Anions (F, Cl, Br, NO2, NO3, PO43−, SO42−) were measured after H2O extraction by adding 100 mL of MilliQ water to 5 g of sample and mechanically stirred overnight for 8 h. The final solution, filtered through 0.45 μm cellulose membrane was injected in the Ion Chromatography (IC) system (Shimadzu, Kyoto, JP) consisting of two pumps LC20AD XR, a degasser DGU20A3, an autosampler SIL20AD XR, an oven CTO10AS VP and a suppressed conductivity Detector CDD‐10AVP. Ion separation was achieved using an Allsep Anion 7 u (Grace, Aiken, SC, USA) using 0.85 mM NaHCO3 + 0.9 Na2CO3 water solution as a mobile phase. The chromatograms obtained were compared with those obtained from acid solutions of known concentration using calibration with the external standard method. For calibration, an external standard (Ultra Scientific Italia Srl, Bologna, Italy) was employed. The calibration procedure utilised linear regression techniques, which were based on chromatographic peak areas, to establish precise quantification for each of the target anions.

Purity was determined by reversed-phase analytical HPLC (see Supplementary Figs 7–9) using a Phenomenex Gemini C18 column (100 × 4.6 mm), with 5 μm particle size and 110 Å pore size, connected to a HPLC system equipped with an autosampler (Shimadzu SIL-20A XR), degasser (Shimadzu DGU-20A3) and a high-pressure gradient system comprising two LC-20AD XR pumps (Shimadzu). Separation was performed at a flow of 1 ml min−1 and using a 20-60% acetonitrile linear gradient in water containing 0.1% NH4OH. All eluents and additives were HPLC grade. Peptides, cyanine dye-coupled peptides and eventual contaminants were detected using a PDA (Shimadzu SPD-M20A), acquiring a full ultraviolet-visible spectrum between 200 and 750 nm at any time point. Main chromatogram peaks were collected and product mass confirmed by ESI mass spectrometry using a LCQ Deca XP Max (Thermo Finnigan) ion-trap mass spectrometer. For that, samples were manually injected bypassing the column at a flow rate of 0.20 ml min−1 and positive ion mass spectra were acquired in standard enhanced mode.

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.
