LLC. Sweden, were used as ion channel blockers. Deionized distilled water (Milli Q water purification system, Millipore) was used for preparation of stock solutions (10 mM) and experimental solutions. For logistic reasons, only one concentration (0.1 mM) was used within each inhibitor treatment. This concentration was chosen based on those commonly used in the literature in ion channel studies29 (link)30 (link)31 32 (link). Inhibitor stock solutions were prepared fresh, immediately prior to the experiment. 160 eggs from each family were used for each inhibitor treatment, resulting in a total of 3 000 eggs for the following experiment.

Magnesium Content Analysis by AAS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mg content was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), acetylene-air flame technique with Zeeman background correction. The determination was carried out using the Z-2000 instrument (Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan). Before the analysis, all of the analyzed samples were diluted, depending on the declared content of the tested element. Lanthanum chloride (1% LaCl3, Sigma-Aldrich, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) was used as the sequestering agent. The assay was performed at a wavelength of 285.2 nm and 7.5 mA current lamps. The concentration was read from the curve prepared using a 1 mg/mL Mg standard solution for AAS (Merck, Germany). The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.26 mg/kg and 0.78 mg/kg, respectively.
The conducted research did not require the approval of the Bioethics Committee of the Medical University of Bialystok.

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.
