NH-3, a thyroid hormone antagonist18 (link) was synthesized by AGV Discovery (France), absence of contamination by benzofurane was verified56 (link). All chemicals were dissolved at 10−1 M in DMSO, with the exception of HCB (10−1 M in acetone) and BDE 209 (10−2 M in DMSO). These solutions were aliquoted and stored at −20 °C until use. T3 was prepared in 30% NaOH, 70% milliQ Water at 10−2 M concentration, aliquoted and stored at −20 °C until use. The chemical mixture was prepared at 105-fold concentration by mixing appropriate volumes of stocks as described in Supplementary Table 1, aliquoted and stored at −20 °C.

Reagent-grade or pesticide-grade (α-Lindane, Hexachlorobenzene, Dimethoate, Heptachlor, aldrin, Heptachlor epoxide, chlordane, endosulfan I, profenofos, 4,4’-DDE (Dichloro-diphenyldichloroethylene), endosulfan II, 4,4’-DDD (Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane), 4,4’-DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) and Methoxychlor) chemicals used in all tests were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Germany). Standard solutions (stock, composite, calibration, and surrogate (analyte) were stored at < 6 °C in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-sealed containers in the dark. Anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), n-hexane, acetonitrile (CH3CN), ethyl acetate (C₄H₈O₂), glacial acetic acid (CH₃COOH), Bondesil-primary secondary amine (PSA, 40 μm) and sodium acetate (NaCH₃COO) were supplied from Sigma-Aldrich (Germany).

Determination of Organochlorine Pesticides

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The analytical standards of organochlorine pesticides hexachlorobenzene, aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), lindane, cis-chlordane, trans-chlordane, heptachlor, and mirex were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, USA), with a degree of purity of 99.9% (w/w). Stock standard solutions of each pesticide were prepared at the concentration of 500 mg L ¡1 in acetonitrile. From these solutions, an intermediate solution was prepared at 25 mg L ¡1 containing all compounds in the same solvent. Subsequently, this solution was diluted in acetonitrile to 4 mg L ¡1 to prepare the working solution. Ethyl acetate and acetonitrile high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) grade were purchased from Vetec (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and Merck (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), respectively. Sodium chloride purity of 99% (w/w) was also obtained from Vetec (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and anhydrous sodium sulphate from Dynamic (Diadema, Brazil). For the cleanup of the extracts the following sorbents were used: alumina (Micro Abrasives, Westfield, USA), florisil (Mallinckrodt Chemicals, St. Louis, USA), activated charcoal (Vetec, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), octadecil C18 (Fluka, Milwaukee, USA), primary secondary amine (PSA, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA), and silica gel 230-400 mesh (Carvalhaes, Germany).

Docosanoic acid ethyl ester 99% (CAS: 5908-87-2) was supplied by LGC Standards (Barcelona, Spain). Ethanol absolute (HPLC grade), methanol (LC-MS grade), acetic acid, dichloromethane, toluene, dimethyl sulfoxide, and isooctane (HPLC grade) were supplied by Scharlau (Setmenat, Spain). Hexane was from Fischer Chemicals (UK). Ultrapure water was generated by a Millipore Milli-Q system (Billerica, MA, USA). Commercial sunflower oil was used for the migration assays. The nitrogen evaporator was a TECHNE sample concentrator (Cole-Parmer Ltd., UK). The ultrasonic generator was a Branson 3510 (frequency applied 40 Hz).

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.
