C18 spin tips

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

C18 spin tips are a type of solid-phase extraction (SPE) device used for the purification and concentration of analytes from liquid samples. These tips contain a reversed-phase C18 sorbent material that selectively retains nonpolar compounds, allowing for the removal of interfering matrix components. C18 spin tips are commonly used in sample preparation workflows prior to analytical techniques such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

Bound proteins were eluted by tryptic digest: beads were resuspended in 200 mL of 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate, pH 8, with 2 mg of trypsin (Pierce), and incubated overnight at room temperature with end-over-end rotation. The digested supernatant was recovered, and beads were washed once with an additional 200 mL of 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate. The two eluates were pooled and dried by Speed-vac. Samples were desalted with C18 tip (Pierce C18 Spin Tips, Thermo Scientific cat. no. 84850) following the manufacturers’ protocol and dried by Speed-vac. Samples were then resuspended in 26 mL of 1% (vol/vol) formic acid, and centrifuged at 13,200 RPM for 20 minutes. 22 mL was loaded into a 96 well plate, two 10 mL injections were made for each sample.

Immunoprecipitation for RIME was carried out as described for ChIP-Seq. However, based on Mohammed et al, after washing the beads and prior to eluting, beads with antibody-bound proteins were washed twice with 50 mM NH4HCO3 and resuspended in 50 μl 50 mM NH4HCO3 containing 10 ng/μl trypsin/Lys-C (Promega) followed by overnight incubation at 37 °C with vigorous shaking in thermomixer (Eppendorf)37 (link). After digestion, beads were pelleted and supernatants containing peptides were transferred to new tubes. After mixing with 5 μl 20% heptafluorobutyric acid, peptides were desalted using C18 spin tips according to manufacturer protocol (Thermo Scientific). Desalted and dried peptides were reconstituted in 12 μl 0.1% formic acid. Peptides concentration was measured spectrophotometrically at 205 nm using NanoDrop One (Thermo Scientific). Peptides were analyzed as described above.

Small samples (100 μg) of crude proteins prepared from each tissue sample were condensed with 5 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) for 1 h at 65 ℃, and then alkylated with 11 mM iodoacetamide (IA) for 30 min at room temperature in darkness. The protein sample was then diluted by adding 100 mM triethylammonium bicarbonate (TEAB) to urea concentration less than 2 M. Finally, freshly prepared trypsin (Trypsin Gold, Mass Spectrometry Grade, Promega) was added at a 1:50 w/w trypsin/protein ratio for the overnight protein digestion at 37 ℃.
The tryptic peptides resulting from trypsin digestion were vacuum concentrated and re-suspended in 0.5 M TEAB and processed for labeling using the TMT Mass Tagging Kits and Reagents according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). Briefly, one unit of TMT reagent (Catalog number: 90060) was thawed and reconstituted in anhydrous acetonitrile. The peptide mixtures were then incubated for 2 h at room temperature, pooled, desalted using C18 spin tips (Thermo Fisher Scientific), speed-vacuum dried, and stored at -80 ℃ prior to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We selected 12 unidentified bone samples (>1 cm in size) for zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry (ZooMS) analysis. We tested the protocol designed by Van Doorn et al. (2011 ) and used a warm (65 °C) ammonium bicarbonate buffer (50 mm) to leach bone collagen without acid digestion. Then, trypsin digestion was carried out for 18 h at 37 °C using 0.5 μL of sequencing‐grade trypsin (Sigma). Enzymatic digestion was ended using 5 μL of 5% formic acid (FA), then the tryptic digests were purified and concentrated using C18 SpinTips (Thermo Scientific). Peptide elution was performed with 15 μL of 50% acetonitrile (ACN)/0.1% FA (v/v). Samples were dried overnight under a class 100 laminar flow hood. After re‐suspension, each sample (1 μL) was spotted on a target steel plate, and mixed with 1 μL α‐cyano‐4‐hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA; Sigma) as matrix. The samples were then analysed in duplicate with MALDI‐ToF (Bruker) over a mass‐to‐charge range of 700–3500 m/z. Spectra were manually inspected and averaged using mMass (Strohalm et al., 2010 (link)), after setting a signal‐to‐noise ratio equal to 4. Taxonomic identification was performed comparing identified peptides with a database of peptide markers for all European, Pleistocene medium to large size mammals (Welker et al., 2016 (link)).

