SiNPs were synthesized by tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), ammonium hydroxide, ethanol, and deionized water according to the methods previously reported.35 ,36 At first, 3 mL of ammonium hydroxide (30%, J.T. Baker, Center Valley, Pennsylvania, USA) was added to deionized water and 50 mL of ethanol (EtOH, 99.8%; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri, USA) to make an ammonium–water–EtOH solution, and the solution was stirred vigorously for 5 minutes after admixture. Then, 1.5 mL of TEOS (Sigma Aldrich) was added dropwise to the ammonium–water–EtOH solution with stirring for 1 hour, giving a milky white suspension. This mixture was stood for 17 hours to coarsen the SiNPs. The solidified SiNPs were collected after centrifugation and ethanol washing.

Reduced and oxidized glutathione were profiled in negative ionization mode by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methods as described previously38 (link). Data were acquired using an ACQUITY UPLC (Waters Corp, Milford MA) coupled to a 5500 QTRAP triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (AB SCIEX, Framingham MA). Tissue homogenates (30 μL) were extracted using 120 μL of 80% methanol containing 0.05 ng/μL inosine-15N4, 0.05 ng/μL thymine-d4, and 0.1 ng/μL glycocholate-d4 as internal standards (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc., Tewksbury MA). The samples were centrifuged (10 min, 9,000 × g, 4ºC) and the supernatants (10 μL) were injected directly onto a 150 × 2.0 mm Luna NH2 column (Phenomenex, Torrance CA). The column was eluted at a flow rate of 400 μL/min with initial conditions of 10% mobile phase A (20 mM ammonium acetate and 20 mM ammonium hydroxide (Sigma-Aldrich) in water (VWR)) and 90% mobile phase B (10 mM ammonium hydroxide in 75:25 v/v acetonitrile/methanol (VWR)) followed by a 10 min linear gradient to 100% mobile phase A. The ion spray voltage was −4.5 kV and the source temperature was 500°C. Raw data were processed using MultiQuant 2.1 software (AB SCIEX, Framingham MA) for automated peak integration. LC-MS data were processed and visually inspected using TraceFinder 3.1 software (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Waltham, MA).

Optimized In-line IMER-CZE-MS/MS Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Analytical grade reagents were used. Porcine pancreas trypsin (Type IX-S, lyophilized powder, Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) was used as a proteolytic enzyme. For in-solution digestions, trypsin was freshly prepared in double-deionized water; for IMER digestions, the enzyme was dissolved in acetic acid (pH = 4) solution. N-α-benzoyl-l-arginine ethyl ester hydrochloride (BAEE) substrate was used to examine the parameters affecting IMER efficiency. Human serum albumin (HSA) (Sigma) and human tears were digested to test the reliability of the in-line IMER in a CZE-MS/MS setup. BAEE, urea, dithiothreitol (DTT), iodoacetamide (IAM), NH4HCO3, and NH4Ac stock solutions (all Sigma products) were prepared in double-deionized water (Elix-3, Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). HCl, NaOH, ammonium hydroxide, acetic acid (HAc) solutions, isopropanol, methanol, and acetonitrile were purchased from VWR (Radnor, PA, USA).

The compound (MFA,
99%) and its impurities (copper(II) acetate (98%), CBA (98%), 2–3-dimethyl-N-phenylaniline (99%), and benzoic acid (99.5%)) were sourced
from Sigma-Aldrich. The crystallization solvents used included ethyl
acetate (99%, Alfa Aesar) and diglyme (99%, Alpha Aesar), whereas
the wash solvents used were n-heptane (99%, Alfa
Aesar) and cyclohexane (99%, Alpha Aesar).
The HPLC mobile phase
was prepared with water (HPLC grade, VWR), ammonium phosphate (98%,
Sigma-Aldrich), and ammonium hydroxide with a concentration of 3M,
acetonitrile (HPLC grade, VWR), and tetrahydrofuran (99.9%, Sigma-Aldrich).
MFA, 2,3-dimethyl-N-phenylaniline, benzoic acid,
and CBA cause serious eye damage/irritation. MFA, 2,3-dimethyl-N-phenylaniline, and CBA can cause skin irritation.
Diglyme, n-heptane, ethyl acetate, and cyclohexane
are flammable solvents. Ethyl acetate causes serious eye damage/irritation. n-heptane and cyclohexane can cause skin irritation. Diglyme
can cause damage to an unborn child and organ damage. Ethyl acetate, n-heptane, and cyclohexane can cause drowsiness/dizziness.
cyclohexane is toxic if swallowed. n-heptane and
cyclohexane are very toxic to aquatic life.

Synthesis of Magnesium Stearate Powder

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pure magnesium stearate powder was prepared by dispersing 0.2 mol stearic acid (99%, Sigma–Aldrich) in deionized water (1200 ml, Milli-Q) heated to 363 K. Ammonium hydroxide (28%, VWR) was added dropwise very slowly with rigorous stirring until the solution reached a pH of 10, generating a fatty acid soap. Magnesium stearate was precipitated by adding 0.1 mol of MgCl2·6H2O (99%, Sigma–Aldrich). Finally, the product was isolated by vacuum filtration and suspended for 24 h in acetone and then for 24 h in de­ionized water. Vacuum filtration and drying of the suspended powder, resulted in a fluffy white powder. The yield was not precisely measured as it was not expected to influence the findings.

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.
