Pegasus GCxGC-TOFMS (Leco Corporation Joseph, MI, USA) that uses an Agilent 7890A GC (Atlanta, GA) coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOFMS) (Leco Corporation, St Joseph, MI, USA) equipped with a Gerstel Multipurpose sampler, was used for chromatographic analyses of the derivatized samples. One µL of serum extract was randomly injected at a split ratio of 1:50 and the carrier gas used was helium at a flow rate of 1 ml min−1. For the entire run, the temperature of the injectors was kept constant at 270°C. A Restek Rxi-5Sil MS capillary column (29.145 m × 0.25 μm d.f.) was used as the primary column. The primary oven was programmed to an initial temperature of 70°C for 2 min to obtain a compound separation. Subsequently, this was followed by a 4°C per minute increase to a final temperature of 300°C where it was maintained for 2 min. The second separation of compounds was achieved using a Restek Rxi-17 (1.400 m, 0.25 µm i.d., 0.25 μm d.f.) column. The secondary column used was set to the same temperature parameters as that of the primary column. The filament bias was EI at 70 eV while the detector voltage was at 1,600 V. Subsequently, the mass spectra were collected at an acquisition rate of 200 spectra per second with a source temperature of 220°C and a solvent delay of 400 s from 50 to 800 m/z (Du Preez and Loots 2013 (link)).

A 300 μL aliquot of the solution used for the NMR analysis was exchanged with water and then dried down by vacuum centrifuge. The dried samples were derivatized for GC-TOF-MS analysis by the two-step derivatization method and analyzed on Leco Pegasus 4D time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) (Fiehn et al., 2008 (link); Kind et al., 2009 (link)).

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.
