Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The sesame meal extract was dissolved in 50% ethanol to 10 mg/mL, clarified with 0.45 µm syringe filters, and 10 μL of the sample was injected into a Shimadzu HPLC system (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) with a COSMOSIL Cholester packed column (4.6 mm I.D. × 250 mm, Nacalai, Kyoto, Japan), eluted at 1 mL/min, 40 °C. A binary gradient elution was employed with 0.1% (v/v) acetic acid (Nacalai, Kyoto, Japan) aqueous solution and 95% acetonitrile (Nacalai, Kyoto, Japan) with 0.1% (v/v) acetic acid as mobile phase A and B, respectively. The gradient of mobile phase B was programed as: 0–5 min, 5% to 20%; 5–40 min, 20% to 60%; 40–50 min, 100%; 50–65 min, 5%. UV detection was carried out at 195 nm. The contents of free LA and OA in the sesame meal extract were quantified by using the standard curves generated with reference standards (Wako, Osaka, Japan).

All the guaranteed reagents were used without further purification. Zinc sulfate heptahydrate (ZnSO4⋅7H2O) was purchased from KISHIDA CHEMICAL Co., Ltd., Japan, and acetic acid (AA), malonic acid (MA), and citric acid (CA) were purchased from Nacalai Tesque, INC. Japan. Solutions were prepared by dissolving the reagents in ultra-pure water. Two types of mother solutions were prepared, and they contained one of the carboxylic acids (AA, MA, CA) and Zn of different molar ratios. One contained 1.0 M acetate (Ac) and 0.5 M Zn, and the other contained 2.0 M Ac and 0.5 M Zn. Solutions of different pH values were prepared by adding small volumes of commercial 1.0 M hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide.

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.
