Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TMA was analyzed separately from the other compounds, but with the same UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS method. Briefly, compound separation was achieved on a Waters Acquity UPLC system (Milford, MA, USA) with an ACQUITY BEH HILIC column (1.7 µm, 2.1 × 100 mm) coupled to an ACQUITY BEH HILIC pre-column (1.7 µm, 2.1 × 5 mm) (Waters). Mobile phases consisted of 15 mM ammonium formate in water (pH 3.5) (A) and acetonitrile (B). The gradient was set to isocratic at 80% B for 3 min, with a flow rate of 0.65 mL/min. Column temperature was set at 30 °C, and autosampler at 10 °C. Quantification was achieved by coupling the above system with a Waters Acquity triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Source and capillary temperatures were set at 150 and 400 °C, respectively. Capillary voltage was set at 0.60 kV, and desolvation and cone gas flow (both N2) were set at 800 and 20 L/h, respectively. Electrospray ionization (ESI) was operated in the positive mode, and data were acquired using the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Multi-reaction monitoring (MRM) fragmentation conditions of choline, L-carnitine, betaine, γ-butyrobetaine, TMAO and TMA, as well as IS compounds can be found in Table S1.

Using agilent UHPLC/6545 QTOF-DAD-MS/MS spectrometer to measure electron spray ionization (ESI) spectra. Column chromatography (CC) used C18 columns (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 1.8 μm, Agilent Technologies) and BEH HILIC column (2.1 × 50 mm, 1.7 μm, Waters). MS-grade methanol, acetonitrile, and formic acid were purchased from Merck (USA). Bacteria Biofilms were analyzed under an inverted fluorescence microscopy (LeiCa, DM 2000) and stained by thiazoyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT). Ampicillin sodium, cefoxitin, fluconazole, vancomycin, berberine chloride, 5-(4, 6-dichlorotriazinyl) aminofluorescein (5-DTAF), crystal violet, and MTT were got from Macklin Reagents (Shanghai, China). The standard compounds (purity ≥98 %) are purchased from Mai De Sheng (Cheng Du, China). Fresh pork purchased in Haoxiansheng Supermarket in KunMing.

Plasma concentrations of TXA were determined by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. 4-Aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid was used as the internal standard41 (link),42 with modifications. Specifically, plasma samples were prepared for analysis using protein precipitation with acetonitrile. Sample extracts were analyzed using normal phase chromatography with a Waters BEH HILIC column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.7 μm, Waters Corp.) followed by detection with a Waters Xevo TQ-XS mass spectrometer. The mobile phase was A (10 mmol/L ammonium formate in water/isopropanol/formic acid 50/50/0.1):B (10 mmol/L ammonium format in acetonitrile/water/formic acid 90/10/0.1) = 40:60 with 0.25 mL/min flow rate. The mass spectrometer used an electrospray ionization source and a positive ion multiple reaction monitoring mode. For quantification of TXA, mass-to-charge ratios were set to 158.2 > 95.2 for TXA and 144.2 > 109.1 for the internal standard, respectively. Measurements for samples containing over 25 μg/mL TXA were obtained after diluting the samples into control plasma. The lower limit for TXA quantification was 0.04 μg/mL. Intra-assay (within-day) precision (% coefficient of variation [% CV]) and accuracy (% bias) were 1.3% to 8.7% and 0.9% to 7.6%, respectively. Inter-assay (between-day) % CV and % bias were 0.7% to 6.7% and 1.2% to 15.2%, respectively.

UHPLC-Q-TOF Metabolite Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The metabolite extracts were run on an Agilent 1290 Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph (UHPLC)-coupled to an Agilent 6538 Quadrupole-Time of Flight (Q-TOF) mass analyzer (Agilent; Santa Clara, CA, USA). An autosampler was used to inject 5 µL of sample onto a BEH-HILIC column (Waters Inc., Millford, MA, USA) with a pressure limit of 600 bar. The mobile phase consisted of A (HPLC grade water with 0.1% formic acid) and B (Acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid) set to a flow rate of 0.400 mL/min. Gradient elution proceeded as follows: 100% B (initial), 55% B (15 to 18 min), 30% B (18 to 21 min), 100% B (21 to 25 min). The column temperature was held constant at 40 °C. Mass spectra were acquired in positive ionization mode.

Targeted quantitative analyses of adenosine and methylated adenosine were carried out on an Acquity UPLC system (Waters, Milford, MA, United States) coupled with a 4000 QTRAP mass spectrometer (AB SCIEX, Foster City, CA, United States). A Waters BEH HILIC column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.7 μm) was implemented for chromatographic separation at room temperature. Mass spectrometer was operated in electrospray ionization (ESI) positive ion mode, and data were acquired by using multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Data acquisition and processing were controlled by Analyst 1.6.3 software.

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.
