NMR Analysis of Cross-Linked Specimens

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
1H NMR experiments were carried out on 400-MHz NMR (JEOL; Peabody, MA), with 3-(trimethylsilyl)-propionic-2,2,3,3-d4-acid used as the internal standard. Cross-linked specimens were washed with deionized (DI) water and incubated in collagenase solution (1 mL, 20 U/mL) in CaCl2 (0.36 mM) buffer at pH = 7.4 to digest the polymeric network. Afterward, the solutions were freeze-dried, and like non-cross-linked samples, they were dissolved in D2O at 40 °C, before the 1H NMR spectra were obtained.

Characterization of GELGYM Hydrogels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All 1H-NMR experiments were performed on 400-MHz NMR (JEOL; Peabody, MA) and chemical shifts reported relative to 3-(trimethylsilyl)-propionic-2,2,3,3-d4-acid as the internal standard. A small amount of GELGYM (10 mg) mixed with D2O (0.5 mL) in an NMR tube was heated for 30 min at 40 °C to fully dissolve the precursor and the spectra were recorded while the sample was maintained at 30 °C. For crosslinked samples, the prepolymer solution (80 μL) was transferred to a cylindrical mold (0.6 mm diameter, and 0.2 mm depth), crosslinked, and washed with water. Afterward, the samples were incubated in collagenase solution (2 mL, 10 U/ml), containing Tris-HCl buffer (0.1 M) with a pH of 7.4 supplemented with CaCl2 (5 mM) at 37 °C to digest the hydrogel and form a homogenous solution. Then, the solutions were freeze-dried to eliminate the water and similar to non-crosslinked samples were dissolved in D2O at 30 °C and their 1H-NMR spectra were acquired.

Synthesis and Characterization of G-GMA Macromer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To synthesize G-GMA, 10.0 g of gelatin from porcine skin (~300 g of Bloom, type A) was dissolved in 100 mL of PBS, followed by the addition of 10 mL of glycidyl methacrylate. The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 h at 45 °C, then diluted with 100 mL distilled water, and dialyzed for 7 days by using a dialysis membrane (molecular weight cutoff of 14 kDa; Sigma-Aldrich) to eliminate the unreacted reagents and smaller molecular weight by products. Afterward, the solution was freeze-dried for 4 days to afford a foam-like G-GMA macromer. To chemically characterize the macromer, we performed 1H NMR (400 MHz NMR; JEOL; Peabody, MA, with 3-(trimethylsilyl)propionic2,2,3,3-d4 acid used as the internal standard) and FT-IR (Nicolet iS50 FTIR spectrometer; Thermo Scientific, Cambridge, MA) (Figures S1 and S2)

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.
