Reagents and solvents were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Taufkirchen, Germany), Glen Research (Sterling, VA, USA), or Alfa Aesar (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and were used without further purification. Phospholipids were purchased from Bachem AG (Bubendorf, Switzerland) or Avanti Polar Lipids (Alabaster, AL, USA). Fluorescent dyes were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Germany). Cell culture media and additives were from Gibco® (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).
For the mass spectrometry analysis, an Ultraflex III MALDI-TOF-TOF instrument (Bruker Daltonics GmbH, Bremen, Germany) equipped with a Smartbeam 2 laser with a repetition rate up to 200 Hz (500 laser shots) was used. The obtained mass spectrum was analyzed with Flex-analysis version 4.0 software (Bruker Daltonics GmbH).
The HPLC separation and analysis were performed with Waters® Alliance 2695 (Waters® Corporation, Milford, MA, USA) apparatus equipped with the ultraviolet (UV) detector Waters® 486 (Waters Corporation) and analyzed with Millennium 32 software (Waters Corporation). The reverse phase analytical C8 column (Macherey-Nagel, GmbH & Co, KG, Hoerdt, France) was used for all separations.

Embryonic Development Morphology and Permeability

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The morphology of embryos was examined by using embryos dissected from day 1 adults followed by mounting on a 2% agarose pad on a glass slide. DIC and fluorescent images were taken by using Leica DM 2500 (Leica, Ernst-Leitz-Straße, Wetzlar, Germany). For the osmotic sensitivity assay, embryos were placed in water, egg buffer or 1 M potassium chloride for 1 h at room temperature. For the dye permeability assay, embryos were stained with 0.4% trypan blue or 10 g/ml fluorescent dyes (Sigma-Aldrich) in PBS in the dark for 30 min. For the permeability barrier assay, embryos in the genetic background of OD344 (mCherry::CPG-2; GFP::PH) were used. The integrity of the permeability barrier was determined by the localization of mCherry::CPG-2. To quantify polarity, the area of two daughter cells was analyzed by Image J (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA). The polarity defect was defined as the area of the anterior cell less than 53% of total embryonic cells. For brood size measurement, the total number of viable F1 worms derived from RNAi-treated parents was determined. For the embryonic development determination, time-lapsed images of embryos were taken at room temperature by using Leica DM 2500 (Leica).

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.
