Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The authentic standards of limonin and nomilin were purchased from Sigma Co. Ltd (St Louis, MO, USA). Three grams of powder of juice sacs were extracted for limonin and nomilin analysis as demonstrated by Li et al. [15 (link)]. A Soxhlet extractor (IKA-Werke GmbH and Co. KG, Staufen, German) was employed for 15 cycles of Soxhlet extraction, then the filtered solution was collected and dried by using Eppendorf 5301 concentrator (Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany) at 30 °C. The dried extracts were added with 1 mL acetonitrile before HPLC analysis. 20 μL samples were determined by using the same HPLC system but separated with a C18 HPLC column (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm; Agilent, Wilmington, DE, USA).

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.
