Preparation of CAS-Fe3+ Solution

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The CAS-Fe3+ solution was prepared as described by Schwyn and Neilands with minor modifications.[35 (link),38 (link)] All glassware was rinsed with 6 M hydrochloric acid, followed by double distilled water prior to use. In a graduated glass cylinder 6 mL of a 10 mM solution of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA, Oakwood Chemical) was diluted to approx. 40 mL with double distilled water. While stirring, 1.5 mL of a ferric iron solution (1 mM iron(III) chloride hexahydrate (Sigma–Aldrich) in 10 mM hydrochloric acid) was added. Upon slow addition of 7.5 mL of 2 mM aqueous Chrome Azurol S (dark orange, ThermoFisher Scientific) the solution adopted an intense blue coloration. In a separate glass flask, 9.71 g piperazine-hexahydrate (Sigma–Aldrich) were dissolved in double distilled water (ca. 20 mL) and cooled on ice. 6.25 mL of 12 N hydrochloric acid were carefully added and this buffered solution was poured into the glass cylinder containing the CAS-Fe3+ solution before double distilled water was added to a final volume of 100 mL. Finally, 5-sulfosalicylic acid (Sigma–Aldrich) was added to a final concentration of 4 mM and the solution was stored in a light-protected polyethylene bottle at room temperature. This CAS-Fe3+ solution was used for all in vitro experiments over the course of several weeks.

Silica-Titania Xerogel Synthesis and Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The following reagents were purchased from Acros Organics: triphenylmethane dyes (TPMD): pyrocatechol violet (PV), eriochrome cyanine R (ECR), chrome azurol S (CAS), hydrochloric acid, titanium(IV) tetraethoxyde, tetraethyl orthosilicate, and oxalic acid. All the reagents were of analytical grade, titanium(IV) tetraethoxyde was of technical grade. Stock solutions of oxalic acid and TPMD were prepared with doubly distilled water. Only freshly prepared solutions were used.
Silica–titania xerogels were obtained by drying in Ethos microwave equipment (Milestone, Sorisole, Italy). Surface area, porosity BET analysis, and BJH pore distribution analysis were carried out with ASAP 2000 (Micromeritics, Norcross, GA, USA). Absorbance of solutions (l = 1.0 cm) and xerogels water suspensions (l = 0.1 cm) was measured using Lambda 35 spectrophotometer (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA) equipped with 50 mm integrating sphere (Labsphere, North Sutton, NH, USA). The pH value was measured using Expert-001 (Econix Expert, Moscow, Russia) potentiometer with pH sensitive electrode. Chromatographic determination was conducted using MAESTRO HPLC system (Interlab, Moscow, Russia). A Kromasil C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm particle size) served as the stationary phase, mobile phase was distilled water (pH 2). UV detection was performed at 220 nm and a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min−1.

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.
