About the product

Dichloromethane, also known as methylene chloride, is a colorless, volatile organic compound. It is a widely used solvent in various laboratory and industrial applications due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds. Dichloromethane has a low boiling point and is commonly used for extraction, cleaning, and degreasing purposes in laboratory settings.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PLLA (molecular weight = 160 kDa) and PDLLA (molecular weight = 150 kDa) nanofiber scaffolds were prepared as follows. PLLA and PDLLA were dissolved in a mixture of dichloromethane (Amresco, California, USA) and N,N-dimethylformamide (Amresco, California, USA) at a ratio of 7:3, achieving a concentration of 8%–10%. The mixture was heated to 37°C for 3–4 h in a water bath until materials were completely dissolved. Next, using a 10 mL syringe connected to an injection pump (WZ-50C2, China) set to 18 kV (DWP503–1AC, China), electrospinning was conducted at 40 μL/min for approximately 4 h at room temperature (Zhang et al., 2024 (link)).

Volatile Organic Compound Extraction from Wood and Fungus

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We extracted the volatile organic substances from a fresh wood sample and a fruit body of P. pouzarii from the same log (TA19); both were not dried and kept at -18 °C prior to extraction. Corresponding samples were dried to determine the moisture content and to calculate the dry matter content. Both sample types were cut into small pieces (< 3 mm), weighed (1.7 g wood sample, 0.3 g fruit body sample) and transferred into reaction tubes. The extraction solvent dichloromethane (VWR Chemicals, Delaware, USA) for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or acetone (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) for high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)) was added at the ratio of 1:3.25 and 1:6.5, respectively. Samples were mechanically stirred for 6 h and then subjected to an ultrasonic treatment for 30 min (Sonorex, Bandelin, Berlin, Germany). Subsequently, reaction tubes were centrifuged (8,000 rpm, 20 min) and liquid extracts removed. For details and a full list of authentic standards, please compare supplement S1.

Experimental Materials: Outdoor pond‐cultivated C. reevesii (OP) and greenhouse‐cultivated C. reevesii (GH), both sourced from Jiangxi Jinguiwang Industrial Co. Ltd. All C. reevesii used in the experiment were female and 4 years old. The culture conditions of OP before the experiment were as follows: outdoor ponds, a culture density of 8/m2, feeding twice a day, and 2% of body weight. Before the experiment, GH was reared in an indoor greenhouse at a constant temperature of 26°C ± 2°C, with a culture density of 8/m2, feeding three times a day and 2% of body weight. The average weight of the OP was 716.66 ± 45.6 g, while the GH averaged 658.75 ± 38.85 g. C. reevesii was transported to the laboratory at the Yangtze River Fisheries Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences and placed in cultivation tanks measuring 2 × 1 × 0.3 m with a water depth of 3 cm. The stocking density is about 8/m2. The water was changed daily, and no food was provided as the C. reevesii underwent a temporary rearing experiment (water temperature maintained at 25°C ± 2°C). Samples were taken on days 0 (control), 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 of temporary rearing. Four C. reevesii from OP and GH was sampled each time. The skin was removed, and the limb muscles were harvested, immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen for 3 min, and then thoroughly ground into a powder using a grinder. The resulting frozen C. reevesii meat powder was stored at −80°C for subsequent volatile compound analysis.

Rapid Identification of Plant-Based Oils

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Five plant-based oil types were analyzed in this study: avocado, canola, olive, peanut, and sesame. At a minimum, five different samples were used to represent each oil type, with details provided in SI Table S1. Oil samples were sourced locally from laboratory personnel and local grocery stores. Aliquots were taken from the retail container and stored in 40-mL amber borosilicate TraceClean® vials purchased from VWR. All samples were stored in a fridge at temperatures 5–9 °C. For DART-TOFMS analysis of source oils, aliquots were transferred to 10-mL or 20-mL clear, heat-treated borosilicate vials for ease of testing.
During preliminary testing, there was minimal sample preparation. For DART-TOFMS sampling, closed-end borosilicate capillary tubes from Fisher Scientific (Ottawa, Canada) were submerged in source oil sample aliquots for approximately 1 s. Excess oil was removed from the capillary tube using the lip of the borosilicate vial before being presented at the sampling gap. This was repeated a minimum of 5 times per sample. Data for these samples was used to prepare models for future application to blind quality assurance and weathered oil sample identification.
To evaluate the statistical model’s ability to type-match oils, six blind plant-based oil samples (within the stated categories) were prepared by a second analyst and supplied for quality assurance assessment. The unknown oils were stored under the same refrigeration conditions as the reference samples prior to analysis. Following statistical modeling creation, the acceptability of the procedure using hydrophobic paper sample collection, as intended for use in environmental spill situations, was evaluated using the procedures described in the following sections.
OmniSolv grade acetone and dichloromethane (DCM) used for rinsing glassware were purchased from VWR (Mississauga, Canada). Filtered seawater was obtained via an underground pump located at the Pacific and Environmental Science Center (PESC) and sourced from the Burrard Inlet (British Columbia, Canada).
