Polyphenol standards (purity > 98%) were purchased as follows: 4-CQA, 3,4-diCQA, p-coumaric acid, quinic acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, and gallic acid from Sigma-Aldrich (Milan, Italy). The reagents used in simulated GiD, including α-amylase from human saliva, protease from Streptomyces griseus (Pronase), pepsin from porcine gastric mucosa, bile salts, Viscozyme L, pancreatin from porcine pancreas, potassium chloride (KCl), sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2(H2O)6), ammonium carbonate (NaHCO3)2), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and calcium chloride dihydrate (CaCl2(H2O)2), were provided from Sigma-Aldrich (Milan, Italy). The standards used in antioxidant assays, including 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolio chloride (TPTZ), Trolox, 2’2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), potassium persulfate (K2S2O8), and ferric chloride (FeCl3), were acquired from Sigma-Aldrich (Milan, Italy).
Formic acid (FA), water (H2O), and methanol (MeOH) were provided from Carlo Erba reagents (Milan, Italy). Deionized H2O was obtained from a Milli-Q water system (Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany).

Quantifying Surface Wettability with OCA 15Pro

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SWCA measurements were performed on an OCA 15Pro contact angle system (DataPhysics Instruments). Data acquisition and evaluation were realized with SWCA 20—contact angle (DataPhysics Instruments, version 2.0). For quantifying an average Young’s contact angle (θγ), 2 µL deionized H2O (18.2 M Ωcm at 25 °C, Merck Millipore) was dispensed with a rate of 0.2 µLs−1 from a 500-µL Hamilton syringe onto the sample surface. After allowing the droplet to settle for ∼3 s, an image was acquired for further processing. The procedure was repeated at least three times on different spots on the surface, and the SD was calculated.

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.
