Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The bioactive extract, previously identified as the delipidated aqueous phase, was obtained as previously described [13 (link)]. Briefly, total biomass obtained from a 500 mL culture in BHI was submitted twice to fractionation with 200 mL n-hexane (Tedia, Fairfield, OH, USA). The hexane solution was then removed under vacuum, and the remaining aqueous residue was extracted twice (200 mL) using the following solvents in this order: dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and butanol (Tedia, USA). The organic fractions were evaporated and tested for antibiofilm activities. The delipidated aqueous phase was filtered (Millipore 0.22 μm), tested, and named as the aqueous extract.

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.
