Chromatography was conducted using an Agilent 1100 binary pump and autosampler (Santa Clara, CA) with injection of 10 μL of the processed samples/calibration standards onto a Phenomenex Luna C8 (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μM) column (Torrance, CA). Mobile phase A consisted of 0.5% formic acid in water with 5 mM ammonium acetate, and mobile phase B consisted of 0.5% formic acid in 85:15 CH3CN:H2O with 5 mM ammonium acetate. Chromatography was conducted using a linear gradient starting at initial conditions of 5% B and holding for 1 min before increasing linearly to 95% B over 4 min before returning to initial conditions over 0.1 min. Total run time was 8 min, and flow rate was 0.750 mL/min. Quantitation was achieved by multiple reaction monitoring in positive ion mode using an Applied Biosystems Sciex API4000 (Foster City, CA) mass spectrometer with an electrospray ionization source. Compound 12 was quantitated by monitoring the transition of m/z 360.231 → 148.2, and the internal standard, buspirone, was monitored by m/z 386.243 → 122.1. MS parameters were as follows: CUR = 16, GS1 = 50, GS2 = 40, TEM = 650, CAD = 12, and IS = 2000. Calibration curves were processed using Analyst 1.6.2 software by plotting the analyte to internal standard peak area ratio against the calibration standard concentrations.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sphingolipids were analyzed by LC/ESI-MS/MS based on the method described with some modifications as described below [62 (link)]. Lipids were extracted from cell pellets (equivalent to 600 μg to 1 mg of protein depending on the experiment) using an azeotrophic mix of isopropanol:water:ethyl acetate (3:1:6; v:v:v). Internal standards (50 pmol of d17 long-chain bases and C12 acylated sphingolipids) were added to samples at the onset of the extraction procedure. Extracts were separated on an Agilent 1100 HPLC system. Mobile phases were as described [62 (link)], but with 0.2% formic acid on a Phenomenex Luna C8 (3 μm) 2.1 mm ID × 5 cm column maintained at 60°C for separation of the sphingoid bases and 1-phosphates or a Supelco 2.1 mm ID x 5 cm NH2 column for acylated sphingolipids. The eluate was analyzed with an inline ABI 4000 Q Trap (SCIEX, Framingham, MA) mass spectrometer equipped with a turbo ion spray source. Mass spectrometry settings were set to compensate for differences in ionization efficiency of different acyl chain lengths. The peak areas for the different sphingolipid subspecies were compared with that of the internal standards with 13C isotopic signals compensated for where necessary. All data reported are based on monoisotopic mass and are represented as pmol/mg protein.

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.
