Synthesis of Citrate-Reduced Gold Nanoparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As previously described [18 (link)], nanoparticles were synthesized using the method in which gold chloroauric acid is reduced by trisodium citrate [25 ]. In this process, 2.2–2.4 mL 1% weight/volume (wt/v) sodium citrate (Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and 200 mL 0.01% wt/v HAuCl4 (Alfa Aesar, Ward Hill, MA, USA) are mixed and heated to boiling, which promotes the reaction of sodium citrate to citric acid. Temperature and final concentration of the gold salt allows particles of varying sizes. Once the reaction is completed, the solution is concentrated using a rotovapor (Buchi Rotovapor System, BÜCHI Labortechnik AG, Flawil, Switzerland) to ~20 mL before the addition of layering to the particles.

In Vitro Degradation of TaOx Phantoms

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An in vitro degradation study was performed to assess the effects of the TaOx incorporation on device properties. Three buffers were used, to simulate a range of physiological conditions: pH 7.4 phosphate buffered saline (PBS, Thermo Fisher Sci), pH 6.5 0.05 M sodium citrate (Thermo Fisher Sci), and pH 5.5 0.05 M sodium citrate (Thermo Fisher Sci). Dry phantoms were placed into individual, pre-weighed, microcentrifuge tubes. Phantoms were hydrated on day 0, by adding 1 ml buffer and centrifuging for 10 min at 11,000 rpm. Afterwards immersed phantoms were stored at 37°C, and the buffer was changed weekly. Phantoms with 0, 20 and 40wt% TaOx were tested for mechanics and mass loss (n=4 per time point). A further cohort of phantoms (n=3) containing 5, 20 and 40wt% TaOx were serially imaged via μCT, to follow the degradation process and assess radiopacity over time.

Inducing Diabetes in C57BL/6J Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C57BL/6J wild-type and CIN85Δex2 mice (gift from I.D.) were intraperitoneally injected with 50 mg/kg streptozocin (STZ) (Sigma-Aldrich) diluted in 50 mmol/L sodium citrate (Fisher Scientific) buffer (pH 4.5) or with sodium citrate buffer for 5 consecutive days. Glucose levels from tail blood were measured with Glucometer Elite (Bayer, Leverkusen, Germany) every other day. The glucose levels were monitored 4 weeks after injection and then every week until the animals were hyperglycemic for 16 weeks. Animals with glucose levels exceeding 16 mmol/L on two consecutive measurements were regarded as hyperglycemic. The mice were not supplied with insulin during the 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.
