Calcium chloride (CaCl 2 , 93%, Alfa Aesar), sodium carbonate monohydrate (Na 2 CO 3 • H 2 O, ≥ 99.5%, Sigma-Aldrich), sodium hexametaphosphate ((NaPO 3 ) 6 , Alfa Aesar), tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS, 98.0%, Aldrich), ethanol (EtOH, ≥ 99.8%, Sigma-Aldrich), ammonium hydroxide (NH 4 OH, 30.0%, Carlo Erba), hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB, >98.0%, Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), hydrochloric acid (HCl, 36% w/w, Alfa Aesar), sodium hydroxide (NaOH, 97%, Thermo Scientific), potassium hydrogen phosphate (K 2 HPO 4 , 98%, Alfa Aesar) and potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH 2 PO 4 , 98%, Alfa Aesar) were used without additional purification.
An ultrasonic cup horn (19.5 kHz, Danacamerini prototype) was used to prepare nano-CaCO 3 and HMSNs, as shown in Fig. 1. The ultrasonic generator was used to regulate ultrasonic power, which can be adjusted up to 300 W (electric input power). The ultrasonic transducers consist of high-efficiency pre-stressed piezoelectric (PZT) rings (planar PZT Morgan Electronics, diameter 50 mm) compressed between two erga discs. The maximum capacity of the cup horn is 80 mL, which is cooled with cooling water [38] . The ultrasonic powers delivered were determined calorimetrically with water as heating media and all ultrasonic power mentioned below refers to the power measured calorimetrically [39] .

Morphine, methadone, codeine, 6-MAM, EDDP standards, and Morphine-d3 and methadone-d3 internal standards (IS) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Milan, Italy). For the extraction procedure, distilled water (H2O) for analysis, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), methanol (MeOH) for analysis (≥99.9%), hydrochloric acid for analysis (37%), dichloromethane for analysis stabilized with amylin (≥99.9%), 2-propanol (99.8%) and ammonium hydroxide (32%) of reagent grade were purchased from Carlo Erba (Cornaredo, Italy). For the UHPLC analysis, methanol for UHPLC-MS (99.99%), ultrapure water for UHPLC-MS and formic acid (FA) for LC-MS (≥99%) were purchased from Carlo Erba (Cornaredo, Italy). All reagents and laboratory consumables were stored according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Synthesis of Distinct ZnO Morphologies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The synthesis of both ZnO forms was performed starting from the same amount of Zn precursor, namely, zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2•6H2O; ≥99.0%; purchased from Merck) dissolved in water to reach the solution molarity of 0.05 M. Subsequently, the proper amount of ammonium hydroxide (28%; Carlo Erba Reagents, Italy) was added under continuous stirring for adjusting the solution pH to 10. In the case of flower-like powder, the hydrolysis temperature was 60 °C, and the solution temperature was kept constant for one hour. Needle-like powder was obtained by performing hydrolysis at room temperature and treating the mixture at 95 °C for about 7 h. The ZnO precipitates were filtered, washed several times with deionized water and then with diethyl ether (Merck), and dried in an oven overnight. Figure 1 reports a schematic representation of the synthesis of the two different ZnO morphologies.

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.
