The light transmittance of CG and CGZP films in the range of 200–800 nm were recorded via UV 1900 UV-vis spectrophotometer (Shimadzu Corp., Tokyo, Japan). Before the test, the film samples were cut into 10 mm × 40 mm strips. Films with a greater opacity value are less transparent. The opacity values of the films were calculated by Equation (4) [35 (link)].

where T600 is the transmittance at 600 nm, and x is the thickness (mm) of the films which were measured using an electronic outside micrometer.

The antioxidant activity of the extracts was assessed using the 2,2–Diphenyl–1–Picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. In total, 100 μL of the extract was added to 3 mL of a DPPH ethanolic solution (0.03% w/v). The absorbance of the mixture was measured at 515 nm after its incubation for 20 min at room temperature. The calculated IC50 values refer to the sample concentration that is required to scavenge 50% of DPPH free radicals [63 (link)].
The spectrophotometric measurements were conducted In a SHIMADZU UV–1900, UV–VIS spectrophotometer. All measurements described above were conducted in triplicate, and the reported values of total carotenoids, total phenolics, and IC50 are the calculated average values.

Comprehensive Wine Analysis Protocol

General parameters of wines (i.e., alcohol content, titratable acidity and pH) were analyzed according to the analytical methods recommended by the International Organization of Vine and Wine [51 ]. A METTLER TOLEDO Seven Compact pH/ion meter (Mettler Toledo, Columbus, OH, USA) was used for pH measurements. The spectrophotometric measurements (i.e., color intensity, CIELab coordinates, and phenolic index (I280)) of the wines were analyzed as previously reported [19 (link)] by using a SHIMADZU UV-1900 UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Shimadzu Latin America S.A., Montevideo, Uruguay). Turbidity measurements were performed by using a HANNA HI 88731-ISO turbidimeter (HANNA Instruments Chile, Santiago, Chile), and conductivity measurements were performed by using a HANNA HI 5321 conductometer (HANNA Instruments Chile, Santiago, Chile). The mini-contact test [52 ] was used to check the tartrate potential instability of wines.

Photophysical Characterization of Ru(II) Complexes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Shimadzu UV-1900 UV-VIS Spectrophotometer was used for the collection of the steady state absorption spectra and Shimadzu 6000 Spectrofluorophotometer was used for luminescence emission spectra measurements in aqueous medium. LP980 Edinburgh Instruments laser flash photolysis system was used for the collection of the transient absorption spectra, and in the emission mode for the collection of the luminescence decay of the excited states. Singlet oxygen decay at 1270 nm was collected using Hamamatsu H10330-45 NIR detector as previously described.50 The excitation source is Q-smart (450 mJ) Nd:YAG Quantel Lasers at 355 nm.
Luminescence decay traces in the visible and infrared regions were found to follow a mono-exponential function. Singlet oxygen quantum yield, ΦΔ, was obtained by comparing the luminescence intensity of singlet oxygen at 1270 nm photosensitized by the current set of complexes with that obtained from the reference [Ru(bpy)3]2+37 (link) at zero time in air equilibrated D2O solution. Luminescence decay traces of ruthenium(ii) complexes at different oxygen concentrations were collected by purging the D2O solution for 20 minutes with argon and oxygen and in air equilibrated solutions.73

The antimicrobial susceptibility of E. coli TOP10 strains containing plasmids pTOPO-KPC-2, pTOPO-KPC-41, and pTOPO-KPC-93, respectively, was determined by the broth microdilution method. Steady-state kinetic parameters of carbapenemase KPC-93 were measured in 100 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.0). The initial velocity of hydrolysis was determined using a UV-1900 UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Japan). The hydrolysis rate of nitrocefin was determined using a wavelength of 482 nm and an absorption coefficient (Δε) of 15,000 (M−1 · cm−1).

UV Spectroscopy of Lignin Solutions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
UV spectrophotometry
was conducted on a Shimadzu UV-1900 UV–vis spectrophotometer.
Spectra were recorded from 500 to 250 nm (or 200 nm) at 1.0 nm intervals
and medium speed. The reference cell was occupied by the same blank
solvent used for dilution, which was also used for recording the background
spectrum. These background spectra were double checked with a new
cuvette of blank solvent, where a measurement was only started if
the baseline-deviation was below 0.005 cm–1. Stock
solutions of 0.2–0.5 mg/mL lignin in blank solvent were made.
Stock solutions of lignin were always freshly prepared and measured
within 24 h of preparation. Furthermore, 200–600 μL of
stock solution were pipetted into the quartz cuvette and diluted with
1600–2700 μL of blank solvent. The actual volumes were
adjusted to yield an absorbance of 0.3–1.0 cm–1 at 280 nm for each measurement. Samples were run in duplicates with
at least two dilutions, yielding at least four measurement points
per sample. All concentrations were calculated with respect to the
dry ash-free sample. The absorptivity is hence given as the absorbance
divided by the dry ash-free concentration of lignin in solution.

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.
