Mixed cellulose ester membrane filter

Manufactured by Cytiva
Sourced in United Kingdom, Germany

Mixed cellulose ester membrane filters are a type of laboratory filtration equipment used to separate and isolate particles, cells, or other materials from liquid samples. These filters are made from a combination of cellulose esters and provide a consistent and reliable filtration performance.

SPE-Based Sample Pretreatment for Analyses

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An SPE step was applied prior to analysis to pre-concentrate the sample. All samples were filtered through 0.45 μm mixed cellulose ester membrane filter (Whatman, Dassel, Germany). SPE was performed using Oasis HLB cartridges (60 mg). The cartridges were conditioned by washing and rinsing with 6 mL MeOH and 6 mL Milli-Q water.
The water samples (IWW was four times diluted with MilliQ water, i.e. 25 mL sample in 100 mL; EWW and SW was 100 mL, no dilution) were loaded onto the cartridges, percolated by gravity (flow rate around 3 mL/min) and vacuum dried for approximately 15 min. Analytes were eluted with 5 mL MeOH. The extracts were evaporated to dryness at 35°C under a gentle stream of nitrogen and reconstructed in 1 mL of 10:90 MeOH:H 2 O. Analyses were performed by injecting 20 μL of the final extract into the

Wastewater Solid Phase Extraction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wastewater samples were vacuum-filtered through a glass microfiber filter 1.6 µm GF/A (Whatman, Kent, U.K.) and a 0.45 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane filter (Whatman, Kent, U.K.) before extraction, according to the procedures of each laboratory. SW was not filtered. The method is described in detail elsewhere (Bade et al., 2015c) . Briefly, solid phase extraction (SPE), using OASIS HLB 3 cc/60 mg cartridges (Waters Corp., Milford, MA, USA), was applied to all water samples in order to extract the analytes. Cartridges were conditioned with 6 mL of MeOH and equilibrated with 6 mL of Milli-Q water. Then 100 mL of the samples (IWW was diluted four times with Milli-Q water, i.e. 25 mL sample in 100 mL) were passed through the cartridges by gravity and vacuum-dried for approximately 15 min. The analytes were eluted with 6 mL of MeOH and the extracts were evaporated to dryness at 35°C under a gentle nitrogen stream and finally reconstituted in 1 mL of 10 % MeOH aqueous solution.

Trisodium citrate dihydrate, tetrachloroauric(III) acid, sodium hydroxide solutions (10 M in water), and biotin were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Italy). biotinylated and unbiotinylated 11-mer oligo deoxyribonucleotide (biotinDNA, 5’-AGCAGCCTAAG-3’-biotin, and DNA, 5’-AGCAGCCTAAG-3’, respectively. Tm = 34.0 °C), successfully employed in previous studies for the detection of non-amplified human genomic DNA [13 (link)], were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. Streptavidin from Streptomyces avidinii, provided in lyophilized form in 10 mM PBS, pH 7.4, was purchased from Invitrogen (Italy). Mixed cellulose ester membrane filters were purchased from Whatman (UK). Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solutions at pH 7.4 (137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, phosphate buffered 10 mM) were obtained from Amresco (Italy). Ultra-pure water (Milli-Q Element, Millipore) was used for all the experiments.

Phosphate Uptake Assay in Salmonella

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wild-type (14028s) or mgtC (EL4) Salmonella were grown in MOPS medium containing 10 μM MgCl2 and 500 μM K2HPO4 during 3 h. Wild-type (14028s) or ∆3Pi (RB39) cells harboring either pVector or pMgtC were grown in MOPS containing 250 μM MgCl2 and 500 μM K2HPO4 until OD600 ∼0.2, at which point, MgtC expression was induced for 15 min with the addition of 750 μM IPTG. To assay the transport of Pi, 20 μCi of radioactive Pi solution (10 μL from a 2 mCi K2H32PO4 at a concentration of 2 mM K2H32PO4, PerkinElmer catalog number NEX055) was added to 1 mL cell suspension. At the indicated time points, 50 μL of each sample was submitted to rapid filtration through 0.45 μm mixed cellulose ester membrane filters (Whatman) with an applied vacuum. The filters were washed three times with 1 mL PBS buffer and subsequently soaked in 5 mL scintillation fluid (Research Products International). The amount of radioactivity taken up by the cells was determined with a scintillation counter (Triathler multilabel tester, HIDEX) using the 32P-window and by counting each vial for 20 s. Radioactive counts per minute were normalized by protein content using a Rapid Gold BCA Protein Assay Kit (Pierce). 32Pi uptake of each sample was normalized against the corresponding control in each independent experiment.

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.
