Quantitative Peptidomics via EF-LESA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Leucine enkephalin,
angiotensin II,
and N-acetylarginine were purchased from Fisher Scientific
U.K. Ltd. (Loughborough, U.K.). Individual stock solutions (LE, 180 pmol/μL; AT, 956 pmol/μL;

mixture A, consisting of pure water). Compounds were chosen because
they were soluble in H2O and provide a good ESI response.
Solutions used in experiments and for construction of the calibration
graphs were prepared at the desired concentration by serial dilution
in water from the stock solution with further dilution, after surface
sampling, with 50:50 water (with 0.1% formic acid):methanol solution
(solvent mixture B). A solvent mixture of water with 0.1% formic acid
was used as the EF-LESA probe mixture (solvent mixture C). HPLC-grade
methanol and water were purchased from Fisher Scientific U.K. Ltd.,
and formic acid was supplied by Sigma Aldrich Ltd. (Gillingham, Dorset,
U.K.).

A mixed stock solution was prepared by combining aliquots of each toxin to give a final concentration of 327 μg/L. For external calibration, a seven point calibration curve was prepared by serial dilution with methanol/water (1:1, v/v) in the range of 0.33–327 μg/L for each toxin and stored at – 18 °C. A quality control reference material (RM-BGA, National Research Council, Halifax, Canada) was prepared, with toxins extracted in the supernatant after 28 mL of methanol/water (1:1, v/v) + 0.1% acetic acid were added to RM-BGA (280 mg) and subsequent centrifugation (4500  × g; 10 min).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An Agilent 1100 high performance liquid chromatography system, including a programmable solvent delivery pump, autosampler, and diode-array UV detector, was used for determination of emodin. Detection was set at 437 nm for emodin (6-methyl-1,3,8trihydroxyanthraquinone) analysis. Emodin separation was carried out using a Kinetex 5 um XBC18 100A 250 × 4.6mm column (Phenomenex, Torrance, CA). HPLC-grade methanol and water were used as reagents (Fisher Scientific). Isocratic separation was performed with a methanol/water (70:30, v/v) mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. A stock emodin standard of 100 μg/mL was used to develop a seven-point calibration curve following serial dilution with methanol. Rhubarb extract was prepared in methanol at 100 mg/L. Each sample or standard was then sonicated for 30 minutes prior to triplicate injection via HPLC. A 30 μL aliquot of all samples or standards were injected directly into the HPLC system for quantitation. Emodin was identified in unknown samples by retention time matching between standards and unknowns, and the data was expressed in μg/mL.

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.
