Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
89Zr was produced in house by the 89Y(p,n) 89Zr reaction via an adaptation of the methods of Walther et al. [42 (link)] and Dabkowskiet al. [43 (link)]. Briefly, a disk of natural abundance 89Y foil (300 µm thick, Goodfellow, Huntingdon, UK) in a custom made aluminium holder was loaded into a COSTIS Solid Target System (STS) fitted to an IBA Cyclone (18/9) cyclotron (Brussels, Belgium) equipped with a 400 µm thick niobium beam degrader. The disk was irradiated for 4 h with a beam of energy of 40 µA. The irradiated disk was left in the cyclotron for 12 h to allow any short lived 89mZr to decay to 89Zr before removal for purification (activity 1.5-2 GBq). The disk was then dissolved in 2 M HCl (Fisher Scientific, Loughborough, UK) with stirring and heat and the 89Zr was isolated by flowing over a hydroxymate functionalized ion exchange resin column (freshly prepared in house for each separation). The column was rinsed with 2 M HCl and water to remove 89Y before the 89Zr was eluted with 1 M oxalic acid (Fisher Scientific, Loughborough, UK) and collected in 3 fractions of 1 mL. The most concentrated fraction contained 800–1000 MBq, which equates to a specific activity of 8.9–11.1 MBq/mg of oxalic acid (800–1000 MBq/mmol).

Mycobacterium Isolation from Tissue Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissue samples for microbiological culture were processed in a Containment Level 3 (CL3) facility at the University of Nottingham, Sutton Bonington Campus. Samples were processed according to22 (link). Briefly tissue pools or lesions were gently ground with sterile sand and 2 ml phosphate buffer saline (PBS; Dulbecco A, Oxoid). Samples were mixed with an equal amount of 5% oxalic acid (Fisher Scientific) and incubated at room temperature for 10 min to reduce non-mycobacterial contamination. The decontaminated pools (200 µl) were inoculated onto Stonebrink Selective agar supplemented with PACT (BD Diagnostics) and Middlebrook 7H11 agar slopes supplemented with PANTA (BD Diagnostics), and incubated at 37 °C for a minimum of 12 weeks. Cultures were examined approximately weekly for the appearance of colonies suggestive of mycobacteria.

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.
