The safest order for the combination of HNO3 and H2O2 is the addition of HNO3 to H2O2.)

Food
grade RSO was purchased
from a local grocery store and used without further purification.
RSO was selected as the model sample for this study as it is well-characterized
and produced in large volumes in the UK and Europe for biodiesel production.
In addition, two samples of WCOs from a pub and cafeteria, respectively
within Aston University, were obtained and used without further treatment.
The pub (using mixed rapeseed, sunflower, and palm oil) WCO sample
is designated as WCO-A, and the one from the cafeteria (using mostly
RSO) is WCO-B in this present study. Deionized water was produced
and used in-house from a Milli-Q Advantage A10 Water Purification
System. Oleic acid (model fatty acid compound) and glycerol, both
of which are products of hydrolysis of triglycerides, were purchased
from Fisher Scientific, Leicester, UK for characterization. Solvents
and reagents including dichloromethane (DCM) (+99%), anhydrous ethanol
(+99%), anhydrous methanol (+99%), sodium hydroxide pellets (+98%),
anhydrous sodium sulfate, sulfuric acid (+98%), petroleum ether, and

Implant Decontamination and Surface Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All the implant specimens were subjected to autoclave sterilization post-surgery. Upon receiving, the specimens underwent a general evaluation for assessment of implant conditions and gross features present on the surface. Initial observations were recorded per implant component. After this initial inspection, all the implants were cleaned using soap water and ethanol for removal of remaining debris. For the cleaning, all implants were first submerged in anhydrous ethanol (Fisher scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) for 48 h. Following submersion, the implants were rinsed with deionized water and set to dry. Two of the implants were subjected to additional cleaning because of the presence of accumulated biological matter adhered on their surfaces. This additional cleaning step was performed in an ultrasonic bath (Bransonic Series CPX3800H, Danbury, CT, USA) with the samples immersed for 1 h in neutral soap solution. The specimens were then dried by hand and were finally subjected to a final ultrasonic cleaning step in ethanol. The cleaning was effective in removing biological materials and loose particulate deposited on the surface, better revealing surface features resulting from any potential corrosive or mechanical processes.

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.
