240 m silicon cantilever

Manufactured by Olympus

Sourced in United States

The 240-µm silicon cantilever is a key component in Olympus' line of lab equipment. It is a microscale mechanical structure made of silicon, measuring 240 micrometers in length. This cantilever is designed to precisely measure and detect small forces, displacements, and other physical properties in various scientific and engineering applications.

Synthetic IAPP, prepared as described above, was incubated with shaking at 37°C in the presence of each individual plant extract. After 40 min of incubation, 17 µL of each IAPP/food sample was deposited onto freshly cleaved mica. The mica was incubated at room temperature for 5 min before washing with 200 µL sterile-filtered water. The sample was allowed to air dry. Samples were scanned using an MFP-3D atomic force microscope (Asylum Research) set on A/C mode and a 240-µm silicon cantilever (Olympus). All images are shown as the raw data with no flattening.

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.
