General description

EMPLURA® is our low-cost alternative to high-purity qualities. With EMPLURA we offer a range of solvents for a plurality of basic applications in non-regulated industries and for less demanding applications, preparative laboratory work and cleaning purposes. EMPLURA solvents provide adequate specifications with the most important parameters.

Application


  • Use of a habituation-dishabituation test to determine canine olfactory sensitivity.: This study by Moser et al. examines the use of a habituation-dishabituation test to measure olfactory sensitivity in dogs. The research explores the detection threshold of various odorants, including n-Amyl acetate, highlighting its application in behavioral studies involving canines (Moser et al., 2022).

  • Enhancement of olfaction by femtomolar concentrations of zinc ions.: Ishimaru investigates the effects of zinc ions on olfactory sensitivity, showing significant enhancement even at femtomolar concentrations. The study uses n-Amyl acetate as a reference odorant to demonstrate improved olfactory function (Ishimaru, 2022).

  • Generalization and discrimination tasks yield concordant measures of perceived distance between odours and their binary mixtures in larval Drosophila.: Chen and Gerber study the perception of odor mixtures in larval Drosophila, using n-Amyl acetate to assess generalization and discrimination tasks, which reflect the perceived distance between odors (Chen & Gerber, 2014).

  • SML resist processing for high-aspect-ratio and high-sensitivity electron beam lithography.: Mohammad et al. present advancements in SML resist processing, using n-Amyl acetate in the fabrication process for high-aspect-ratio and high-sensitivity applications in electron beam lithography (Mohammad et al., 2013).
