Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Caecal SCFA gas chromatography analysis was performed at the Gnotobiotics, Microbiology and Metagenomics Center (Boston, Massachusetts) as described before (Giri et al., 2019 (link)). Briefly, the chromatographic analysis was carried out using an Agilent 7890B system with a flame ionization detector (FID, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). A high resolution gas chromatography capillary column 30 m × 0.25 mm coated with 0.25μm film thickness was used (DB-FFAP) for the volatile acids (Agilent Technologies). Nitrogen was used as the carrier gas. The oven temperature was 145 °C and the FID and injection port was set to 225 °C. The injected sample volume was 1 μl and the run time for each analysis was 12 min. Chromatograms and data integration was carried out using the OpenLabChemStation software (Agilent Technologies). A volatile acid mix containing 10 mM of acetic, propionic, isobutyric, butyric, isovaleric, valeric, isocaproic, caproic and heptanoic acids was used for standard solution (Supelco CRM46975, Bellefonte, PA). An internal standard control (stock solution containing 1% 2-methyl pentanoic acid, Sigma-Aldrich St. Louis, MO) was used for the volatile acid extractions.

Organic acids and alcohols were analyzed by using HPLC-RID: High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC-Agilent 1200 series, Santa Clara, CA, USA) coupled with a refractive index detector (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA), as described by Chiș et al. [17 (link)]. Shortly afterward, 1 g of each sample was extracted with 4 mL ultrapure water, mixed using a Heidoph Reax top vortex (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) for 1 min and sonicated for 30 min using an ultrasonic bath (Elma Schmidbauer, GmbH, Singen, Germany). An Eppendorf 5804 centrifuge (Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany) was used to centrifugate samples at 2300× g, for 10 min. Afterward, the supernatant was filtered through Chromafil Xtra PA-45/13 nylon filter and injected into the HPLC-RID system. A Polaris Hi-Plex H, 300 × 7.7. column (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) was used to separate the compounds having H2SO4 (5 mM) as a mobile phase, with a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. The column and RID temperatures were 70 °C and 35 °C, respectively; meanwhile, the compound elution time was 25 min.
OpenLab—ChemStation software (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) was used for data acquisition and result interpretation. The compounds identification was realized through comparison with the standard retention times; meanwhile, the quantification of the compounds was realized using calibration curves.

Quantification of Volatile SCFAs in Cecal Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Volatile SCFAs were quantified as described in [51 ]. Acidified internal standards with 100uL of either ethyl anhydrous or boron trifluoride-methanol was added to 100 μL of supernatant from homogenized cecal contents. Chromatographic analyses were carried out on an Agilent 7890B system with a flame ionization detector (FID). Chromatogram and data integration were done using the OpenLab ChemStation software (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). SCFAs were identified by comparing their specific retention times relative to the retention time in the standard mix. Concentrations were determined as mM of each SCFA per gram of sample for the raw cecal/fecal material. The Agilent platform cannot discriminate between isovalerate and 2-methylbutyrate, and so these are reported as a single peak value.

Measurements on the ZIC-pHILIC column were done on an Agilent 1290 UHPLC system (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) consisting of a quaternary pump, an autosampler, and a diode array detector with a flow cell of 1 μL. Measurements on the capillary monolithic columns were executed on an Ultimate 3000 RSLC nano system (Dionex, Amsterdam, the Netherlands), with a Binary Rapid Separation Nano Flow pump with nano flow selector, an autosampler, a four-port injection valve with a 20 nL internal loop (VICI, Houston, TX, USA) and a variable wavelength detector (VWD) with a 3 nL flow cell. Experiments were executed at room temperature (21.5 ± 0.5 °C), using an injection volume of 20 nL for the monolithic columns, and 1 μL for the ZIC-pHILIC column. The detection wavelength was set to 254 nm, and the data acquisition rate was 40 Hz for all experiments. Data acquisition and processing were done with Chromeleon software (version 6.8, Dionex) or OpenLab Chemstation software (edition C.01.07, Agilent Technologies).
pH values were measured using a Metrohm 691 pH meter (Antwerp, Belgium). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) experiments were performed using a TESCAN MIRA4 system (Brno, Czech Republic), using an energy between 5 and 15 keV. Magnifications were between 700× and 50.000×.

The molecular weight (Mw) of EPSwk was determined using chromatographic analyzes carried out in an Agilent™ 1260 Infinity II LC System chromatograph, equipped with Agilent™ 1290 Infinity II Evaporative Light Scattering Detector (ELSD), with N2 flow of 1.2 slm, an evaporator temperature of 70 °C and a nebulizer temperature of 50 °C. PL Aquagel-OH MIXED-M columns (part number: PL1149-6801, 4.6 × 250 mm, 8 µm) and Aquagel-OH 20 (part number: PL1120-6520, 300 × 7.5 mm, 5 µm) were used as the stationary phase, with a pre-column of PL Aquagel-OH (part number: PL1149−1240, 7.5 × 50 mm, 15 µm). Ammonium acetate solution (10 mmol L−1) was used as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.6 mL.min−1. The sample was prepared in ammonium acetate solution (10 mmol L−1) and filtered with a 0.22 μm syringe filter to ensure homogeneity. The system was calibrated with the standard pullulan kit of varying molecular weights (736 kDa P-800; 348 kDa P-400; 200 kDa P-200; 113 kDa P-100; 49 kDa P-50; 23 kDa P-20; 9.9 P-10 kDa; and 6.6 kDa P-5). All chromatograms were analyzed using OpenLab ChemStation software (Agilent™, Santa Clara, CA, USA).

Quantification of Cecal Short Chain Fatty Acids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Volatile short chain fatty acids from specifically-associated mice (n=6 mice/group across two experimental replicates) were quantified as described (Moore, 1993 ). In brief, acidified internal standards with 100 μL of ethyl ether anhydrous or boron trifluoride-methanol was added to 100μl of supernatant from homogenized cecal contents. Chromatographic analyses were carried out on an Agilent 7890B system with flame ionization detector (FID). Chromatogram and data integration were carried out using the OpenLab ChemStation software (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). SCFA in samples were identified by comparing their specific retention times relative to the retention time in the standard mix. Concentrations were determined and expressed as mM of each SCFA per gram of sample for the raw cecal/fecal material. The Agilent platform cannot discriminate the isomers isovalerate and 2-methylbutyrate and thus reports these compounds out as a single peak and interpolated value.

Approximately 35 mg of cecal content was weighed, snap-frozen and stored at −80°C until analysis. The samples were extracted with water and proteins precipitated with phosphotungstic acid. 2-Ethylbutyrate was added to supernatants at a ratio of 1: 4 as an internal standard. The SCFA content was determined from a 0.3 µL volume of supernatant by gas chromatography (Agilent 7890B gas chromatograph, Agilent Technologies, Les Ulis, France) equipped with a split-splitless injector, a flame-ionization detector and a fused silica capillary column (15 m × 0.53 mm × 0.5 µm; Supelco, Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, France). The carrier gas (H2) flow rate was 10 ml/min. The oven temperature was initially set at 100°C for 10 min, then increased from 100 to 180°C at a rate of 20 C/min and held for 2 min. The detector temperature was 240°C. Samples were analyzed in duplicate. The peaks obtained were integrated using OpenLAB Chemstation software (Agilent Technologies, Les Ulis, France).

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.
