Zero grade air

Manufactured by Airgas

Zero grade air is a high-purity compressed gas used in laboratory applications. It is a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen, free of contaminants and impurities. Zero grade air meets stringent purity specifications to ensure consistent and reliable performance in sensitive analytical instruments and processes.

Arabidopsis Seed Sterilization and Growth

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Arabidopsis seeds were surface-sterilized in 50% bleach with 0.01% Triton X-100 for 15 min and washed five times with sterile, doubly distilled H2O before plating on MS medium (4.3 g MS salt, 10 g sucrose, pH 5.7, 8 g phyto agar per liter). After 3-4 days of cold (4 °C) treatment, the plates were wrapped in foil and kept in at 24 °C in an incubator before the phenotypes of seedlings were analyzed. For propagation, seedlings were transferred from plates to soil (Pro-mix-HP) and grown to maturity at 22 °C under 16-h light/8-h dark cycles. Ethylene treatment of Arabidopsis seedlings was performed by growth of seedlings on MS plates in air-tight containers in the dark supplied with either a flow of hydrocarbon-free air (Zero grade air, AirGas) or hydrocarbon-free air with 10 ppm (ppm) ethylene as previously described [28 (link)].

1-Butene (5.4 mol% in N2) and a GC calibration standard of 1-butene, cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene, 1,3-butadiene, and n-butane (1 mol% each in N2) were purchased from Matheson Trigas. A GC calibration standard for CH4, C2H4, C2H6, C3H6, C3H8, and 1-butene was purchased from Praxair. N2, CO2, and zero-grade air were purchased from Airgas. 1-Butanol (99%) and hydrated nitrate salts of Cr, K, Ca, Ni, Fe, Cu, and Ce were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, as was the oxalate salt of Mo. The γ-Al2O3 catalyst support was from Sasol (Puralox Nwa-155). Inert quartz chips (nominally 30–50 mesh) were from Dupré Minerals.

Arabidopsis Ethylene Response Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Arabidopsis seeds were surface-sterilized in 50% bleach with 0.01% Triton X-100 for 15 min and washed five times with sterile, doubly distilled H2O before plating on MS medium (4.3 g MS salt, 10 g sucrose, pH 5.7, 8 g phytoagar per liter) with or without addition of 10 μM 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC, Sigma), the biosynthetic precursor to ethylene. After 3–4 days of cold (4 °C) treatment, the plates were wrapped in foil and kept in at 24 °C in an incubator before the phenotypes of seedlings were analyzed. For propagation, seedlings were transferred from plates to soil (Pro-mix-HP) and grown to maturity at 22 °C under 16-h light/8-h dark cycles. Ethylene treatment of Arabidopsis seedlings was performed by growth of seedlings on MS plates in air-tight containers in the dark supplied with either a flow of hydrocarbon-free air (Zero grade air, AirGas) or 4 h hydrocarbon-free air with 10 p.p.m.) ethylene as previously described12 (link). For hypocotyl length measurements, 3-day-old seedlings were scanned using an Epson Perfection V700 Photo scanner, and hypocotyls were measured using NIH Image (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/nih-image/).

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.
