Hydrodeoxygenation of Fatty Acids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The catalysts were tested in the HDO of palmitic acid (PA); Sigma Aldrich >99%; as a model compound of fatty acids. For each test, 0.1 g of the catalyst was used with 40 mL of a solution containing PA (39 mM) in n-dodecane (Sigma Aldrich, anhydrous > 99%). The catalysts were tested in a Parr reactor (100 mL) at 280 °C and 5.2 MPa of H2 pressure for 6 hours. The time evolution of the reaction was observed by withdrawing aliquots each hour and analyzing them on a gas chromatograph. Product identification was analyzed on a Hewlett Packard GC-MS instrument with a FID.

Phantom Validation for Diffusion Brain Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Validation of the acquisition and analysis pipeline was performed by measurements on three phantoms consisting of 15 mm Eppendorf tubes containing either a lyotropic liquid crystal, n‐dodecane (Sigma‐Aldrich, Israel), or tap water. The phantoms were designed to give diffusion properties similar to the main components of healthy living brains: the liquid crystal phantom captures anisotropic diffusion within WM, the dodecane phantom mimics slow isotropic diffusion in the GM, and the water phantom approximates the fast isotropic diffusion of CSF. The liquid crystal is given the nickname “hex” for its reverse hexagonal phase structure, and was prepared according to the protocol described in detail by Nilsson et al52 using 41.94 wt% H2O of Milli‐Q quality, 44.12 wt% of the detergent sodium 1,4‐bis(2‐ethylhexoxy)‐1,4‐dioxobutane‐2‐sulfonate (Sigma‐Aldrich, Sweden), and 13.94 wt% of the hydrocarbon 2,2,4‐trimethylpentane (Sigma‐Aldrich, Sweden).

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.
