Quantifying Myocardial Tetrahydrobiopterin

The supernatant obtained in point 2.3.1. was diluted 1:10 with 0.01M NaOH before starting the analysis. The determination of BH4 levels in ventricular tissue was performed by capillary zone electrophoresis with UV-Vis detection by diode array, using the methodology of Han [28 (link)].
The sample was passed through a Sep-Pak Classic C18-NH2 cartridge (Waters, Urbana, IL, USA) and directly analyzed with a P/ACETM MDQ (Beckman Coulter Inc., Fullerton, CA, USA) at 30 kV for 6 min and a wavelength of 230 nm at 10 °C, using a running buffer (0.1 M Tris—0.1 M boric acid—2 mM EDTA, pH 8.75). The samples were injected under hydropneumatic pressure of 0.5 psi/10 s. BH4 concentration was determined using a standard curve from 0–200 pmol/mL using analytical grade BH4.

Capillary Electrophoresis for Analyte Separation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All CE experiments were carried out using a capillary electrophoresis system with a diode array detector from Beckman Coulter Instruments, model P/ACETM MDQ (Fullerton, CA, USA), operating at 214 nm. The 32 Karat™ software, also from Beckman, was used to control the instrument and for data acquisition. Samples and standards were hydrodynamically injected (5 s at 0.5 psi) at the short end of a fused silica capillary with polyimide coating (50 cm total length, 10.2 cm effective length, 50 µm i.d.). Before the first use, the capillary was rinsed with aqueous 1.0 mol L−1 NaOH for 20 min, followed by ultrapure water for 20 min. Every day before starting the analysis, the capillary was rinsed with running buffer for 5 min.
The separation was accomplished using BGE containing 5 mmol L−1 imidazole, 6 mmol L−1 HIBA, and 23.3 mmol L−1 18-crown-6 in 3.7 % (v/v) methanol. A constant voltage of +11.4 kV was applied on the injection side (short end) with temperature fixed at 20 °C.

Simultaneous Determination of Angiotensin II and Angiotensin-(1-7) in Biological Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ang II and Ang–(1-7) were simultaneously determined in the rat serum or lung homogenate (50 μL) by capillary zone electrophoresis with UV detection by the photodiode array. Samples were deproteinized with cold methanol and 20% trichloroacetic acid in a 10:1 ratio, then were centrifuged at 16,000× g for 15 min at 10 °C and filtered with 0.22 µm nitrocellulose membrane filters, diluted 1:10 with cold 0.1 M sodium hydroxide. The samples were passed through Cold Sep-Pak Classic C-18 cartridges and tested directly on the P/ACETM MDQ de Beckman Coulter system for previous capillary precondition by passing 1.0 M sodium hydroxide solution for 30 min, then deionized water for 30 min, and finally the running buffer (100 mM boric acid + 3 mM tartaric acid + 10 fM gold III chloride at pH 9.8) for 30 min. Samples were injected under hydrodynamic pressure at 0.5 psi/10 s. Separation was performed at 30 kV for 10 min at 200 nm at 20 °C. The capillary was washed between runs with 1.0 M sodium hydroxide for 2 min, deionized water for 2 min, and running buffer for 4 min. The results were expressed in pmoles/mL. Ang II and Ang 1-7 concentrations were determined using a standard curve [62 (link)].

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.
