Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The untreated (control, reference), thermally treated and thermally–fungally attacked spruce wood samples were mechanically disintegrated and milled to a particle size of 200–300 μm, using a POLYMIX PX-MFC 90D laboratory mill (Kinematica, Luzern, Switzerland), and wood particles were dried (4 h at 105 ± 2 °C).
According to ASTM D1107-21 [35 ], the extractives content in wood particles was determined in a Soxhlet apparatus with a mixture of absolute ethanol for analysis (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) and toluene for analysis (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) (1.0/0.427 v/v). The extraction lasted 8 h with six siphoning’s per hour.
Determination of the contents of structural carbohydrates (arabinose, galactose, mannose, xylose, glucose) and lignin in wood particles was carried out using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) analytical procedure [36 ].
Each sample was chemically analyzed in duplicate, and the results are presented as oven-dried wood percentages.

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.
