Water bath

Manufactured by Avantor
Sourced in United States

A water bath is a laboratory instrument used to maintain a consistent temperature in a controlled environment. It typically consists of an insulated container filled with water that can be heated or cooled to a specific temperature. The water bath provides a stable and uniform temperature for various applications, such as incubation, thawing, and temperature-sensitive reactions.

Optimized Wheat Grain Protein Extraction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Individual wheat grains (cv Hereward) were crushed between filter paper using pliers, and transferred to a clean Eppendorf. To three crushed grains (per extraction) 250 μL of extraction buffer was added.
Rapigest™ was included in all extracts at 0.2% (w/v) in order to improve protease digestion. All extractions were carried out for 15 min with sonication in a water bath heated to 60°C (VWR, Leicestershire, UK), vortexing every 5 min. Extracts were then centrifuged at 10,000 × g for 10 min, the supernatant collected and transferred to a clean microcentrifuge tube. Three biological replicates were extracted with each buffer. Protein concentration of the biological replicates for each extraction was initially determined using 2D Quant Assay™ (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire UK) as per the manufacturer's instructions using bovine serum albumin as a standard. The protein extraction rate was calculated as a percentage of the total grain protein determined with a Kjeldhal analysis using the Dumas combustion method for each extraction.

Immediately prior to cell exposures, MWNTs were suspended in serum-free DCCM-1 at a concentration of 1 mg/mL, vortexed for 1 minute and then sonicated in a water bath (42 kHz, 135 W, VWR International, USA) for 10 minutes. This stock solution was diluted in DCCM-1 to the required doses (0 – 50 µg/mL) and sonicated briefly prior to cell exposure. The cells were exposed to MWNTs with required doses (0 – 50 µg/mL) for 24 hours. All exposures were performed in triplicate.

Zoospore Exudate Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Zoospore exudate was examined for its activity to various factors, including multiple temperature and enzymes. To test the effect of temperature, 10 ml ZE was incubated in a 15-ml tube, which was placed in water bath (VWR Scientific Inc., Radnor, PA, United States) at temperatures of 40, 60, 80, and 100°C for 20 min, or in an autoclave (Amsco Lab 250 sterilizer, Steris Inc., Mentor, OH, United States) at 121°C for 15 min. Proteinase K (Sigma-Aldrich, Inc., St. Louis, MO, United States, 37°C, pH 7.5), and catalase (MP Biomedicals, 25°C, pH 7.0) were tested for their effect on activity by incubating ZE with 10 mg/ml of each enzyme for 2 h at the optimal temperature according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Zoospore germination and tuber infection were tested using treated ZE as described above. Enzymes and solvents only were tested at the same time as negative controls. Four replicates were set for each treatment, and the experiments were conducted twice.

Multiplex RNAscope for Cardiac Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In situ hybridization was performed using formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue samples and the RNAscope Multiplex Detection KIT V2 (RNAscope, cat. no. 323100) and RNAscope 4-Plex Ancillary Kit (RNAscope, cat. no. 323120) following the manufacturer’s protocol with minor modifications. The antigen retrieval was performed for 30 min at 99 °C in a water bath (VWR). Tissue pretreatment and washing was performed as suggested by the RNAscope staining protocol. The following probes were used for the RNAscope assay: Hs-CD163 cat. no. 417061-C1, Hs-CCR2 cat. no. 438221-C1, Hs-ANKRD1 cat. no. 524241-C1, Hs-POSTN cat. no. 575941-C1, Hs-Col15a1 cat. no. 484001-C2, Hs-Col1a1 cat. no. 401891-C2, Hs-PECAM1-O2 cat. no. 487381-C2, Hs-NPPB cat. no. 448511-C2, Hs-TREM2 cat. no. 420491-C2, Hs-SPP1 cat. no. 420101-C2, Hs-NPR3 cat. no. 431241-C3, Hs-POSTN cat. no. 409181-C3, Hs-SCARA5 cat. no. 574781-C3, Hs-TNNT2 cat. no. 518991-C3, Hs-SPP1 cat. no. 420101-C4 and Hs-NFE2L1 cat. no. 53850.

Thermal Stability Profiling of Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein samples were diluted in buffer A to 0.2 mg/mL and each sample (100 µL in triplicate) was heated for 10 min in a water bath (VWR, PA, USA) at 25, 30, 37, 40, 45, 50, 52, 55, 57, 60, 65, 67, 70, 75, and 85 °C and placed on ice prior to measurement. The LmTIME65Q was subjected to higher temperatures due to its known higher thermostability (25, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 78, 80, 83, 86, 90, 95, and 99 °C. The samples were analyzed in white closed-bottom microtiter plates (Hamilton, Reno (NV), USA) with a Thermo Scientific Varioskan LUX (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham (MA), USA). IgG, BSA, OVA, and Fab samples were excited at 295 nm and the emission spectrum were recorded between 314–550 nm, while LmTIME65Q was excited at 280 nm and the emission was recorded at 290–550 nm.

Glucosinolates and Lutein Extraction from Kale

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Extraction of glucosinolates and lutein from kale sprouts powder was carried out in a single process based on the protocol published by Moreira-Rodríguez et al. [32 (link)]. Briefly, kale samples (0.2 g) were mixed with 10 mL of ethanol/water (70:30, v/v), previously heated for 10 min at 70 °C to inactivation of myrosinase, followed by the addition of 50 μL of sinigrin 3 mM as internal standard (I.S.).
Samples were immersed in a water bath (VWR, Radnor, PA, USA) at 70 °C and vortexed every 5 min for 30 min to inactivate myrosinase. Then, the extracts were left to cool at 25 °C and centrifuged (18,000× g, 10 min, 4 °C) (SL16R, Thermo Scientific, GER) to recover the supernatant. The supernatant obtained was used for the identification and quantification of individual glucosinolates, lutein, and phenolic compounds by HPLC-DAD (1260 Infinity, Agilent Technology, Santa Clara, CA, USA).

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.
