Quantifying Myocardial Infarct Size via ICP-MS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mass spectroscopy was conducted to assess infarct size by quantifying gadolinium in the scar. ICP-MS was performed on scar tissue 7 days and 30 days after permanent ligation. The model ELAN DRCplus (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, Massachusetts, US) was used with the software package Perkin Elmer’s Elan v. 3.3. Principal settings were plasma, auxiliary, and nebulizer gas flows 15, 0.8, and 0.97 l/min of argon with an RF power of 1200 W. The sample flow rate was 0.4 ml/min. The residence times on gadolinium were averaged over five replicate readings (data not shown).

NMR analyses
were performed with a 500 MHz Bruker AVANCE-III NMR-system. The multiplicities
are abbreviated as follows: s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet,
m = multiplet, br = broad signal, dd = doublet of doublets, etc. MS
analyses were performed with a linear ion trap quadrupole mass spectrometer
(QTRAP, Applied Biosystems SCIEX) equipped with a Turbo Ion Spray
source. Purity of the reference standard 4 was determined
with HPLC. Ruthenium content in the final preparation was analyzed
with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS; PerkinElmer,
Elan DRC Plus). Commercial standards were used for instrument calibration.

Urinary Arsenic Speciation Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Participants were asked to provide a spot urine sample at the mobile examination center (MEC). Urinary total arsenic was analyzed with inductively coupled-plasma dynamic reaction cell-mass spectrometry (ICP-DRC-MS) on an ELAN® DRCPlus or an ELAN® DRC™ II ICP-MS (PerkinElmer SCIEX, Concord, ON, Canada). Arsenic species, including arsenous acid, arsenic acid, arsenobetaine, arsenocholine, dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), monomethylarsonic acid and trimethylarine oxide, were analyzed with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to ICP-DRC-MS (National Center for Environmental Health, 2004 ). The limit of detection (LOD) of total arsenic was 0.6μg/L in cycle 2003/2004 and 0.74 μg/L from 2005 through 2010. The LOD of arsenic species were constant between 2003 and 2010 (arsonous acid: 1.2μg/L, arsenic acid: 1.0μg/L, arsenobetaine: 0.4 μg/L, arsenocholine: 0.6 μg/L, DMA: 1.7 μg/L, monomethylarsonic acid: 0.9 μg/L, trimethylarsine oxide: 1.0 μg/L) (National Center for Health Statistics, 2011a , 2011b , 2009a , 2007 ). For total arsenic and speciated arsenics, urine samples below LOD were assigned a value equal to LOD/√2. Given that the majority of participants had arsenous acid, arsenic acid and arsenocholine below their respective LODs, urinary inorganic arsenic (iAs) was estimated by subtracting arsenobetaine from total arsenic.

Elemental Gd was assayed in the plasma, urine, feces, spleen, heart, brain (cerebral cortex), cerebellum, dorsal skin, liver (1 sample from the left lobe), left kidney, and left femur (both epiphyses) by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) using an ELAN DRC Plus (PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences, Inc, Waltham, MA) after sample mineralization in 65% nitric acid for 8 hours at a temperature of 80°C. The lower limit of quantification in diluted mineralized solutions was 0.05 μg/L.

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.
