Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Standard melanin (synthetic) and 5,5′-dithio-bis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, USA. Keratin powder, bovine serum albumin, sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, ferric chloride, sodium hypochlorite, and potassium hydroxide were obtained from Himedia, India. Solvents, such as ethanol, methanol, chloroform, acetone, benzene, and phenol were procured from Sisco Research Laboratory (SRL), India. All the chemicals and reagents used were of the highest purity and analytical grade. Black feathers of slaughtered domestic fowl (Gallusgallus domesticus) collected from central chicken market, Kolhapur, India were washed, dried, and stored for further studies. Whereas, goat (Capra hircus-Osmanabadi breed) skin was obtained from the local meat market in Kolhapur, India.

Teff straw was collected from Debre Zeyit, Oromia Region, Ethiopia, as the raw material for total reducing sugar production. All chemicals and reagents used throughout this study were of analytical reagent (AR) grade and maximum purity from HiMedia and Ranchem, India. The reagents were obtained from Atomic Educational Materials Supply PLC. Sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and methylene blue indicator (purity 98%, 37%, and 100%, respectively) were obtained from Blulux Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. In addition, potassium hydroxide (98.08% pure, HiMedia Laboratories Pvt. Ltd.) was required to determine the total reducing sugar by Fehling solution method. Sodium hydroxide (98.08% pure, HiMedia Laboratories Pvt. Ltd.) was employed for determination of hemicellulose content of Teff straw, whereas sulfuric acid, H2SO4 (LOBA Chemie, purity 98%), was used to determine the lignin content.

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.
