Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The contents of N, C, H, and O were measured by an elemental analyzer (Vraio EL, Elementar, Hanau, German), which were used to estimate the conversion rate of the cyanidation and amidoxime reaction. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) (Bruker BioSpin GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany) was used to record the samples and to detect elements such as C, O, N, and Th(IV) in the AO-CELL. The morphological features of the cellulose and its derivatives were examined by the scanning electron microscope (SEM, Hitachi S-4800, Tokyo, Japan) and energy dispersive spectrometer (X-Max 80, Oxford Instruments, Oxford, UK). A Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) (Nicolet Avatar 360, Thermo Nicolet, Waltham, MA, USA) spectrum spectrometer was used to characterize the material functional group identifications in the range between 4000 and 500 cm−1 by mixing 0.01 g of the material with 0.1 g KBr (spectroscopy grade) pellets. The concentration of Th(IV) was determined by spectrophotometer method (Perkin-Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA) at a wavelength of 652 nm using Th(IV)–Arsenazo(III) complex [17 (link),54 (link)]. All the experimental data were the average of duplicate experiments, and the relative errors of data were less than 5%.

Aminolysis-Heparin Functionalization of PCU Grafts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We modified the aminolysis procedure as reported by Zhu et al. to introduce functional amine groups onto the surface of our polycarbonate-urethane (PCU) vascular graft (47 (link)). Briefly, PCU vascular grafts were aminolyzed by immersing them in 100% ethanol (EtOH) containing 50 mg/mL 4-arm-amine-Polyethylene glycol (PEG) (Sunbright PTE-050PA, NOF America Corporation, White Plains, NY), and heated at 60°C for approximately 4 hours. Aminolyzed grafts were subsequently washed thoroughly with 70% EtOH followed by distilled water. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry was performed with a FTIR spectrometer (Nicolet Avatar 360, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) as described previously to verify the presence of amine functional groups on the graft surface (data not shown) (48 (link)). Lastly, 30 mg/mL of unfragmented heparin sodium (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) was covalently conjugated to the free amines on the surface of aminolyzed grafts via EDC and Sulfo-NHS (Pierce Biotechnology, Rockford, IL) as described previously (49 (link)). These heparin-conjugated grafts via aminolysis will be referred to as aminolysis-heparin grafts in the remainder of this study.

Characterization of Novel EDAM Compounds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All compounds were fully characterized
by spectroscopic data. The NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker DRX500
& DRX600. Chemical shifts (δ) are expressed in ppm, J values are given in Hz, and deuterated DMSO-d6 & CDCl3 were used as the solvent. IR
spectra were recorded on a FT-IR Thermo Nicolet Avatar 360 using a
KBr pellet. The reactions were monitored by thin layer chromatography
using silica gel GF254. The melting points were determined
on a XT-4A melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. HRMs were
performed on an Agilent LC/Msd TOF instrument.
Materials used
were purchased from Adamas-beta Corporation Limited. All chemicals
and solvents were used as received without further purification unless
otherwise noted. Column chromatography was performed on silica gel
(200–300 mesh). EDAMs 1 were prepared according
to the literature.41 (link),42 (link)

Characterization of Hydrogel Functionalization

Coating of MDP1 on hydrogel surface was confirmed by ATR-FTIR analysis. This assay determined the newly formed functional groups in MECs-MDP1 in comparison to MECs. The IR spectra of the MECs-MDP1 hydrogel were recorded at 400-4,000 cm-1 by a FTIR instrument (Thermo Nicolet Avatar 360, United States).
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to assess the morphology of synthesized hydrogels (MECs and MECs-MDP1) using a SEM instrument (AIS2100C-SERON Technology, South Korea). To perform this analysis, the hydrogel samples were fixed with 2.5% glutaraldehyde and freeze-dried to ensure complete drying. The samples were coated with nanogold particles prior to visualization.

All chemicals and solvents were directly
used, without further purification unless otherwise stated. Materials 2 and 3 were ordered from Adamas Reagent Ltd.
The silica gel (200–300 mesh) was used to perform column chromatography.
All synthesized chemical molecules were characterized by full spectroscopic

DMSO-d6 as a solvent and tetramethylsilane
as the internal standard. J values are given in Hz,
and chemical shifts (δ) are expressed in ppm. A Fourier transform
infrared Thermo Nicolet Avatar 360 was used to characterize IR spectra
by using a KBr pellet. The whole process of each reaction was monitored
in real time by the thin-layer chromatography (TLC) with silica gel
GF254. A XT-4A melting point apparatus was used to detect the melting
points without further correction. HRMS was characterized on an Agilent
LC/Msd TOF and monoisotopic mass instrument.

FTIR Analysis of Surface-Modified Composites

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Surface modification of the composites by chemical treatment was confirmed with FTIR measurements using Thermo Nicolet Avatar 360 in 650–4000 cm−1 range with 128 scans. Composites were vacuum dried overnight and directly placed on to the attenuated total reflection (ATR) mount on the FTIR instrument. With the use of ATR, FTIR measurement gives the chemical environment of the surface rather than the interior of the sample, which helps the proper identification of surface analysis of the composite samples. Not less than three FTIR spectra were taken for each sample to confirm the equal distribution of modification over the composite surface.

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.
