Elemental Analysis of Oat Grains

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The concentrations of the elements Al, B, Ba, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S, Sr, and Zn were determined by using a PerkinElmer Optima 3300 DV Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP–OES) (PerkinElmer Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). This device is an echelle-grating-based ICP instrument, capable of determining the concentrations of multiple elements simultaneously.
The grain samples were ground, and then they were prepared by wet acid digestion. The digestion included two stages: predigestion and digestion. An amount of 1 g of oat grains was measured into a digestion tube, and 10 mL nitric acid (HNO3, 69% v/v) (VWR International Ltd., Radnor, PA, USA) was added to the sample. After 12 h digestion, the samples were heated to 60 °C for 30 min in a LABOR MIM OE-718/A block digestion apparatus. Following the predigestion, after cooling for a few minutes, 3 cm3 of hydrogen-peroxide (H2O2, 30% v/v) (VWR International Ltd., Radnor, USA) was added to the samples. In the main digestion phase, the temperature was raised to 120 °C for 90 min. After digestion and cooling of the samples, the volume of the digested liquid was increased to 50 cm3 using ultrapore water (Milli Q two-level water purification system, Millipore S.A.S, Molsheim, France), and then filtered using Filtrak 388 filter paper, and then analysed by ICP-OES [53 (link)].

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.
