MIL-101(Cr) NPs were crystallized
following a hydrothermal synthesis procedure:24 (link) 0.70 g of CrCl3·6H2O (≤ 98%, Sigma
Aldrich) and 0.45 g of terephthalic acid (98%, Sigma Aldrich) in 26
mL of deionized water. The obtained solution was heated at 180 °C
for 30 min in a microwave (Anton Paar, Multiwave 3000). The synthesized
nanocrystals were activated as follows: first, they were washed and
centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 15 min with deionized water. Second,
the MOF NPs were treated with DMF (99.5%, Scharlau) at 200 °C
for 24 h. Finally, they were washed overnight with methanol (99.9%,
Scharlau) at 70 °C with two stages of washing and centrifugation
at 10,000 rpm for 15 min with methanol.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Photophysical properties of the NIR absorbing dyes were measured in either spectroscopic grade toluene [56] , [88] , [89] (link) (Scharlab, Spain) or in Milli-Q water (Merck Millipore, MA, USA). In order to solubilize the highly nonpolar Ncs in a water-based solution to mimic the in vivo environment, the Cremophor-EL (BASF, Germany) solution used by Bézière and Ntziachristos [71] (link) was employed. The final solution had a solvent composition of 2.5% toluene, 10% Cremophor, 1% 1,2-propanediol (Sigma–Aldrich), 1% N,N-dimethylformamide (Scharlab) and 85.5% PBS (Sigma–Aldrich, pH 7.4). The Nc was dissolved to 200 μM in toluene. The 2-propanediol and N,N-dimethylformamide were added and mixed by sonication for 5 min. Cremophor-EL was added and mixed by pipetting and 30 min of sonication. PBS was added and the mixture was sonicated for a further 30 min. All solutions were prepared at a final dye concentration of 5 μM. These solutions were used for the spectroscopy in this study.

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.
