Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Biogenic amine concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD) 48 (link). Briefly, mice were sacrificed by decapitation and the striatum was quickly removed. Striatal tissue was weighed and sonicated in 0.2 ml ice cold 0.01 mM perchloric acid containing 0.01 % EDTA and 60 ng 3,4-dihydroxybenzylamine (DHBA) as an internal standard. After centrifugation (15,000 × g, 30 min, 4°C), the supernatant was passed through a 0.2 μm filter. Twenty microliters of the supernatant were analyzed in the HPLC column (3 mm x150 mm C-18 reverse phase column, Acclaim Polar Advantage II, Thermo Scientific, USA) by a dual channel coulochem III electrochemical detector (Model 5300, ESA, Inc Chelmsford, MA, USA). The protein concentrations of tissue homogenates were measured using the BCA protein assay kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA). Data were normalized to protein concentrations and expressed in ng ug−1 protein.

Quantifying Neuronal Monoamine Levels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Neuron culture medium was replaced by Hanks' balanced saline solution buffer with the addition of 56 mM KCl and incubated for 15 minutes at 37°C. The medium was collected and centrifuged to clear cell debris. Neuron pellet was also collected. Samples were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80°C. For HPLC analysis, samples were thawed and concentrated using a vacuum (Savant SDP 121P, Thermo Fisher Scientific) connected with refrigerated vapor trap (Savant RVT 5105, Thermo Fisher Scientific), and the freeze‐dried samples were resuspended in 10 mM perchloric acid. Monoamines were analyzed by HPLC electrochemical detection by dual channel Coulochem III electrochemical detector (model 5300; ESA Inc., Chelmsford, MA, http://www.esainc.com), and monoamines were separated by using a reverse phase C18 column (3‐mm 3 150‐mm C‐18 RP‐column; Acclaim Polar Advantage II; Thermo Fisher Scientific) with a flow rate of 0.600 ml/minute. Monoamine concentrations were quantified by comparison of the area under the curve to known standard dilutions.

Isolation and Characterization of Metabolites from A. fruticosa Seeds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The
seeds of A. fruticosa (2 kg) [imported
from The People’s Republic of China] were purchased from a
market and extracted to isolate the metabolites. Organic solvents
for the extraction, separation, and isolation (water, methanol, butanol,
acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, chloroform, and n-hexane)
were bought from Duksan (Gyeonggi-do, South Korea). The solvents used
for HPLC and medium-pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC) were of
analytical grade. The analytical columns that were used for MPLC were
a Triart C18 (250 mm × 20.0 mm, S-5 μm, 12 nm, YMC, Kyoto,
Japan) and an Acclaim Polar Advantage II (250 mm × 20 mm, 5 μm,
Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA), and for HPLC, an Eclipse XDB-C18
(150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm, Agilent Technologies Inc., Santa
Clara, CA) column was used. Tyrosinase from mushroom, l-tyrosine, l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA), N-acetyl-l-tyrosine, kojic acid, DMSO, and NMR solvents (chloroform-d, methanol-d4, and acetone-d6) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis,
MO).

Bark Extract Analysis via LC-MS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
350 mg of dried wood powder from bark samples were mixed separately at room temperature with 30 ml of methanol/water solution (ratio 4:1, v/v). After 3 h of stirring, the supernatant was recovered, then analyzed via LC-DAD (Ultimate 3000, Thermo Scientific), using an Acclaim Polar Advantage II (Thermo Scientific) in methanol (A)/water (B) gradient mode at 1 ml/min (injection volume 10 μl). The gradient elution program was set as follows: 0–9 min. (95% B), 9–16 min. (75% B), 16–25 min. (60% B), 25–35 min. (50% B), 35–52 min. (0.0% B), 52–62 min. (95% B). Then, the elution gradient was linearly ramped down to 60% A for 2 min and so maintained for 9 min to condition the column for the next injection. The column was connected to an electrospray hybrid linear ion Orbitap mass analyzer (LTQ Orbitrap Velos, Thermo-Fisher, Bremen, Germany). The electrospray spray voltage was 3.8 kV. The LC-MS analysis was used in negative ion detection mode. Data were analyzed with the Xcalibur software.

The N-nitrosamine
concentrations were measured using an Agilent 1290 HPLC system coupled
with a diode array detector (DAD) at 230 nm and a C18 column
(Acclaim Polar Advantage II, 120 Å, 5 μm, 4.6 mm ×
150 mm, Thermo Scientific).37 (link) The mobile
phase consisted of HPLC-grade acetonitrile (phase A) and 10 mM phosphoric
acid (phase B) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The gradient elution
procedure started from 98% A for the first 6 min, then decreased to
20% in the following 12 min, and was kept for 5 min; finally, it was
increased to 98% A again within 5 min and maintained for 4 min.

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.
