Deuterium oxide 2h2o

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United Kingdom

Deuterium oxide (2H2O) is a stable isotope of water, where the hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium. It is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless liquid. Deuterium oxide is used as a tracer compound and in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

150 μL
of each thawed SF sample was diluted to a final volume containing
50% (v/v) SF, 40% (v/v) dd 1H2O (18.2 MΩ),
100 mM PO43– pH 7.4 buffer (Na2HPO4, VWR International Ltd., Radnor, Pennsylvania, USA
and NaH2PO4, Sigma-Aldrich, Gillingham, UK)
in deuterium oxide (2H2O, Sigma-Aldrich) and
0.0025% (v/v) sodium azide (NaN3, Sigma-Aldrich). Samples
were vortexed for 1 min, centrifuged at 13 000g and 4 °C for 2 min and 200 μL transferred (taking care
not to disturb any pelleted material) into 3 mm outer diameter NMR
tubes using a glass pipet.

Plasma Deuterium Enrichment for Fluid Delivery

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The quantification of plasma deuterium enrichment has previously been validated for qualitative assessment of fluid delivery [8 (link),14 ]. Based on both sample size power determination (G*Power 3, Dusseldorf) and cost, it was deemed that only 7 participants were required for assessment of fluid delivery. Prior to the oxidation trial, an intravenous 20 gauge cannula was inserted by a qualified phlebotomist into an antecubital vein for 7 of the participants, to allow repeated blood sampling. Sample lines were kept patent after each blood collection with a 2 ml isotonic saline flush (0.9% sodium chloride saline, Baxter, Norfolk, UK).
Participants received 5 g of deuterium oxide (2H2O, Sigma Aldrich, Dorset, UK), included in the beverage administered at 60 minutes, for assessment of fluid delivery. Blood samples were collected in 10 ml Vacutainer tubes, containing sodium fluoride/K3EDTA as an anticoagulant (Beckton Dickinson, Plymouth, UK), at 15 minute intervals from the 60 minute time point into the oxidation trial. Blood samples were analyzed for plasma 2H2O enrichment via equilibration (Europa 20–20 continuous-flow isotope ratio mass spectrometry) by an independent laboratory (Iso-Analytical Ltd., Crewe, UK). Indwelling cannulas were removed at the end of the oxidation trial.

NMR samples were
prepared within
48 h of acquisition. A 300 μL sample of thawed SF was diluted
to a final volume containing 50% (v/v) SF, 40% (v/v) dd 1H2O (18.2 MΩ), 10% (v/v) 1 M PO43– pH 7.4 buffer (Na2HPO4, VWR

(NaN3, Sigma-Aldrich). Samples were vortexed for 1 min,
centrifuged at 13 000g and 4 °C for 2
min, and 590 μL transferred (taking care not to disturb any
pelleted material) into 5 mm outer diameter NMR tubes using a glass

Deuterium Oxide Labeling of Skeletal Muscle

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Participants orally consumed deuterium oxide (2H2O, 70%, Sigma‐Aldrich) to achieve an isotopic steady state of 1%–2% to label newly synthesized skeletal muscle protein. 2H2O was provided during the last 4 weeks of the intervention (weeks 9–12) starting with a priming stage in week 9 (50 ml, 3×/day) followed by maintenance during weeks 10–12 (50 ml, 2×/day). Body water enrichment was determined from plasma collected at the time of the OGTT. Tissue and analyte preparation are detailed in the Supporting Information.

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.
