Larval Olfactory Preference Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Groups of 20 staged mid-3rd instar larvae (96 h ± 4 h AEL) were placed in the middle of a 2% agar plate containing a container with 10 µl n-amylacetate (AM, diluted 1:50 in mineral oil; SAFC) or 3-Octanol (3-Oct, Sigma) on one side and a blank on the other side. For rescue experiments, assays were performed either in the dark or using light conditions (525 nm, 130 μW/cm²) during the preference behavior. Assays were video-captured for 5 min under infrared light illumination to monitor larval distribution with a digital camera (Basler ace-2040 gm, Basler, Switzerland). After 5 min, the number of larvae on each side was determined and the odor preference was calculated as (n(larvae) on odor side – n(larvae) on blank side)/total n(larvae).

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.
