Liquid Ethyl Formate Vaporization for Fumigation

Liquid ethyl formate (EF, purity: 97%) was purchased from Sigma Aldrich Co. (St. Louis, MO, USA). For efficacy trials, liquid EF was applied on a filter paper (90 mm dia., Whatman, Inc., Buckinghamshire, UK) for vaporization. For the scaled up (1.0 m³) trials, the liquid EF was vaporized using a prototype EF vaporizer (Safefume Inc., Daegu, Republic of Korea) and EF gas was propelled into the fumigation chamber using nitrogen gas from a cylinder [39 (link)].

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.
