Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To pre-permeabilize the tissue, the slides were mounted in a plastic cassette and sections incubated in pre-permeabilization solution (24 (link)) (48 μl Exonuclease I buffer, NEB, cat no. B0293S; 4.5 μl of BSA, Sigma-Aldrich, cat no. A7039-100G; and 2% (w/v) PVP40, Sigma-Aldrich, cat no. PVP40-1KG) at 37°C for 30 min. This was followed with a wash with 0.1 × SSC buffer (Sigma-Aldrich, cat no. S6639L). The sections were permeabilized with Permeabilization mix™ (10x Genomics) at 37°C for different times (1, 3, 6, 15, 30 min TO slides) or for 3 min (GE slides). Then, wells were washed with 0.1× SSC buffer. After permeabilization, Reverse transcription mixture™ (10x Genomics) was added to each section and incubated at 56°C for 45 min as described in the 10x Genomics User guide (PN-1000186, CG000239_VisiumSpatialGeneExpression_UserGuide_RevD).

Rapid Lateral Flow Immunoassay for SEB

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In brief, RP membrane (Millipore) was striped using a noncontact BioJet HR value with a high-resolution syringe pump attached to an XYZ3050 platform (BioDot, CA) with the 3D6 capture mAb as a test line (T) and a donkey-anti-mouse IgG used for the control line (C). The RP membranes were water washed, then blocked in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP40; Sigma) and dried. The 4C9 mAb was conjugated to 40 nm gold (InnovaCoat Gold; Innova Biosciences) and 10 OD sprayed onto a 10 mm glass fiber conjugate pad (Millipore) using a noncontact AirJet HR aerosol dispenser (BioDot) attached to the XYZ platform. Dried membranes were adhered to 60 mm plastic backing card with 25 mm Fusion-5 membrane (GE Healthcare) as a sample pad and 22 mm CF6 membrane (Millipore) as an absorbent sink. The test strips were cut (60 × 4.5 mm) and housed in a two-part plastic cassette with a pressure point at material overlap. Dilutions of SEB were added to the sample pad (100 μL) and resolved for 10 minutes and then photographed.

Listeria monocytogenes Infection Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All L. monocytogenes strains used were on the 10403s parental background. L. monocytogenes were grown in brain heart infusion (BHI) media. For infection experiments, cultures were grown statically in BHI overnight at 30°C to reach stationary phase. Bacteria were sub-cultured for ~1.5 hours in fresh BHI (4:1, BHI:culture) to achieve growth to mid-logarithmic phase (OD600 ≈ 0.5). Bacteria were washed three times in PBS, and resuspended to desired concentrations in PBS containing 10% glycerol and 2% PVP-40 (polyvinylpyrrolidine, Sigma Aldrich), to avoid bacterial clumping, and 0.3% phenol red for visualizing successful injections.

Stress-Strain Characterization of Plastic Films

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The plastic films used in this work include polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyimide (PI), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP, Sigma-Aldrich/PVP40), polyvinyl butyral (PVB, Sigma/P110010), polyethylene oxide (PEO, Mv = 1,000,000, Sigma-Aldrich), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP), polylactic acid (PLA), polyethersulfone (PES) filter membrane, weighing paper, aluminum (Al) foil and copper (Cu) foil. Among them, PI, PET, PTFE, PES filter membrane, weighing paper, Al foil and Cu foil are commercial films with different thicknesses. The PVP, PVB, PEO, PVDF, and PVDF-HFP films were fabricated from their solution (4 wt%, PVP and PEO in water; PVB in isopropyl alcohol, PVDF and PVDF-HFP in N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone) through solvent volatilization. The PLA belt was fabricated via hot drawing with PLA at 250 °C as the sample for shape morphing at the microscale.
The stress-strain curves of these films were obtained by a mechanical tester (C42, MTS Systems Corporation) at 30 mm/min (Supplementary Fig. 2). Stress-strain hysteresis loops of plastic films were conducted at different strains (0.001, 0.0025, 0.005, 0.0075, 0.01, 0.015, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, and 0.10) to get the plastic strain-strain curves (Supplementary Fig. 3).

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.
