Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Amaranthus hybridus plants of the GRH and GSH populations were treated with 14C-glyphosate [glycine-2-14C] (specific activity 273.8 MBq mmol−1, American Radiolabeled Chemicals, Inc., Saint Louis, MO, USA) + commercial glyphosate. The final glyphosate concentration corresponded to 300 g ae ha−1 in 200 L ha−1 with a specific activity of 0.834 kBq µL−1. GRH and GSH plants at the 4-leaf growth stage were treated with a 1-µL drop (0.834 KBq plant−1) placed with a micropipette (LabMate) on the adaxial surface of the second leaf. The plants were handled according to Alcántara-de la Cruz et al. [13 (link)] at 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h after treatment (HAT) (five plants per population at a time were evaluated in a completely random design). Samples (section of divided plants), once stored into cellulose cones and dried at 60 °C, were combusted in a biological oxidizer (TriCarb 307, Packard Instrument Co., Downers Grove, IL, USA). The 14CO2 released by combustion was trapped and mixed with 18 mL of Carbo-Sorb® E and Permaf1uor® (Perkin-Elmer, Groningen, Netherlands) (1:1 v/v). Radioactivity of 14C was quantified by liquid scintillation spectrometry in a scintillation counter (Beckman LS-6500, Beckman Coulter Inc., Fullerton, CA, USA). Radioactive data was used to calculate the percentages of 14C recovered, absorbed and translocated.

Oleic Acid Metabolism in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ICR male mice at 20 weeks of age were divided into two groups on the basis of body weight in the morning after 16‐h fast and then orally administered with or without SKL‐14959 (100 mg kg−1 body weight) prepared with 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose solution 15 min prior to oral administration of [14C]‐oleic acid (18.5 MBq g−1). The mice were immediately released into an occlusive metabolic cage Metabolica from Yamagen Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan) after the challenge and then euthanized under ether anaesthesia at 60 and 120 min. Blood samples were collected from the inferior vena cava, and epididymal adipose tissue, soleus muscles and liver were removed and weighed. Sections of all samples including blood were oxidized using a combustion system (ASC‐113, Aloka), and the radioactivity in the absorbent (Carbo‐Sorb E, PerkinElmer), which absorbed yields of 14C‐carbon dioxide, was measured using a liquid scintillation counter (LS6000TA, Beckman). Those data were expressed as a concentration of each whole tissue.

Quantifying Plant and Soil Carbon

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dry plant and soil material was ground and 14C in samples quantified by liquid scintillation counting (LSC) of 14CO2 produced by dry combustion (Packard 307 sample oxidizer; 6 ml Carbosorb E mixed with 12 ml Permafluor E, Perkin Elmer).
Soil microbial C was determined by chloroform fumigation‐extraction (Vance, Brookes, & Jenkinson, 1987), with some modifications (Supporting Information). For L. alpina, 14C in microbial extracts was below the detection limit, most likely because of the lower amount of 14C applied during pulse‐labelling.

Radioactivity Assessment of Solid and Liquid Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total radioactivity of the samples was assessed using a liquid scintillation counter (Tri-Carb 2800TR, Perkin Elmer). Sample aliquots were mixed with scintillation cocktail prior to the measurements as described above. For analysis of the radioactivity accumulated in the solids, the biomass fractions of the samples were combusted for 1.5 min in a 307 Perkin Elmer Sample Oxidizer. The resulting 14 CO 2 was absorbed by Carbo-Sorb® E (Perkin Elmer) and LSC cocktail (Permafluor® E+, Perkin Elmer) was added. The radioactivity was then assessed by liquid scintillation counting. Radioactive supernatant samples were analyzed using a HPLC 1200 Series (Agilent Technologies) including a diode array detector (DAD) coupled to a subsequent liquid scintillation counter (Ramona Star, Raytest). The DAD signal was recorded at 285 nm (4 nm bandwidth), which is close to the maximum of an absorption peak between 250 and 300 nm in the absorption spectra of both SMX and SDZ. 41, 42 An identical column and gradient program and identical eluent mixtures and injection volumes for chromatographic separation as described for the LC-HRMS/MS measurements above were used.

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.
