Characterization of Porous Polymer Films

HIPEs were observed by optical microscopy (Olympus BX51) with a camera QICAM (FAST1394) and the software Linksys 32. The droplet size was determined using ImageJ analysis software as the average of 100 image readings. The macroporous structure of the polyHIPEs films was observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM; Mira from TESCAN) at an accelerating voltage of 10 kV. All samples were gold-coated. The diameters of the pores were calculated by ImageJ analysis software as the average of 100 image readings.
The total pore volume (VT) was estimated as 1/ρb − 1/ρw where ρb is the polyHIPE film density and ρw is the wall density of pores that is the density of the NC polymer (curing PDMS/Ag-Nps nanocomposite). ρw corresponded to the density of the flat PDMS film containing the same amount of Ag-Nps than the respective polyHIPE film. ρb and ρw were calculated by measuring the volume and weight of the polyHIPE and flat PDMS films, respectively.
X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of polyHIPE films were collected by using an Empyrean diffractometer (Cu Kα radiation, 0.02° step size and 30 s counting time). In addition, polyHIPEs films were analysed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) using a Bruker AXS. To verify the presence of Ag-Nps onto the porous surface of the films, EDS analysis was performed at different points of the samples.

Chromosome Cytological Measurement and Karyotype Analysis

Chromosome cytological measurement and karyotype analysis followed the procedure described in previous studies [17 , 18 , 20 (link)]. A Sensys CCD camera (QIMAGING, RETIGA-SRV, FAST 1394) attached to an Olympus BX61 epifluorescence microscope (Tokyo, Japan) was used for FISH image acquisition. The chromosomes and the hybridization status of the probes used were captured under different fluorochrome channels. Mitotic metaphase images were superimposed, pseudocolored and merged in the Image-Pro plus 6.5 software (Media Cybernetics). The automatically merged images were measured using the ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Wayne Rasband, MD, USA). The overall chromosome size was estimated by measuring the lengths of both the short and long arms of the chromosomes, excluding satellites and nucleolar organizer regions. Homologous chromosomes were identified on the basis of chromosome lengths, morphological features, and repetitive DNA FISH signals. Final images were adjusted, and the chromosomes were organized in decreasing order by the Adobe Photoshop CS6 software. Ideograms were drawn based on the measurements and FISH signals.

Multiprobe FISH Analysis

FISH was performed according to published protocols [32 (link)]. Firstly, slides were hybridized with oligo librariy 1 (biotin-labeled) and oligo librariy 2 (digoxigenin-labeled). After the first round of probing and image capture, coverslips were taken off carefully and wash the slides three times in 1X PBS (phosphate-buffered saline) (5 min each). The slides were then dehydrated in an ethanol series (70, 90, and 100 %, 5 min each), denatured again in 70 % formamide at 80 °C for 2 min, dehydrated in a second ethanol series, and reprobed with the 45S rDNA (biotin-labeled) and 5S rDNA (digoxigenin-labeled) sequences simultaneously. Biotin-labeled and digoxigenin-labeled probes were detected using a fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated antibiotin antibody (Vector Laboratories) and a rhodamine-conjugated antidigoxigenin antibody (Roche Diagnostics), respectively. Chromosomes were counterstained with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) in a VectaShield antifade solution (Vector Laboratories). Images were captured digitally using a CCD camera (QIMAGING, RETIGA-SRV, FAST 1394) attached to an Olympus BX63 epifluorescence microscope. Gray-scale images were captured for each color channel and then merged. Final image adjustments were done with Adobe Photoshop (Adobe Systems).

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.
