Retinol, retinaldehyde and retinoic acid were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO) and were prepared as 1 mM stock in DMSO and stored in the vapor phase of nitrogen liquid. Corexit-EC9500A and Corexit-EC9527A (Nalco Energy Services, L.P., Sugar Land, TX) were kindly provided by Dr. Paddy Wiesenfeld at the U.S. FDA [41 (link)]. SPAN®80 (CAS#1338-43-8), TWEEN®80 (CAS#9005-65-6), TWEEN®85 (CAS#9005-70-3), Dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium salt (DOSS, CAS#577-11-7), Di-(propylene glycol) butyl ether (CAS#29911-28-2), 2-Butoxyethanol (CAS#111-76-2), and 1,2-Propanediol (CAS#57-55-6) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Chemical concentration of 1ppm is defined as 0.0001% v/v except for DOSS, which is 0.0001% w/v.

The hydrophobic ink used in this study
was prepared using fumed silica with an average nanoparticle size
of 16 nm, epoxy resin (poly bisphenol A-co-epichlorohydrin,
Sigma-Aldrich, South Korea), reagent (2-butoxyethanol, Sigma-Aldrich,
South Korea), and a curing agent (4,4′-methylene bis (2-chloroaniline),
Sigma-Aldrich, South Korea). Initially, a silica solution was created,
mixing 0.45 g of fumed silica (Aerosoil R 972, Evonik Industry, Germany)
and 9.42 g of 2-butoxyethanol with a magnetic stirrer at room temperature
for 8 h. A separate epoxy resin solution was formed by mixing 0.50
g of epoxy resin pellets, 0.08 g of curing agent, and 9.55 g of 2-butoxyethanol
with a magnetic stirrer at 70 °C for 8 h. Subsequently, the silica
and epoxy resin solutions were combined in an equal volume ratio (50%
by volume) and mixed for an additional 1 h at room temperature. The
resulting solution was then sonicated in an ultrasonic bath for 5
min to ensure a thorough mixture. The formulated solution had a viscosity
of 11 cP and a surface tension of 23.17 mN/m as measured by a viscometer
(DV -III Ultra, Brookfield, USA) at 10 rpm and a surface tension analyzer
(SEO-DST30M, SEO, South Korea), respectively.

The 2-butoxyethanol, spectrophotometric grade with a purity of ≥99.0%, 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol with a purity of 99.0%, octanal with a purity of 99%, D-Limonene, ε-Caprolactam; 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone with a purity of 98.0%, diethyl phthalate with a purity of 99.5%, benzophenone with a purity of ≥99.0%, benzoic acid with a purity of 99.5%, vanillin with a purity of 99.0%, 2,4-ditertbutylphenol with a purity of 99.0%, and α-terpineol were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany). Nonanal with purity of 98.7% was purchased from Supelco (Bellefonte, PA, USA). The 2-phenoxyethanol with purity of ≥99.0% was supplied by Fluka (Seelze, Germany). Working solutions were prepared by diluting different amounts of the stock standard solution in methanol.

MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) was used to assess cell viability. HaCaT cells were grown in a 24 well plate for 24 hours, then treated for a further 24 hours with 200nM peptides in media. Peptide was then removed and the tetrazolian MTT dye (Sigma-Aldrich, Poole, UK) added at a concentration of 0.5mg/ml in cell media for 1 hour. Cells were then lysed with 2-butoxyethanol (Sigma-Aldrich, Poole, UK) and the absorbance of supernatants measured at 562nm.

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.
