Arginine (Arg), aspartate (Asp), citrulline (Cit), glutamate (Glu), histamine (Hist), and taurine (Tau) were obtained from Sigma Aldrich (St Louis, MO). Standards of each amine were prepared at 2 mM concentrations in 18.2 MΩ /cm deionized water (Millipore, Billerica, MA). Subsequent dilutions of each stock solution were made prior to analysis. Naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde (NDA) (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) was prepared in acetonitrile (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA) to a concentration of 5 mM. Sodium cyanide (NaCN) (Sigma Aldrich) was dissolved in water to a final concentration of 10 mM. Stock solutions of both NDA and NaCN were made weekly and stored at 4°C, protected from light exposure. Stock solutions of sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBEC) (Life Technologies, Grand Island NY) were made on a weekly basis to a concentration of 10 mM in deionized water and stored at 4°C. Finally, the background electrolyte (BGE) consisted of 1.4 mM SBEC, 10% by volume HPLC-grade dimethylsulfoxide (Fisher Scientific), and sodium tetraborate (Sigma Aldrich) at a final concentration of 15 mM. Finally, the pH of the BGE was measured using a pH meter and adjusted to 9.2 with 1 M sodium hydroxide (Fisher Scientific).

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.
