Characterization of Grown Zinc Telluride Nanowires

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Initial evaluation of
the grown nanowires was done under an optical microscope (Olympus
BX-51). Detailed examination of the grown nanowires and of the fabricated
devices was done using field-emission scanning electron microscope
(SEM, LEO Supra 55 VP Zeiss) at a low working voltage of 3–4
kV. Thin cross-section lamellas were prepared using focused-ion beam
(FIB, FEI Helios DualBeam). High-resolution TEM (HRTEM, FEI Tecnai
F-30) was used at a working voltage of 300 kV to acquire detailed
information regarding the dimensions, morphology, and crystal structure
of the nanowires. To determine the crystallographic orientation of
the guided nanowires, and calculate their epitaxial relations with
the sapphire substrates, the HRTEM images were analyzed using Fourier
transform (FFT) from selected areas in the nanowires cross-section
and according to crystallographic tables for bulk ZnTe. The longitudinal
and transversal mismatch between the nanowires and the substrate were
calculated using eq 1. An energy-dispersive X-ray
spectroscopy (EDS)
detector installed within a transmission electron microscope (TEM,
Philips Tecnai F-20) was used at a working voltage of 300 kV for elemental
characterization of the nanowires. Energy-filtered TEM (EFTEM, Philips
Tecnai F-20) was used for elemental mapping.

Formvar‐coated grids were floated on 20‐μl drops of a bacterial cell suspension (Mantri et al., 2015). Excess sample was withdrawn by touching the edge of the grid to the cut edge of Whatman filter paper. The grids were negatively stained with a 1% solution of phosphotungstic acid and observed using a Tecnai F20 transmission electron microscope (Philips, Holland). More than 20 fields of view were randomly selected for each group. The flagellum lengths were measured from the images (n = 6 cells per condition) using Osiris 4.0 software (Geneva, Switzerland).

Comprehensive Physicochemical Characterization of SnAC–Fe3O4 Nanocomposites

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The samples' X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were acquired with a RIGAKU, D/MAX-2500 powder diffractometer equipped with a Cu Kα radiation source (λ = 1.541 Å) operating at 40 kV and 300 mA. The structure and surface characteristics of the samples were investigated under transmission electron microscopy (TEM, 200 kV, Tecnai F20, Philips) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM-4700) equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX). The morphological analysis results, chemical compositions and binding energies were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FT-IR, 4100, Jasco, Japan) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, K-alpha, Thermo VG Scientific). Fourier-transform infrared spectrophotometry (FT-IR, 4100, Jasco, Japan) was utilized to examine the vibration peaks of the SnAC–Fe3O4 nanocomposites before and after the annealing process. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area and average pore diameter were obtained from N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms using a fully automatic physisorption analyzer (ASAP 2020, Tristar). Also, the zeta potentials of the SnAC sample, Fe3O4 NPs, and SnAC–Fe3O4 nanocomposites were obtained by dynamic laser-light scattering (DLS, Zeta PALS).

Soot Characterization via HRTEM

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Soot morphology and nanostructure are originate from the TEM images that are collected using a HRTEM (high-resolution transmission electron microscope), Philips Tecnai F20, by 0.248 nm point resolutions at 200 kV. A MBSM (momentum-based sampling method) is introduced to collect soot sample before using TEM equipment. Exhaust gases, which come from exhaust pipeline in CI engines, are forced to the TEM grids using a vacuum pump. PM samples subside on high TEM grids. Afterwards, the soot samples are uninterruptedly flushed by dichloromethane solvent, and obtain the experimental samples. Same processes of fringe analysis and digitization of TEM images are referred from paper of previous studies [29] , [36] .

Characterization of RBD mRNA-LNP Formulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The particle size distribution, polydispersity index (PDI) value and zeta potential of RBD mRNA-LNP was analyzed by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS, Zetasizer Nano ZS, Malvern Panalytical ltd., Malvern, WR, UK). The sample was diluted 100-fold and equilibrated for 120 s at 25 °C prior to size and zeta potential measurements. The hydrodynamic diameter (z-average) and zeta potential of RBD mRNA-LNP was analyzed by Zetasizer software, version 7.11 (https://www.malvern.com). The morphology of RBD mRNA-LNP in a dry state was observed using cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM, Tecnai F20, Philips, Eindhoven, the Netherlands). Briefly, the sample solution was diluted 10-fold and transferred onto 300-mesh copper grids covered with porous carbon film (HC300-Cu, PELCO) for blotting and plunging in a 100% humidity temperature-controlled chamber using a Vitroblot system (FEI). The copper grids were stored in liquid nitrogen and transferred to the electron microscope on a cryo-stage for imaging. The mRNA encapsulation efficiency (EE%) and concentration was determined with a Quant-iT RiboGreen RNA assay kit (Invitroge, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The agarose gel retardation assay was performed to analyze the size and integrity of bound/unbound mRNA. The bound/unbound mRNA in LNP nanoparticles was analyzed in the presence and absence of 1% Triton X-100.

The mean particle diameters of liposomes (LD, sLV, or LSRB) were measured by DLS at 25°C using a Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS (Malvern Instruments, Worcestershire, United Kingdom) with a laser at a wavelength of 633 nm and a 90° scattering angle. The zeta-potential of the liposomes was determined using laser Doppler electrophoresis on a Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS. Liposome structure was visualized with a cryo-TEM (Tecnai F20, Philips) operating at 200 kV. Specimens were plated on porous carbon film-covered 300-mesh copper grids (HC300-Cu, PELCO). The grids were blotted at 100% humidity and 4 °C for 3 s, and then rapidly frozen in liquid ethane cooled by liquid nitrogen using a Vitrobot (FEI). The grids were introduced into the high-vacuum of the electron microscope column. The low dose condition for each exposure was ∼20 e Å-2. The liposomes in the holes of the carbon film were observed under cryo-TEM using a 70 μm objective aperture. Images were acquired at 10 k or 50 k magnification and were recorded using a 4 k × 4 k CCD camera (Gatan UltraScan 4000).

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.
