Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Jejunal citrulline was quantified via liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) using Biocrates AbsoluteIDQ p180 kit (BIOCRATES, Life Science AG, Innsbruck, Austria). The LC-MS/MS platform consisted of a Shimadzu Prominence UFLC XR high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) (Shimadzu, Columbia, MD) coupled to an AB Sciex QTRAP® 5500 hybrid tandem quadrupole/linear ion trap mass spectrometer (AB Sciex, Framingham, MA). The AbsoluteIDQ p180 kit was designed for simultaneous detection and quantification of metabolites from a variety of biological matrices in a high-throughput manner and referred to as high-throughput, targeted metabolomics. The AbsoluteIDQ p180 kit was prepared as described by the manufacturer. Briefly, the kit preparation involved metabolite extraction from the tissue samples by homogenizing in 85:15 (methanol:ethanol, v/v) with 5 mM PBS followed by introduction of stable-label isotope internal standards, amino acid derivatization with 5 % phenylisothiocyanate, and extraction of the metabolites with 5 mM ammonium acetate in methanol on filter inserts of a 96-well plate. Data was analyzed using the MetIQ software (Biocrates, Inc.). Although all metabolites from the AbsoluteIDQ p180 kit were analyzed for, only the citrulline values are presented in this report.

HPLC Separation of Retinoic Acid Isomers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two different gradients were developed to resolve RA and its isomers. A shorter gradient (gradient 1) was mainly used for cultured cells or subcellular fractions and a longer gradient (gradient 2) was used primarily for plasma and tissue samples. Both gradients were performed using a Shimadzu Prominence UFLC XR high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) (Shimadzu, Columbia, MD). All separations were performed using an Ascentis Express RP-Amide guard cartridge column (Supelco, 50 × 2.1 mm, 2.7 μm) coupled to an Ascentis Express RP-Amide analytical column (Supelco, 100 × 2.1 mm, 2.7 μm). Mobile phase A consisted of 0.1% formic acid in water, and mobile phase B consisted of 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile. Refer to the Supporting Information for a description of gradients and LC operating parameters.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Liquid chromatography was carried out on a Poroshell 120 EC-C18 column (100 × 2.1 mm, 2.7 μm, Agilent) equipped with a guard column (5 × 2.1 mm, 2.7 μm, using the same stationary phase). An Ultra-Fast Liquid Chromatography system (Prominence UFLC-XR, Shimadzu) was employed for this purpose. Gradients of water (A) and acetonitrile (95%, B), both containing 0.2% acetic acid, were utilized at a flow rate of 0.2 mL min−1. The injection volume was 5 μL, and the column temperature was maintained at 25 °C. MS/MS analyses were conducted using a 4000 QTRAP (AB Sciex) in positive ion mode, employing multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) acquisition. UV detection at 220 nm, 233 nm, 263 nm and in the range of 220–360 nm was performed with a diode array detector (Prominence, SPD-M20A, Shimadzu). In total, two LC–MS/MS methods and one LC–UV–MS/MS method, as described in Chomérat [45 (link)], were employed to detect palytoxin, 42-OH-palytoxin, 12 ovatoxins (OVTX-a to -k), 3 ostreocins (OST-A, -B, -D and -E1), 3 mascarenotoxins (McTX-A to -C) and ostreotoxins-1 and -3. Quantification was carried out relative to a Palytoxin standard (Wako Chemicals GmbH, Germany) using a 6-point calibration curve.

Separation of Sudan Dyes by LC-DAD-MS/MS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LC was performed using a Prominence UFLC XR (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). Isocratic elution was used to separate the Sudan dyes (I–IV) with an Agilent Eclipse 5 μm XDB-C18 (4.6 mm × 150 mm) column at 40°C and a flow rate of 0.8 ml min−1 for 30 min. For LC separation with DAD detection, a 150 mm column along with a flow rate of at least 0.5 ml min−1 is needed for good separation between the natural colours and Sudan dyes. For analysis using MS/MS without the DAD detector in series, a shorter column with a smaller particle size and lower flow rate would reduce solvent and the run time and maximise sample throughput. The mobile phase was 95/5 v/v methanol: water buffered with 5 mM ammonium formate and 0.1% formic acid with an injection volume of 5 μl. A 5-mincolumn wash was added at the end of each run using 98/2 v/v isopropanol:water solution buffered with 2 mM ammonium formate and 0.03% formic acid followed by a 5-minequilibration with mobile phase solvents. Additionally, during DAD analysis, a wash of 100% isopropanol was added at the end of each sample set to remove the buffered mobile phase from the DAD detector. The LC conditions (flow rate, column selection) were optimised for use with a DAD and MS/MS detector in series on the same instrument in order to develop a method that could be easily transferred among instruments with different detectors for testing adulterated samples.

Quantitative Analysis of Atrazine and Metabolites

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Atrazine and its main metabolites (deethylatrazine, DEA, and deisopropylatrazine, DIA)
were determined in soil and plant samples by HPLC, analysing the extracts obtained by a shaking-centrifuging extraction procedure (Amadori et al., 2013) . A sample of 2.0 g of soil or plant tissues (previously chopped, crushed and blended) was put in a glass flask;
3 mL of acetonitrile (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) were added and the mixture was shaken for 30 min and centrifuged for 15 min. This procedure was sequentially executed three times and the respective supernatant phases were combined. 0.45 µm nylon syringe filters were used to filtrate the resulting extracts before the HPLC determination. A Shimadzu Prominence UFLC XR (Japan) chromatograph equipped with a C18 reversephase column (240 mm x 4 mm) and a diode array detector was used to separate ATR, DEA and DIA. The details of the analytical method used here have been previously
reported (Sánchez et al., 2018) (link). ATR, DEA and DIA standard solutions were prepared from the corresponding solid reagents (Sigma-Aldrich, USA).

Lipidomic Analysis by LC-MS/MS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The LC-MS/MS analysis was performed using a Prominence UFLC-XR (Shimadzu, Columbia, MD) followed by a quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer (AB Sciex 5600, Sciex, Framingham, MA). The analysis of PL (PC and SM) was done by injecting 5 µL of each extracted sample onto a BEH C18 column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 µM; Waters, Milford, MA). The mobile phase comprised solvent A (60% acetonitrile with 40% water, 10 mM ammonium formate, 0.1% formic acid) and solvent B (90% isopropanol, 10% acetonitrile, 10 mM ammonium acetate, 0.1% formic acid). A gradient dilution was used for 20 min as follows: 40% B was held for 0:01 min:s, increased to 43% B at 2:00 min:s, increased to 50% B at 2:10 min:s, increased to 54% B at 12:00 min:s, increased to 70% B at 12:10 min:s, increased to 99% B at 18:00 min:s, held at 99% B up to 20 min, and decreased to 40% B at 20:10 min:s with a flow rate of 0.225 mL/min. The analysis for PC and SM was performed in positive mode. The positive ion electrospray ionization mass spectra were obtained over a mass range of 100 to 1,200 mass: charge ratio (m/z) in an information-dependent acquisition mode with one 100-ms survey scan and up to twenty 100-ms MS/MS product ion scans per duty cycle. Three determinations were done for each replicate.

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.
