Agilent nmr spectrometer

Manufactured by Agilent Technologies
Sourced in United States

The Agilent NMR spectrometer is a laboratory instrument used for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It measures the absorption and emission of radio frequency radiation by the nuclei of atoms in a sample subjected to a strong magnetic field. The Agilent NMR spectrometer is designed to provide high-resolution data about the molecular structure and chemical environment of the analyzed sample.

Characterizing Polymer-Chelator Interactions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
1H NMR spectra are recorded at 25 °C with Varian Agilent NMR spectrometer operating at 600 MHz to observe chemical interactions between polymer and chelating agent (DTPA). The NMR samples consisted of water solution of HA-DTPA at different molar ratios (HA/DTPA ranging from 0 to 0.5), with 10% v/v D2O.
Diffusion-ordered NMR Spectroscopy (DOSY) is also performed and the z-gradient strengths (Gz) is varied in 20 steps from 500 to 32500 G/cm (maximum strength). The gradient pulse duration (δ) and the diffusion delay (Δ) are kept constant, 2 ms for δ and ranging from 7 to 1000 ms for Δ. After Fourier transformation and baseline correction, DOSY spectra are processed and analysed using Varian software VNMRJ (Varian by Agilent Technologies, Italy) in order to obtain the values of water self-diffusion coefficient.

Serum samples were measured using a 600.170 MHz Agilent NMR spectrometer (Agilent technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). One-dimensional (1D) 1H-NMR was performed using PRESAT pulse sequence for the suppression of the water signal. Water presaturation was applied during a 2 s relaxation delay, the acquisition time was 1.703 s, and a total of 128 transients were collected for each sample. Two-dimensional (2D) 1H-1H correlation spectroscopy (COSY) and 1H-13C heteronuclear single quantum coherence spectroscopy (HSQC) were also performed to clarify the identification of overlapping metabolites. All NMR data were manually phased and the baselines corrected. Metabolites were assigned and quantified using Chenomx NMR Suite 8.4 Professional (Chenomx Inc., Edmonton, AB, Canada) with the metabolite library database and 2D data. For the quantification of metabolites, the peak of TSP at 0.00 ppm was referred. Each metabolite was manually fitting in Chenomx Profiler, and each concentration was calculated from the concentration of TSP.

The analysis of metabolites was performed using the protocol as described in our previous study [20 (link)] with suitable modification. Approximately 20 mg of each sample was weighted and extracted with acetonitrile/water (1:1, v/v) mixture on ice for 10 min. The samples were centrifuged at 3,000×g for 10 min at 4°C, and the supernatant was collected and freeze-dried. The lyophilized samples were dissolved in 700 μL of deuterated water containing 2 mM 3-trimethylsilyl-2,2,3,3-tetradeuteropropionicacid-d4 (TSP-d4; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) as an internal reference, and then was transferred into a 5 mm NMR tube for analysis. 1H-NMR spectra were acquired on a 600 MHz Agilent NMR spectrometer (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA) equipped with 600 MHz 4-mm gHX NanoProbe (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) at a 1H frequency of 599.93 MHz. The 1H-NMR conditions set were the same as those described in our previous study [20 (link)]. The acquired spectra were phased and then the baseline was corrected and referenced to the TSP-d4 peak using a Vnmrj (version 4.2, Agilent Technologies, USA). Metabolites in the 1H-NMR spectra were tentatively identified using Chenomx 600 MHz library database and Chenomx NMR Suite 7.1 professional (Chenomx Inc., Edmonton, Canada). The identified metabolites were expressed as percentage of the normalized area.

saliva samples. The1H-NMR spectra were measured with an acquisition
time of 1.704 s, 1 s of relaxation delay, and 10 min and 20 s of total
acquisition time. Chenomx NMR suite 7.1 (Chenoms, Edmonton, AB, Canada) software
was used for the assignment of spectra and quantification of metabolites. The
TSP-d4 peak (0.0 ppm) was used for calibrating the chemical
shifts as a reference.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PVA was characterised prior to use by means of gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. GPC was performed at the Department of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Graz; NMR spectra were recorded with a 400 MHz Agilent NMR spectrometer (Santa Clara, United States). A polydispersity index of 1.32 and a Mw of 130,000 g/mol were determined, and the specified degree of saponification (>99 mol %) was confirmed.
The aqueous PVA solution with a solid content of 5 wt % was obtained by addition of PVA to deionised water under stirring. After 10 min, the slurry was heated to a temperature of 85 °C for at least 60 min to obtain a homogeneous solution.
The respective azosulphonate-doped PVAs (PAII and PAIII) were prepared as follow: The appropriate amount of the azosulphonate salt (Table 1) was dissolved in the 5 wt % aqueous PVA solution at a pH value of 3 adjusted with hydrochloric acid. For a better distribution of the azosulphonates, the samples were treated by sonication and stirred at 60 °C. The solutions were stored at room temperature in brown glass vials to prevent light-induced decomposition of the PVA-AZO compounds.

For in vitro 19F-MRS experiments, MSC and MSC/CD cells (1 x 105) were grown in 6 well plates. Cells were then incubated in growth medium containing 100 μM of 5-FC (Kolon Life Science, Gyeonggi, Korea). After 24 hours, conditioned media were collected and analyzed using 9T (375.567 MHz) Agilent NMR spectrometer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Chemical phantom samples were constructed by diluting 5-FC (Kolon Life Science, Gyeonggi, Korea) and 5-FU (Sigma-Aldrich, MI, USA) to 200 uM each in 5ml of DMEM with 10% FBS. Spectra were acquired with a single pulse sequence whole region excitation with 11 min scan time (average 512). The ratio of peak intensities was measured using VnmrJ 3.2 version software program (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA).
For in vivo 19F-MRS experiments, MSC/CD cells (1x106) were subcutaneously injected into the right flank of mice. Serial 19F-NMR spectra were acquired every 8.5 min during 0 to 1.5 h (total repetition time, 500 ms; the number of averages, 1024; spectral width, 25 kHz; acquisition size, 2048 points) after administration of 5-FC (500 mg/kg, intraperitoneally).

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.
