Background

• Mr. Ricardo Delgado Martín requests PROVISION OF RESEARCH SERVICES to the UAL

named:

"DETECTION OF GRAPHENE IN AQUEOUS SUSPENSION SAMPLE"

- On 06/10/2021 1 vial was received by courier, labeled with the following text:

- “COMIRNATY™ .Sterile concentrate. COVID-19 mRNA. 6 doses after

dilution.

- Discard date / time: PAA165994.LOT / EXP: EY3014 08/2021 ”

- Origin and traceability: unknown

- State of conservation: refrigerated

- Maintenance during the study: refrigerated

- Coding of the problem sample to be analyzed: RD1

Preliminary observations of the test sample RD1

Description:

- Sealed vial, with rubber and aluminum cap intact, of 2 ml capacity,

containing a 0.45 ml cloudy aqueous suspension.

- RNA extraction and quantification is performed

- Presence of uncharacterized nanometric microbiology is observed, visible at 600X in optical microscope

Sample processing

1. Dilution in 0.9% sterile physiological saline (0.45 ml + 1.2 ml)

2. Polarity fractionation: 1.2 ml hexane + 120 ul of RD1 sample

3. Extraction of hydrophilic phase

4. Extraction and quantification of RNA in the sample

5. Electron and optical microscopy of aqueous phase

Preliminary analysis: extraction and quantification of Rna in the sample

1. RNA extraction: Kit https://www.fishersci.es/shop/products/ambion-purelink-rna-mini-kit-

7/10307963

2. Quantification of total UV absorbance in spectrophotometer

3. Specific quantification of Rna by fluorescence QUBIT2.0:

UV absorption spectrum of the aqueous phase of the RD1 sample (Nano-

drop team)

Maximum absorption of SAMPLE RD1 (260-270 nm)

- RNA. It presents usual maximums at 260 nm. Total concentration estimated by QUBIT2.0

fluorometry: 6 ng / ul

- The spectrum reveals the presence of a high quantity of substances or substances other than Rna

with maximum absorption in the

same region, with a total estimated at 747 ng / ul (uncalibrated estimate)

- Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) has absorption maxima at 270 nm, compatible with the spectrum

obtained (Thema et al, 2013. Journal of Chemistry ID 150536)

- The maximum absorption obtained DOES NOT ALLOW TO DISCARD the presence of

graphene in the sample. The minimum amount of RNA detected by QUBIT2.0 only explains a residual percentage of the total UV absorption of the sample.

OBJECTIVE: Microscopic identification of graphene derivatives

METHODOLOGY:

1. Imaging in optical and electron microscopy

2. Comparison with literature images and reduced graphene oxide standard sample

TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY (TEM)

Electron microscopy (TEM) is commonly used to image graphene nanomaterials. It has become a fairly standard and easy to use an instrument that is capable of imaging individual layered graphene

sheets.
