Methacrylated alginate (AMA) was synthesized as previously described.24 (link), 56 (link) Briefly, a 2% (w/v) solution of Manugel® GMB (MW≈ 170–240 kDa, FMC Biopolymer) in deionized (DI) water was mixed with a 20-fold molar excess of methacrylic anhydride (Sigma-Aldrich). The solution was maintained at pH 8 using 5 N sodium hydroxide (Fisher) for 24 hours. Purification was performed via dialysis (MWCO=6–8 kDa) against DI water for 5-days, and lyophilized to yield a dry product. A 1% (w/v) AMA was prepared in deuterium oxide (D2O, Acros Organics) and subsequently analyzed using 1H-NMR spectroscopy (Bruker AVANCE III 500 MHz high-field NMR spectrometer), for 64 scans at 20 Hz. The degree of methacrylation (DOM) was established through integration of the peaks associated with methacrylate (6.24, 5.78 ppm) and alginate methyl resonances (1.96 ppm), and calculation of the ratios between.29 (link), 56 (link), 58

NMR Sample Preparation for Metabolomics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In this study, 5% Tween 20 (Systerm, Selangor, Malaysia) was used as an emulsifier and Formalin (Systerm, Selangor, Malaysia) for preserving tissue samples. The extraction process utilized 95% ethanol (Systerm, Selangor, Malaysia) diluted into 80%. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4) (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), deuterium oxide (D2O) (Cambridge, MA, USA), and trimethylsilylpropanoic acid (TSP) (Acros Organic, Geel, Belgium) were solutions and reagents used in preparing the samples for proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) (JEOL, Tokyo, Japan) analysis. D2O is a solvent used in 1H NMR sample to disperse the molecules, so they do not interact with one another. This is because the protons of -OH and -NH molecules can easily exchange with water or acid. D2O is stable since its nucleus contains one neutron and one proton (2H or D). D2O molecules will rapidly exchange with -OH and -NH molecules and make the compound stable and stabilize the magnetic field strength [12 (link)]. KH2PO4 acts as a buffer to maintain the pH at a constant value of 7.4 [12 (link)]. TSP acts as a standard internal reference that worked to improve the quality of the data by calibrating the solutions using the ratio between analytes and TSP [13 ].

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.
