The concentration of the sample from the FDC experiment was analysed by RP-HPLC. The diode array detector (DAD) was set at 232 nm. A spectrophotometer (SHIMADZU UV mini 1240) was used to determine the specific wavelength when the light absorbance was at the maximum. A gradient method was adopted with eluent A: 0.1 % TFA in water and B: 0.08 % TFA in acetonitrile, with a mobile phase ratio of A: B, 95:05 to 20:80. The sample size of each injection was 10 μL. The temperature was set to 24 °C. The flow rate was set to 1 ml/min. A complete RP-HPLC run took approximately 20 min with a down time of 2 min between each run. An external standard approach was used for the standardisation for the analysis of the component sample BSA. External standard samples were prepared using pure chemicals of BSA purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and dissolved in deionised water, purified by Millipore Milli-Q Plus 185. Standards of concentration ranging 10–100 μg/ml BSA were prepared and analysed by HPLC to obtain the absorbance.

Quantifying Sucralose in Water Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Sucralose concentrations were determined in duplicate samples representing controls and nominal concentrations of 5, 50, 500 and 5000 µgL−1; for logistical reasons, only 50% of all treatment samples and controls were analysed (Table S1 in File S1), which was considered acceptable given the low between-replicate variability in the analyzed samples. Sucralose (purity 98%) and Sucralose-d6 (surrogate standard, isotopic purity >98%) were purchased from Toronto Research Chemicals Inc. (North York, Canada). Ammonium hydroxide 25% (puriss) was purchased from Fluka (Buchs, Switzerland). Methanol (LichroSolve) was purchased from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany). Water was of milli-Q grade from a milli-Q ultrapure water system, MilliQ PLUS 185 from Millipore (Stockholm, Sweden). Sucralose was extracted from the water samples by solid phase extraction [2] . Briefly, surrogate standard was added to 5 mL of water sample and Sucralose was enriched on an Oasis HLB 60 mg 3 cc cartridge (Waters corp.). After elution with 2 mL methanol and change of solvent, the concentrations of Sucralose were determined by electrospray LC/MS/MS.

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.