Protein identification by Nano-LC ESI Orbitrap MS/MS was performed at the VetCore Facility for Research (Veterinary University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria). According to the sample type suitable sample preparation protocols were applied: Solved pre-purified proteins were digested directly using a standard protocol for in-solution digestion (Kumar et al., 2016 (link)) followed by peptide clean-up with C18 spin tips according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Thermo Scientific). If proteins had been separated by SDS-PAGE or 2D-PAGE, a standard in-gel sample preparation protocol was used (Gutiérrez et al., 2019 (link)). More complex protein samples were prepared with a filter-aided sample preparation protocol (FASP) (Kumar et al., 2015 (link)). Resulting dried peptides of all sample preparation methods were subsequently analysed by Nano-LC ESI Orbitrap MS/MS as described previously (Gutiérrez et al., 2019 (link)).

Streptavidin beads were washed twice with 1 mL 50 mM NH4HCO3 to exchange the buffer. Washed beads were then resuspended in 50 μl 50 mM NH4HCO3 containing 20 ng/μl trypsin/Lys-C (Promega) followed by overnight incubation at 37 °C with vigorous mixing in a thermoshaker (Eppendorf). After incubation beads were pelleted and supernatants were transferred to new tubes. Samples were acidified by adding 5 μl 20% heptafluorobutyric acid, incubated at room temperature for 5 min and clarified by 5-min centrifugation at 16000 g. Peptides from clarified samples were desalted using C18 spin tips (Thermo Scientific) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Desalted peptides were dried under vacuum and redissolved in 0.1% formic acid prior to LC–MS analysis. Peptide concentration was measured at 205 nm on Nanodrop One (Thermo Scientific).

Bacterial pellets collected from 1.5-ml mid-log cultures were resuspended in 90ul of extraction buffer (100 mM ammonium bicarbonate, 10 mM DTT, 2% SDS) and incubated at 95°C for 5 min with vigorous vortexing every 1 min. After cooling at room temperature for 10 min, 10 μl 0.5 M iodoacetamide (freshly dissolved in water) was added and samples were incubated at room temperature in the dark for 30 min. To remove SDS and iodoacetamide, proteins were precipitated with 5 vol of acetone at −20C for 1 hour. Acetone pellets collected by 10-min centrifugation at 16000xg were rinsed with 80% acetone, dried in air and dissolved in 20 μl of denaturing buffer (50 mM ammonium bicarbonate, 8 M urea). For digestion, 5 μl from each sample were mixed with 45μl 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate containing 20 ng/μl trypsin/LysC mixture (Promega) and incubated at 25°C for 18 hours. Digestion reactions were quenched by mixing with 5 μl 20% trifluoroacetic acid. Peptides from quenched reactions were desalted using C18 spin tips (ThermoFisher Scientific) according to manufacturer instructions. Desalted peptides were dried under vacuum and re-dissolved in 10 μl 0.1% formic acid prior to a LC-MS run.

Cell lysate was centrifuged at 1,000 × g at 4°C; the supernatant was saved as the cytosolic fraction, and the pellet was subjected to a single purification step via a sucrose cushion of 0.25 M and 0.88 M sucrose. The protein concentrations were determined using the Bradford protein assay (Bio‐Rad) and the samples were diluted to 2 mg/ml concentration; 50 μl of each sample was mixed with equal volume of trifluoroethanol, then 15 mM DTT was added and incubated at 55°C for 45 min. Next, the samples were alkylated with 55 mM iodoacetamide (IAA) for 30 min at room temperature in the dark.

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.
