Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Populus tomentosa clones (TC1521) were grown in culture on a half-strength Murashige–Skoog (MS) medium (Murashige and Skoog, 1962 (link)) (pH = 6.2) containing 20 g L–1 sucrose (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, United States) and 0.4 mg L–1 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) (Sigma-Aldrich) at 25°C under a 16/8 h (day/night) photoperiod. Sixty-day-old plants were transferred into a hydroponic solution with sufficient N level for 5 days, which was changed for fresh solution every 2 days. The plants were then transferred to a solution with or without sufficient N as the control and treatment groups for 3 days as described previously (Ren et al., 2015 (link)). Briefly, plants were grown in modified half-strength mass spectrometry (MS) liquid medium (pH = 6.2) with 2 mM NH4NO3 (Sigma-Aldrich) and 1 mM KNO3 (Sigma-Aldrich) as sufficient N conditions (KK) (control) or with.01 mM NH4NO3 and 1 mM KCl (Sigma-Aldrich) instead of KNO3 for low-N treatment (DN). Whole P. tomentosa plants were harvested in the midmorning, immediately frozen in liquid N, and stored at −80°C.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The process of determination of arsenic speciation as described previously (Lin et al., 2014 (link)). Freeze-dried samples were extracted with 10 ml of 1% nitric acid (Merck, Germany) in a microwave-accelerated reaction system (CEM Microwave Technology, UK). This system was provided with a stably increasing temperature from 55 to 75°C within 10 min. Then the extracts were heated at 95°C for 30 min. Finally, the extracted solutions were centrifuged and passed through a nylon filter with a size of 0.22 μm. Arsenic speciation of cells was determined using the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Agilent 1200, Japan) coupled with inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) (Agilent 7500cx, USA) as described previously (Lin et al., 2014 (link)). The mobile phases consisted of 6.67 mM of NH4H2PO4 (Merck, Germany) and 6.67 mM of NH4NO3 (Merck, Germany) at pH 6.2. Arsenic speciation in the samples were identified by comparing their retention times to the standards including arsenite, arsenate, dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) (Chem Service, PA, USA) and monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) (Beijing Chemicals, China).

The mixture was then transferred to an autoclave equipped with a Teflon liner, in which it was crystallized at 145 °C for 120 h. Then the resulting mixture is washed thoroughly (until reaching neutral pH) with deionized water. After drying at 105 °C overnight, the powder was calcinated at 550 °C for 4 h. Finally, ion exchange with 2.0 M NH4NO3 solution was performed two times for 10 min at 85 °C to remove sodium from the zeolite structure, then it was washed and filtered, and after drying, it was calcined at 550 °C for 4 h.

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.
