Mosquito Conditioning with Semiochemicals

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Semiochemicals, p-cresol and skatole (Sigma-Aldrich), were each dissolved in 70% ethanol to create a stock solution (1 mg/mlethanol) and then diluted at 100 µg/l in 400 ml water for larvae and pupae conditioning. The high concentration allows for constant exposure of the aquatic stages of the mosquitoes during the rearing time.

Quantification of Volatile Organic Compounds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For DMS and DMDS, a mixed standard gas (10.4 ppm DMS and 9.9 ppm DMDS, Research Institute of Gas Analytical Science, South Korea) was used for the quantification. For other compounds, the calibrations were accomplished through the use of the headspace method for Henry’s constants (Chai et al., 2005 ). All of the reagents were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA): acetic acid (99.7%), propanoic acid (99.5%), bButyric acid (99%), isobutyric acid (99%), valeric acid (99%), isovaleric acid (99%), indole (99%), skatole (98%) and p-cresol (99%). The stocking solutions of volatile organic acids were diluted with triple-distilled water, while the stocking solutions of the Indolics and p-cresol were diluted with methanol (99.9%, Sigma-Aldrich, USA). The stocking solutions were diluted progressively with triple-distilled water and analyzed with a relative headspace method for Henry’s constants (Chai et al., 2005 ). The detection thresholds, molecular weights and retention times of the target odorous compounds are shown in Table 2. Recovery of these VOCs in Tedlar bags was greater than 85% under similar experimental conditions.

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.
