Aluminum foil

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

Sourced in United States, Germany

Aluminum foil is a thin, flexible sheet of aluminum metal typically used for various purposes in a laboratory setting. It serves as a versatile material that can be used to cover, wrap, or line surfaces as needed.

5 protocols using aluminum foil

Protein Content Determination by Dumas Combustion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Protein content was determined by an automatic elemental analyzer (Rapid N exceed, Elementar Analysensysteme GmbH, Hanau, Germany), the factor of 5.83 was used to convert measured nitrogen into protein according to Dumas combustion method [36 ]. About 20 mg samples were separately prepared in aluminum foil (50 × 50 mm, Alfa Aesar, Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and covered tightly for analysis. Ash and moisture were examined by AOAC methods [32 ].

Butterfly Wing Reflectance Spectroscopy

Reflectance spectra were measured from a 250 µm 2 region of the surface of intact wing sections, and thus represent the combined reflectance of cover scales, underlying ground scales, and wing membrane (Stavenga et al., 2014) (link). Reflectance measurements were taken using a custom-built microspectrophotometer (20/20PV, CRAIC Technologies, Inc., San Dimas, CA, United States) equipped with a 5× UV-vis objective (LMU-5X-NUV, Thorlabs, Inc., Newton, NJ, United States). Samples were illuminated with a xenon arc lamp (XBO 75 W/2, OSRAM GmbH, Munich, Germany), with the light path oriented normal to the wing surface and coaxial with the axis of light collection. Reflectance spectra were calculated in relation to a high-reflectivity specular reflectance standard (STAN-SSH-NIST, Ocean Optics, Inc., Dunedin, FL, United States). For each scale type, individual spectra were the average of 25 spectra measured consecutively (integration time: 200-350 ms, total measurement time per average spectra: 5-8.75 s). In order to provide a familiar point of comparison, measurements were also taken on the polished and dull side of aluminum foil (0.018 mm, Fisherbrand), and resulted in spectra consistent with other studies (Vukusic et al., 2008; Pozzobon et al., 2020) (link).

Aluminum foil (99.99%) was obtained from Alfa Aesar (Karlsruhe, Germany). Perchloric acid (70%), ethyl alcohol anhydrous (99.9%), oxalic acid (99.5%), chromium oxide (Ⅳ) (99%), phosphoric acid (99.5%), and acetone (99.5%) were purchased from Daejung Chemicals (Siheung, Korea). The fluorine hydrophobic demolding reagent, UV-curing polyurethane acrylate resins, and additives were synthesized by referring to the recent report [30 (link)].

Aluminum Foil Annulus Structure

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

We used 0.25 mm aluminum foil (Alfa Aesar, Ward Hill, MA) made into a concentric annulus structure, as shown in Figure 1b. To ensure the two layers of Al foil could fit into the 1.8 ml cryovial (Fisher), the height of the aluminum foil hollow cylinder was made to be 13 mm. For the outer Al foil layer, the outer diameter was 9 mm, and we built the inner layer annulus structures with different diameters to ensure the arteries of different thicknesses could fit in the space between the two layers.

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.
