'''Materials:'''
*sodium sulfite (stored in chemical cabinets)
*top-loading balance (2 decimal places)
*spatula
*alpha-amylase (stored in refrigerator)
*5 mL pipet
*neutral detergent solution (stored in room 113B)
*2000 mL flask
*acetone (in flammables cabinet below fume hood in room 113B)
*digestion apparatus (ANKOM fiber analyzer)
*analytical balance
*drying oven at 105oC
*dessicator
*zip-loc bags with dessicant pouches (recently recharged at 105oC)
*3 glass jars
*microwave
*hazardous waste container


'''Procedure'''


Close valve on ANKOM fiber analyzer.


Load filter bags into bag suspender, starting with bottom tray.  Place three bags per tray and stack trays on center post with each level rotated 120 degrees.  Insert bag suspender into fiber analyzer.


Weigh out 20 g sodium sulfite and add to fiber analyzer.
'''Interested in posting a protocol on OpenWetWare?  Here is a template to help you do so.''' 


Measure out approximately 2 L neutral detergent solution into flask (this may need to be done 2 x 1 L, due to foam).  Add 4 mL alpha-amylase to solution.  Pour mixture into fiber analyzer.  Place weight on bag suspender, turn on agitation and check liquid level.
