Characterization of Nanoparticle Size and Surface Charge

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements were performed using a Malvern Nano ZetaSizer (Malvern Instruments, Malvern UK). Data was processed using Dispersion technology software (v 7.13, Malvern instruments, Malvern UK) using the multiple narrow modes algorithm based upon a non-negative least square fit to calculate the hydrodynamic diameter and the PolyDispersity Index (PDI). The z-average is an intensity-based overall average hydrodynamic size based on a specific fit to the raw correlation function data. The PDI is a measure of the degree of polydispersity of the sample. Zeta potential measurements were performed which measure the surface charge of particles by measuring their velocity while they are moving due to electrophoresis. Samples were diluted to c.5 mM and analysis was performed at 25°C. All measurements were performed three times, the average with standard deviation was reported.

The hydrodynamic diameter, PDI, and zeta potential of the CFE-NLCs and blank NLCs were determined using a Zetasizer Nano ZS instrument coupled with Dispersion Technology software (version 5) (Malvern Instruments Ltd, Malvern, Worcestershire, UK).23 (link)
Before measurement, the samples were diluted with ultrapure water to a 1:300 dilution. All measurements were repeated at least three times at 25°C.

Characterization of Iron Nanoparticles via DLS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dynamic
light scattering (DLS) measurements were performed at 25 °C using
a Malvern NanoZS (Malvern Instruments, Malvern U.K.). Typically, the
iron concentration of each sample was between 0.25 and 2 mM. Analysis
is done using Dispersion Technology software (v. 4.10, Malvern Instruments;
Worcestershire, U.K.) using the multiple narrow modes algorithm based
upon a non-negative least-squares fit. For all suspensions presented,
the PDI values were low and the cumulants fit matched
the data very well; hence, the Z-ave value is taken
as a measure of dhyd throughout. Zeta
potential (ζ) measurements were performed at 25 °C on a
Malvern NanoZS (Malvern Instruments, Malvern U.K.) using the M3-PALs
approach. All DLS and zeta potential measurements were run in triplicate.
In all cases, the three values were in very close agreement, and the
average was used.

Exosome Particle Size Analysis via DLS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A dynamic light scattering (DLS) system equipped with a 532-nm laser (Malvern Instruments, Malvern, UK) was used for exosome particle size analysis. Samples were diluted before analysis (10 μL, 1:100 diluted in PBS) and each sample was measured three times. Data was collected and analyzed by Dispersion Technology Software (Malvern Instruments). The size distribution was measured by signal intensity and the Z-average diameter obtained from the autocorrelation function using the general-purpose mode.

Dynamic Light Scattering Particle Size Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The scattered light intensity was measured using a Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS (Malvern, Herrenberg, Germany) equipped with a 633-nm He-Ne laser and operating at an angle of 173°. The Dispersion Technology Software, from Malvern, was used to collect and analyze the data. The measurements were made at a controlled temperature of 25 °C, on 500 μl of each sample measured in single-use polystyrene cuvettes (Fisher Emergo, Landsmeer, The Netherlands) with a pathlength of 10 mm. The intensity size distribution, the Z-average diameter (Z-ave) and the polydispersity index (PdI) were obtained from the autocorrelation function. The default upper threshold of 0.01, lower threshold of 0.05, and the default filter factor of 50% were used.

Particle Formation Monitoring via DLS

The formation of particles
in the stability samples was monitored using 90° DLS (Zetasizer
Nano ZS90, Malvern Instruments, Ltd., Westborough, MA). Approximately
1 mL of the reconstituted Mb sample was placed in a polystryrene cuvette
(VWR) and analyzed with a path length of 10 mm at 25 °C. Triplicate
samples for each formulation were recorded 3 times using an automatic
mode for the selection of best number of subruns. The z-average diameter (nm) was calculated from the correlation function
using the Dispersion Technology Software supplied with the instrument
(Version 4.20, Malvern, Westborough MA).

TiO2-NPs with 18 nm core diameter (as provided by manufacturer) were obtained from NanoGrade, Nanocomposix (San Diego, CA) and stock solutions were prepared in complete cell medium and dispersed by sonication according the previously described protocol used by [39 (link)]. NPs were characterized using zeta potential (Z-potential) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis. The measurements were assessed with a Malvern Zetasizer Nano series V5.03 (PSS0012-16 Malvern Instruments, Worcestershire, UK) and the analysis program dispersion technology software (Malvern Instruments, UK). The polydispersity index (PDI) was also assessed. Measurements were conducted in triplicates. Images of TiO2-NPs in cell medium were examined in a Jeol transmission electron microscopy 1230 (TEM) (Japan) at 100 kV.

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.
