ATR-FTIR Analysis of Hydrated Lipid Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ATR-FTIR (Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared) spectra were collected on a Varian 2000 FTIR spectrometer (Varian Inc, USA) using a 'GoldenGate' single reflection diamond ATR accessory (Specac Ltd, UK). 256 scans were acquired at a resolution of 2 cm -1 . Spectra were recorded at room temperature both as hydrated lipid suspension (immediately after pipetting a drop of the sample on the top of the ATR element) and as dry film spectra (after drying the sample on the ATR crystal). ATR correction was applied after each data collection. The spectral deconvolution of selected bands was performed using mixed Gaussian and Lorentzian functions. Band positions were estimated using the second derivative, band shapes were approximated by mixed Gaussian and Lorentzian function until the  2 parameter became minimal. The GRAMS/32 software package was used for all spectral manipulations.

Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ATR-FTIR spectra were acquired using a Varian 2000 FTIR Scimitar Series spectrometer fitted with a Golden Gate single reflection diamond ATR accessory (Specac Ltd, UK). 5 μl of sample was mounted on the diamond ATR crystal. The measurements were done at room temperature immediately after mounting (i. e. in the solution) as well as after drying the sample by slow evaporation of the buffer solvent under ambient conditions. 64 scans were co-added at a nominal resolution of 2 cm−1. Prior to spectral evaluation, the buffer background was subtracted, and all spectra were smoothened with a Savitzky-Golay convolution function. The GRAMS/32 software package (Galactic Inc, USA) was used for all spectral manipulations.

ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy for Polymer Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy measurements were conducted using a Varian 2000 FTIR Scimitar spectrometer (Varian Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA) fitted with a liquid nitrogen-cooled mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) detector and a ‘Golden Gate’ single reflection diamond ATR accessory (Specac Ltd., Orpington, UK). A sample amount of 5 µL was dropped onto the diamond ATR surface, and the dry film spectrum was collected (at 2 cm−1 resolution and 64 scans) after the slow evaporation of the solvent under ambient conditions. Each data acquisition was followed by ATR correction. Spectral deconvolution was performed using the GRAMS/AI (7.02) spectroscopy software (Thermo Galactic, Walthman, MA, USA). Band positions for curve fitting were established using the second derivative and were fixed during the fitting procedure. Band shapes were approximated by Lorentzian functions. The intensities and the bandwidth of each component were allowed to vary until the minimal χ2 parameter was reached. After the fitting procedure, the relative contribution of a particular band component was calculated from the integrated areas of the individual components [17 (link)].

FTIR spectroscopic measurements were conducted using a Varian 2000 FTIR Scimitar spectrometer (Varian Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA) fitted with a liquid nitrogen-cooled mercury-cadmium-telluride (MCT) detector and with a ‘Golden Gate’ single reflection diamond ATR accessory (Specac Ltd., Orpington, UK). Onto the diamond ATR surface, 5 µL of the sample was mounted, and the spectrum was collected (2 cm−1 resolution and 64 scans) for a dry film after slow evaporation of the buffered solvent under ambient conditions. Each data acquisition was followed by ATR correction, and buffer subtraction and baseline corrections were performed. For peak identification, spectra were normalized by the area, and the second derivative was calculated. Spectra analysis was performed using the Origin software package (OriginLab, Northampton, MA, USA).

FTIR spectroscopy was used to characterize crosslinked and sulfonated hydrogels with or without collagen absorption. The spectra of freeze-dried samples were acquired in attenuated total reflection mode (ATR) using a Nicolet 6700 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) equipped with a Golden Gate single reflection diamond ATR accessory (Specac, Orpington, UK). All spectra were recorded with 200 scans/spectrum at 4 cm−1 resolution.

of a Varian 2000 (Scimitar Series) FT-IR spectrometer (Varian Inc.,
US) using a MCT (mercury-cadmium-telluride) detector and fitted with
a “Golden Gate” single reflection diamond ATR accessory

was collected immediately with 128 scans at a spectral resolution
of 2 cm–1. All spectral manipulations (water spectrum
subtraction, second derivative, etc.) were performed using the GRAMS/AI
software package.

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.
