synthesized through a chemical coprecipitation method. Briefly, a mixture including of FeCl3 anhydrous, FeCl2, and dextran dissolved in deionized (DI) water was put into a three-neck flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer. After the mixture was stirred and mixed completely, ammonia solution was dropped into the mixture with vigorous stirring under argon protection, until the pH of the solution reached 9. This solution was kept at 90°C for 2 h with constant stirring, and then the resultant precipitate was collected with the help of a strong external magnet. The supernatant was washed several times with DI water and ethanol and dried in oven at 70°C overnight.
QT conjugated magnetite NPs (QT-SPION) were prepared by addition of QT to dextran-coated Fe3O4 NPs. The FT-IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were recorded. The morphological features were obtained on a Hitachi S–4700 field emission-scanning electron microscope, equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray analysis detector.

Worms were critically point-dried and sputter-coated with gold. A HITACHI S-4700 field emission scanning electron microscope (Hitachi Ltd, Tokyo, Japan) was used to visualize the worms.

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.
