The experimental design was modified from that of Brown et al.14 (link) Coprolites and sediments were crushed using a mortar and pestle and then passed through a 2 mm sieve. Approximately 0.05 g of each sample was placed into a 10 mL headspace vial with PTFE/silicone septa lid (Fisher Scientific, UK) and five drops of double distilled water were added to accelerate the release of VOCs.53 (link) The sample was then placed in a heating block and, maintained at a temperature of 60°C for 1 h. After sample incubation, a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fibre (50/30 μm DVB/CAR/PDMS; Supelco, Bellefonte, USA) in a manual SPME holder (Supelco, USA) was used to sample the head-space air above faeces for 20 min. The SPME fibre was conditioned in injector of the gas chromatograph (GC) at 250°C for at least one hour prior to each sampling event, thereby ensuring that no interfering peaks were obtained. The fibre was then retracted and immediately (<1 min) manually injected into the injection port of a GC/Q-TOFMS for characterisation.

Headspace SPME-GC-MS Analysis of Fire Debris

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ILRs of the samples were first extracted using a headspace concentration-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) procedure. A 65 μm polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) fibre housed in a manual SPME holder (Supelco, Bellefonte, PA, USA) was used for the extraction. To ensure no component peak arose from the SPME membrane, the fibre blank was first introduced into the GC–MS system and analysed according to the method used for analysing ILRs extracted from the fire debris samples. Given a fire debris sample, headspace was first created by keeping it in an oven at 90°C for 15 min. Then, the nylon bag was removed from the oven and subsequently pierced with the SPME needle. After 20 min, the SPME needle was removed and directly inserted into the gas chromatographic injector port. An SPME fibre blank was performed each time before a new sample injection to ensure no carryover of the previous sample.
All the GC–MS analyses were performed on a PerkinElmer Clarus® 680 gas chromatography coupled with a Clarus® SQ 8T mass spectrometry (Waltham, MA, USA). Table 1 presents the parameters adopted to perform the GC–MS analysis. The GC–MS data were acquired by a PerkinElmer TurboMass (version 6.1.0).

HS-SPME Analysis of Volatile Compounds

HS-SPME analysis was performed by using a 75 μm carboxen-polydimethylsiloxane (CAR-PDMS) SPME fiber equipped with a manual SPME holder (Supelco, Bellefonte, PA, USA). Samples were equilibrated for 20 min at room temperature before analysis and the SPME fiber was conditioned at the gas chromatographic injection port for 40 min at 250 °C before the first volatile collection. After that, the fiber was inserted into the headspace of the capped vial with SPME holder to absorb volatile compounds for 40 min at 45 °C (water bath). The empty capped vial was used as the blank control.

Volatile Organic Compound Profiling of Virus-Infected Plants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ten healthy, mock-inoculated or MMWV-infected plants (10 days after inoculation) were placed in a glass desiccator (36 L). Plants were illuminated with fluorescent bulbs (50 μmol m−2 s−1 with a photoperiod of 16 h light: 8 h dark). The temperature in the glass desiccators was 25 °C, and the relative humidity was 70%. The Pots with potting soil were wrapped with aluminum foil to prevent water evaporation and volatile emission from the soil. A watered pot wrapped in aluminum foil without plants was used as a negative control. The glass desiccator was connected to a GC-grade air generator (QL-3, Shandong Saikesaisi Hydrogen Energy Co., Ltd., Shandong, China) through a cork plug with two openings allowing gases to go in and out at a flow rate of 350 ml min−1. A clean Pasteur glass pipette was inserted in the outlet of the cock plug and VOCs were collected with divinyl-benzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS, 50 μm/30 μm, No.57348-U) solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fibers (Bellefonte, PA, USA). The manual SPME holder was purchased from Supelco (Bellefonte, PA, USA) (Figure 1). SPME fibers were conditioned at 250 °C for 1 h, and then placed in the Pasteur glass pipette to absorb VOCs for 2 h. All assays were performed in triplicate.

GC-MS Analysis of Milk Volatiles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Volatile compounds for each milk sample were evaluated by GC-MS/solid-phase microextraction (SPME) analysis as previously described (Lanciotti et al., 2006) . A divinylbenzenecarboxen-polydimethylsiloxane-coated fibre (65 µm) and a manual SPME holder (Supelco) were used for the SPME of volatile compounds in milk. For peak detection, an Agilent 7890 gas chromatograph (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, FL, USA) coupled to an Agilent 5970 mass selective detector was used. This system was operated in electron impact mode with an ionisation voltage of 70 eV. The column used was a Chrompack CP-Wax 52 CB capillary column (50 m × 0.32 mm i.d.; Chrompack, Middetburg, Netherlands). The temperature was adjusted to 50 °C for 2 min and then raised 1 °C every minute up to 65 °C and after that 5 °C per min to 220 °C. The temperatures of the injector, interface, and ion source were 250, 250, and 230°C, respectively.
Injections were carried out in splitless mode, and the carrier gas was helium with a constant flow rate of 1 mL min -1 . Volatile compounds were identified using mass spectra databases (NIST/EPA/NIH version 2005). The quantification of the main volatile compounds was performed
7 on the basis of calibration curves obtained by adding pure standards to 5 mL of milk samples and prepared as previously described for volatile compound analysis.

Headspace-SPME Extraction of Wine Aroma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SPME manual holder and fused silica fiber coated with Carboxen ® /Polydimetilsiloxane (CAR/PDMS) stationary phase (85 µm thickness) were purchased from Supelco (Bellefonte, PA, USA) and used for the extraction of the aroma compounds from the wine samples by HS-SPME. Before the first use, the fiber was preconditioned according to the manufacturer's instruction. Twenty milliliters of the wine sample, 3 g of NaCl and a magnetic stirrer bar were placed in a 30 mL amber glass bottle, closed with rubber septum and sealed with parafilm. In order to achieve the equilibration state, the samples were heated at 55 • C and agitated with the magnetic stirrer for 15 min (pre-extraction). The SPME fiber was then inserted into the headspace of the sample and the volatiles were extracted for 35 min with constant heating and stirring at 55 • C. The fiber was than desorbed for 10 min in a split/splitless inlet set at 250 • C in 20:1 split mode and analyzed by GC/MS and GC/FID.

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.
