Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Analysis of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) in bacteria and worms was performed as previously described with minor modifications [17] (link). For bacteria, 3 mL of an overnight culture was centrifuged and the bacterial pellet collected. For worms, 50 gravid adults were picked into S-basal, washed in 3 volumes of S-basal, and snap frozen in a 10 µL volume. To generate FAMEs, samples were re-suspended in 1 mL methanol containing 2.5% H2SO4 in glass tubes and incubated in a water bath at 80°C for 1 h. After addition of 1.5 mL water and 200 µL hexane, the samples were vortexed twice for 1 min and the hexane layer transferred to a glass vial until analysis.
1 µL FAMEs in hexane were analyzed using an Agilent 7890A GC 240 MS ion trap system operating in split mode (split ratio 10∶1) with a VF-5ms capillary column (30 m×0.25 mm i.d., 5% phenyl-95% methyl polysiloxine, 0.25 µm film thickness; Varian, Inc., Walnut Creek, CA). The GC conditions were: injector 240°C, initial column temperature 120°C for 0.1 min, temperature ramp 15°C per min to 190°C, 2°C ramp to 220°C, 20°C per min to 250°C, 7 min hold, with a flow rate of 1.1 mL/min. FAMEs were analyzed in EI mode and data were collected using Agilent MS workstation software system control version 7.0.0.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A Pyroprobe 5000 pyrolyzer (CDS analytical, Oxford, PA, USA) was used to pyrolyze the different h-BN samples under helium. This pyrolyzer used an electrically heated platinum filament. The samples (<1 mg) were introduced in a quartz tube between two pieces of rockwool and were pyrolyzed using a coil probe. The samples were heated at 600 °C for 15 s, and the gases were then drawn by the GC for 5 min. The pyrolyzer was interfaced to a 450-GC chromatograph (Varian) by means of a transfer line heated at 270 °C. In the GC apparatus, the initial temperature of 70 °C was raised to 310 °C at 10 °C/min. The column used was a Varian VF-5ms capillary column (Paris, France) (30 m × 0.25 mm; thickness of ¼ 0.25 μm). Helium was used as the carrier gas (1 l/min), and a split ratio of 1:50 was chosen for the analyses. The gases were introduced from the GC to the 240-MS mass spectrometer (Varian, Paris, France) through the direct-coupled capillary column.

GC-MS analyses were performed using a Varian system GC/MS Saturn 2100 equipped with a VF-5MS capillary column (30 m × 0.25 mm i.d., 0.25 ​μm). The spectrometer operated in electron-impact mode with ionization energy of 70 eV, the scan range was 40–400 amu, the scan interval was 0.5 sec, and the scan speed was 1000 amu sec−1. The injector and MS transfer line temperatures were set at 250 and 280 °C, respectively. Pure helium was used as the carrier gas at a flow rate of 1 mL min−1. The GC programmer used was 60 °C (5 min) to 180 °C (5 min) at a rate of 8 °C min−1 and to 280 °C (10 min) at 6 °C min−1. Two μL of the diluted samples (n-hexane) were injected in split mode 1:10. Identification of components was achieved by using the stored mass spectra libraries NIST and Wiley and literature data and by comparing their retention indices with published data. The relative quantity of the chemical compounds present in each sample was expressed as the percentage based on their peak area in the chromatogram. The percentage values are the mean ± SD (Standard Deviation) of three injections of the sample.

All samples were first defrosted and then extracted by adding 500 µl of dichloromethane as a solvent to the vials containing the microcapillary and the preen oil. After briefly vortexing each sample, we transferred 100 µl of the solution (preen oil and dichloromethane) into a glass vial (2 ml, Rotilabo®) containing a 100 µl glass inset, using a blunt point glass syringe (which was washed with dichloromethane between each sample). For chemical analyses, we performed GC-MS, using a gas-chromatograph (GC-2030, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) equipped with a VF-5ms capillary column (30 m × 0.25 mm ID, DF 0.25, 10 m guard column, Varian Inc., Lake Forest, CA, USA) and helium (at a 1 ml/min flow rate) as a carrier gas, coupled to a mass spectrometer (GCMS-QP2020NX, Shimadzu) in split (1/10) mode. The settings for the gas chromatography were as follows; injection temperature: 310 °C, starting temperature: 150 °C, followed by an increase in temperature of 20 °C per min until reaching 280 °C, followed an increase of 5 °C per minute until reaching the end temperature of 310 °C, which was kept for 20 min. For the mass spectrometry, ion source temperature was set at 230 °C and interface temperature at 310 °C. Seven GC blank samples (containing dichloromethane only) were analysed among the preen oil samples.
