Sensitive Quantification of EOAs in Biological Matrices

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A significant number of EOAs are present in pg/mL to ng/mL concentrations in biological matrices. Therefore, we compared the sensitivity of the LC-QTOF/MS method to that of LC-MS/MS, the current gold standard for quantitative analysis of most environmental chemicals. Specifically, we spiked known concentration ranges (0.001 – 100 ng/mL) of bisphenol A-d16, bisphenol A, methyl paraben, monobutyl phthalate, perfluorooctanoic acid, and 4-amino-2-nitrophenol into double charcoal stripped, drug-free serum and injected these samples into the LC-QTOF/MS. We assessed signals obtained for each of the six compounds and we established the LOD of each compound as the lowest concentration of the compound that has a signal-to-noise ratio of ≥ 3. We then compared these LODs to those obtained using the AB Sciex Triple Quadrupole 5500, one of the most sensitive LC-MS/MS platforms at the time we conducted this analysis.

Urinary Cotinine and NNAL Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) system comprising a 1100 HPLC system (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and API 4000 (AB Sciex, Redwood City, CA, USA) was used to measure the urinary cotinine levels. An HPLC-MS/MS system comprising a 1200 HPLC system (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and a Triple Quadrupole 5500 (AB Sciex, Redwood City, CA, USA) was used to measure urinary NNAL concentrations. The limits of detection (LoD) of urinary cotinine and NNAL were 0.2740 µg/L and 0.1006 ng/L, respectively.

Anthropometric, Biomarker, and Toxicant Measurements

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Well-trained staff followed standard procedures to obtain anthropometric measurements. Trained staff measured the participants’ weight and height to the nearest 0.1 kg and 0.1 cm, respectively, while wearing light clothing but no shoes. Body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) was calculated as weight (kg) divided by squared height (m2). Blood pressure was obtained using a standard mercury sphygmomanometer with participants in a seated position and measured by a specialized investigator. Participants' blood samples were obtained from the antecubital vein in the morning after an overnight fast. Serum cholesterol and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels were measured enzymatically using a Hitachi Automatic Analyzer 7600-210 (Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan). Urine NNAL concentrations were measured by the HPLC-MS/MS method using an Agilent 1200 Series and Triple Quadrupole 5500 (AB Sciex, Framingham, MA, USA).

Vitamin D and Calcium Metabolites Measurement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Serum 25-OH vitamin D2 + D3 was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry on mass spectrometers API3000™ or API5500™ (Applied Biosystems, Lincoln, OR, USA). An amount of 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3 was measured using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry and detected by Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry. The 5500 Triple Quadrupole or 6500 QTRAP (AB Sciex, Framingham, MA, USA) were used for these analyses. Serum ionized calcium was measured by a potentiometric method on a Nova CRT 8 electrolyte analyzer (Diamond Diagnostics Inc., Holliston, MA, USA). Plasma PTH was measured by an immunometric assay and plasma phosphate by absorption photometry, both on a Cobas® 6000 (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN, USA).

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.
