Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AAnalyst 400 (PerkinElmer) FAAS with acetylene and air flow rates of 3.46 and 9.56 L min -1 was used as the detector. A chromium hollow cathode lamp operating at 10 mA with the wavelength set at 357.9 nm was used as the light source. The flow-injection system, FIAS 400 (PerkinElmer), was coupled to FAAS.
This system was controlled by Winlab32 TM (Ver. 6.5.0.0266) software, which was installed in a personal computer. The infrared spectra were recorded on a PerkinElmer FT-IR spectrometer Model Spectrum RX-1 (resolution 4 cm -1 , range 400 -4000 cm -1 ). All pH adjustments were done on a pH meter Model LI-614 (ELICO Ltd., India).

Puree samples were digested with nitric (HNO 3 ) and perchloric (HClO 4 ) acids at a ratio of 2:1 (HNO 3 : HClO 4 ). K, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu were measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer, AAnalyst400, Singapore). Phosphorus (P), boron (B), and sulfur (S) were determined using spectrophotometry (Benton et al., 1991) . The results were reported as mg or µg/100 g FW.

The dried plant parts were dissolved in nitric acid (HNO 3 ) and heated until the organic matter was completely dissolved. The dissolved sample solution was then filtered through filter paper and the Zn 2+ concentration was measured using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAna-lyst400; PerkinElmer Japan Co., Ltd., Japan) following standard procedures.
Experimental design and statistical analysis Six cladodes were used for each treatment and four cladodes per treatment were used for sample measurement. Differences between treatments were analyzed using analysis of variance and differences between the means were determined using Tukey's test with a significance level of Pϭ0.05.

Diets and excreta were analyzed for DM (method 4.1.06; by drying and estimating weight loss), crude protein (method 4.2.03; by Kjeldahl method after acid hydrolysis), ether extract (method 4.8.01; after extraction with petroleum ether by Soxhlet method), and ash (method 4.8.03; by igniting at 550 °C for 3 h in a muffle furnace) contents using the Association of Official Analytical Chemist (AOAC) procedures [12 ]. The Ca content in diet was measured using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer according to the methods suggested by the manufacturer (AAnalyst 400, PerkinElmer, Shelton, CT, USA). The P content in diet was estimated using a colorimetric procedure [13 (link)].

Proximate and Mineral Analyses of Aloe Gels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Proximate and mineral elemental analyses of extracted gel from A. schweinfurthii were carried out in comparison to those of A. vera gel. The proximate compositions of the two gels, namely: the crude protein, crude fiber, crude fat, crude carbohydrate (nitrogen-free extract), ash, and moisture contents were determined according to the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) methods. 10 The crude protein content of each gel was determined by the micro-Kjeldahl method 10, 11 (link) as described by Pearson, 12 while the crude fiber content was determined using the Fibretec hot extraction method. 10, 13 The AOAC methods used for the moisture and ash contents determination were as described by Nguyen 14 while the determination of fat content was carried out using Soxhlet extraction method with petroleum ether (boiling range 40-60°C). The crude carbohydrate was determined by the Difference Method (i.e. 100minus [% Protein + % Fat + % moisture + % ash+% fiber]). All the proximate determinations were carried out in triplicates and the results reported in average percentage values. 10 The mineral elements in the gels were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (Perkin Elmer Aanalyst 400, Shelton, USA) for iron, magnesium, calcium, manganese, and copper, while Flame Emission Photometry was used for sodium and potassium. 15

Flame AAS Magnesium Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The magnesium content was determined in the sample via flame atomic absorption spectrometry (F-AAS) on an AAnalyst 400 (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA). Before the F-AAS analysis, the sample was treated by diluting and adding ionic buffers Cs and La so that their final concentration in the solution was 2000 mg/L. Quantitative evaluation of the analytes was performed with a method of external calibration. Calibration for Mg was in the range 0–2 mg/L. A Seronorm WB L-2 whole blood sample was used as a control. The limit of detection for Mg was 0.2 µg/g tissue.

Sodium Uptake Capacity of Carnivorous Traps

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The sodium uptake capacity of traps was determined by feeding traps with insect powder containing defined amounts of the respective cation. Five traps per plant were fed with 20 mg insect powder, dissolved in 100 μl water. The insect powder was derived from adult moths of Vanessa cardui (Lep.: Nymphalidae) and had an approximate Na+ content of 5 mM. At the given time points after feeding, traps were harvested, the remaining insect material was removed, and the plant tissue was thoroughly dried. The ground plant powder was then hydrolyzed with HNO3 in a pressure ashing device (Seif). Traps diluted with H2O were analyzed by ICP-OES (JY 70 Plus, Devision d’Instruments S.A., Jobin Yvon), and petioles of fed traps were analyzed by flame atom absorption spectrometer (F-AAS) (AAnalyst 400, PerkinElmer).

Digested samples were brought into the laboratory of Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR) for the analysis of As concentration in lentil root, shoot, -grains, soil, and vermi-compost. The concentration of As in root, shoot, grains of lentil plants, soil, vermi-compost and water samples were analyzed by flow injection hydride generation atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FI-HG-AAS, Perkin Elmer A Analyst 400, USA) using external calibration [31 ]. The optimum HCl concentration was 10% v/v and 0.4% NaBH4 produced the maximum sensitivity. Three replicates taken from each digested samples and the mean values obtained based on the calculation of those three replicates. Standard Reference Materials (SRM) from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), USA analyzed in the same procedure at the start, during and at the end of the measurements to ensure continued accuracy.

The total amount of Zn in adipose tissues was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (spectrometer AAnalyst 400 Perkin Elmer) after dry ashing at 450 °C. Approximately 0.3 g of epididymal adipose tissue was combusted with gradual increase of temperature (50 °C/h). The obtained ash was treated with 5 ml of hydrochloric acid (6 M), and then, the acid solution was evaporated to dryness. The obtained residue was dissolved in 5 ml of nitric acid (0.1 M) and used for zinc determination at 213.9 nm. All analyses were done in triplicate. The accuracy and precision of the used method was assured by simultaneous analysis of certified reference material M-3 HerTis (Herring Tissue).

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.
