Dl metanephrine hcl

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Dl-metanephrine-HCl is a chemical compound used as a reference standard in analytical procedures. It is a hydrochloride salt of dl-metanephrine, which is a metabolite of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. This compound is typically used in laboratory settings for the identification and quantification of metanephrine in biological samples, such as urine or plasma, using analytical techniques like chromatography or mass spectrometry.

were from Merck Millipore (Darmstadt, Germany). Ammonium hydroxide
solution (28–30%), propionic anhydride, K2EDTA dihydrate, l-DOPA, dopamine-HCl, norepinephrine, epinephrine, 3-methoxytyramine, dl-metanephrine-HCl, dl-normetanephrine-HCl, and l-DOPA-d3, all of analytical purity,
were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (MI, USA). Stable deuterated isotopes
for dopamine-d4-HCl, norepinephrine-d6-HCl, and epinephrine-d3 were from CDN Isotopes (Pointe-Claire, Canada), 3-methoxytyramine-d4-HCl and dl-metanephrine-d3-HCl from Cambridge Isotopes (MA, USA), and dl-normetanephrine-d3-HCl from Medical

Plasma concentrations of free MNs and catecholamines were determined using high-pressure liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with online solid-phase extraction, essentially as described by de Jong et al. [7] and van de Merbel et al. [8] . Dopamine-HCl, norepinephrine, epinephrine, 3-methoxytyramine, DL-metanephrine-HCl, DL-normetanephrine-HCl and L-DOPA-d3, all of analytical purity, were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (MI, USA). Stable deuterated isotopes for dopamine-d4-HCl, norepinephrine-d6-HCl and epinephrine-d3 were purchased from CDN Isotopes (Pointe-Claire, Canada), 3-methoxytyramine-d4-HCl and DL-metanephrine-d3-HCl from Cambridge Isotopes (MA, USA) and DL-normetanephrine-d3-HCl from Medical Isotopes (NH, USA). All samples were determined in one assay run. Intra-assay coefficients of variability for both plasma concentrations of free MNs and catecholamines were <5%. To show the accuracy of the method, samples from the quality assurance program (QAP) for plasma-free MNs of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA) were analyzed. From Survey 2019, six samples were analyzed. They revealed excellent agreement with target values reported by the RCPAQAP. Errors ranged from -8.3 to 4% for 3-MT, from -12 to 3.7% for NMN and from -6.6 to 6.5% for MN.

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.
