All the samples were completely dried before conducting the following analyses. The functional groups of the hybrid materials were analyzed using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR, Spectrum 100, PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA), and those of the TFC and TFN membranes were analyzed using an attenuated total reflectance FTIR (ATR-FTIR) (Spectrum 100, PerkinElmer). FTIR and ATR-FTIR analyses were both performed at room temperature over the wave number range of 450–3500 cm−1 with a resolution of 4 cm−1, and the spectrum of the averaged results of 40 scans of each sample was reported. Contact angles were measured to represent membrane surface hydrophilicity, according to the standard sessile drop method, by using a contact angle meter (Phx mini, Phoenix, Korea). The contact angles of each membrane sample were reported as the average of at least five droplets of Milli-Q water applied at random sites. The morphology and chemical compositions of the synthesized hybrid materials and membrane surfaces were investigated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM; SU-5000, Hitachi, Japan) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), respectively, after sputtering a thin layer of Au on the sample surface to enhance conductivity. The particle size of each hybrid material was measured using a laser particle size analyzer (90 Plus, Brookhaven Instruments Co., New York, NY, USA).

Characterization of Extracted Chitosan

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The extracted chitosan was characterized by an SEM (Hitachi, SU3800 model, Hitachi City, Japan), an EDX spectroscope (Rigaku, NEX model, Tokyo, Japan), an XRD (Philips, X’pert PRO model, Amsterdam, The Netherlands), and an FTIR spectroscope (PerkinElmer, Spectrum 100 model, Waltham, MA, USA). The surface morphology of the extracted chitosan samples was observed using an SEM. The samples were pretreated and dehydrated to prevent instrumental contamination due to the high vacuum in the SEM (Hitachi, SU3800 model, Japan) [11 (link)]. The chitosan samples adhered to a film of carbon, which was then coated with gold and palladium by a sputter coater. The samples were then placed into the magnification chamber to perform the spectroscopy at 15 kV and a magnification of 50,000× [12 (link)]. The chitosan samples were mixed with potassium bromide and compressed to form 1 cm diameter tablets. The tablets were then placed into the FTIR (PerkinElmer, Spectrum 100 model, Waltham, MA, USA) spectroscopy to be evaluated for their absorbance in the range of wavenumbers between 600 and 4000 cm−1 [8 (link),13 ,14 (link)].

The FTIR spectra of the heated and the unheated fibers were conducted using a Spectrum 100 (PerkinElmer, Beaconsfield, UK) equipped with a universal attenuated total reflectance (ATR-FTIR) accessory (PerkinElmer, Spectrum 100, Beaconsfield, UK). In total, 64 scans were measured per spectrum within the wavenumber range of 650 to 4000 cm−1, and then averaged using a resolution of 4 cm−1. The determination of peaks was performed with Spectrum 10 Spectroscopy Software (PerkinElmer, Beaconsfield, UK) and the peak deconvolution app (OriginLab Corporation, Northampton, MA, USA). The principal component analysis for the FTIR spectra was performed using the “Principal Component Analysis for Spectroscopy” app (OriginLab Corporation, Northampton, MA, USA).

The solvents (analytical grade), silica gel 60, and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) silica gel 60 F254 were obtained commercially from Merck (United States). The chemicals and reagents used in the synthesis reactions were obtained from Sigma Aldrich (Germany) with high purity (>95%). Acetylcholinesterase from Electrophorus electricus (500 UN), butyrylcholinesterase from Equine serum (1.2 KU), acetylthiocholine iodide, S-butyrylthiocholine chloride, and 5,5′-Dithiobis (2-nitro benzoic acid) were obtained from Sigma Aldrich. Tacrine (Purity >98%) was obtained from Cayman Chemical. The melting point of derivatives was determined by Electrothermal 9100 Series Apparatus. Mass spectra of derivatives were acquired from Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) (Agilent J&W) equipped with GC column HP-5MS (30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 µm). 1H and 13C NMR spectral data of derivatives were obtained from JEOL JNM-ECX 500 or JNM-ECZ 600 R NMR spectrometers. FTIR spectra of derivatives were recorded on Perkin Elmer Spectrum 100 (Perkin Elmer) equipped with attenuated total reflection (ATR). X-ray analysis was performed using Bruker APEX II DUO CCD diffractometer. Optically active xanthones were analysed using polarimeter Optika POL-1 bench polarimeter. The absorbance of the biological assay was measured with microplate reader BioTek Epoch 2.

Polydopamine Coating for Biomedical Micro-UFOs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Since most of the micro-UFO’s target application areas are biomedical applications, the surface of the micro-UFO is coated with polydopamine (PDA), which is a convenient material for biomedical applications [31 (link)]. Accordingly, after adding 100 mg of dopamine powder (Merck & Company, Inc., Kenilworth, NJ, USA) in 50 mL of purified water, Tris powder (100 mg) was dissolved in the prepared mixture. Starting with the beginning of the coating, the color of the solution gradually gets darker. In the end of the coating, the magnet coated with the PDA is separated from the solution using another magnet. After coating of magnet, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements were applied by Perkin Elmer Spectrum 100 (PerkinElmer, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA), which contains diamond crystals for reflection. After placing coated magnet in accessory, peaks of spectrum were measured at the wavelength of 1500–1650 cm−1 and 3200–3600 cm−1; these peaks indicate atomic vibrations of the hydroxyl groups and N–H vibrations in the structure (Figure 8). The presence of coating layer is confirmed by the FTIR spectrum observed in Figure 7. This demonstrates that the permanent magnet used in the robot’s body is successfully coated with PDA for biomedical applications.

FTIR was performed using a single-reflection diamond detector on a PerkinElmer Spectrum 100, (PerkinElmer, Llantrisant, Wales, UK) to analyze the vibrational changes in the chemical structures which occurred during product formation. Through obtaining the spectra of CUR, BrNQ and CurNQ, the chemical structure of the product could be ascertained, as FTIR allows for functional group identification. All samples were scanned from 4000–600 cm−1 at room temperature at a constant pressure of 120 psi.

For posaconazole Form I, an adequate quantity was placed with a spatula on the ATR crystal and a cotton swab was used for pressing the sample. Similarly, a quantity of approximately 20 mg of the isolated posaconazole precipitate was spread on the ATR crystal with a spatula and it was covered with the LDPE cling film.

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.
