6890n gas chromatograph

Manufactured by Agilent Technologies
Sourced in United States, Germany, Japan

The Agilent 6890N Gas Chromatograph is an analytical instrument designed for separating and identifying the individual components of a complex chemical mixture. It operates by heating the sample and using an inert carrier gas to transport the vaporized components through a column, where they are separated based on their different boiling points and interactions with the column material. The separated components are then detected and identified using various detectors, such as flame ionization or mass spectrometry.

The fatty acid composition was determined by conversion of oil to fatty acid methyl esters, prepared following the standard IUPAC method 2.301. Fatty acid compositions of sesame seed oils were analyzed by an Agilent Technologies 6890 N gas chromatograph (GC) equipped with a 30.0 m × 250 µm × 0.25 µm BPX-70 capillary column and detected using a flame ionization detector (FID). Samples (1 µL) were injected under the following conditions: the nitrogen flow rate was 1.0 mL/min, the oven was programmed from the set temperature of 170 to 210 °C at 2 °C/min, the split ratio was 50:1, the GC injection temperature was 250 °C, and the detector temperature was 300 °C.

As described previously [19 (link)], an Agilent (Santa Clara, CA, USA) 6890N gas chromatograph, fitted with a flame ionization detector, was employed to identify and quantify the major sweet compounds isolated (Tables S4 and S5). Baijiu samples (1 μL) with internal standard (IS5: amyl acetate, 174.24 mg·L−1) added were directly injected into the gas chromatograph in split mode (split ratio = 10:1). Nitrogen was used as the carrier gas at a constant flow rate of 2 mL/min, and a DB-Wax column (30 m × 0.25 mm i.d., 0.25 μm film thickness, J&W Scientific, Folsom, CA, USA) was used for separation. The column temperature was programmed as follows: initially 35 °C for 2 min; increased to 70 °C at 3.5 °C/min; increased to 180 °C at 5 °C/min; increased to 10 °C/min to 200 °C and held for 5 min. The injector and detector temperatures were set at 250 °C. A calibration curve was established for each standard compound, by injecting a dilution series, prepared in 50% (v/v) aqueous ethanol and diluted stepwise in a 1:1 ratio. All samples were tested in triplicate.

We examined short chain fatty acids between C2:0 and C7:0. We were especially interested in the differences and changes of butyrate (C4:0) levels of the samples.
Stool samples from patients and healthy individuals were stored in small containers in -80°C. The patient samples were collected before and after FMT. Furthermore, native donor samples were compared to lyophilised samples.
Due to major differences between the concentrations of the samples, a qualitative analysis of the SCFA levels was carried out. 100 mg of the sample was diluted in 1 mL distilled water, followed by 10 minutes of vortexing. The samples were then incubated in room temperature for 10 minutes, then centrifuged with 10000 RPM (15000 g) for 10 minutes. The supernatant was collected, and mixed with the internal standard solution. The samples were then filtered (Low Protein Binding Hydrophilic LCR (PTFE) Membrane 0.2µm, Millex®, Tullagreen, Ireland) into GC tubes for the gas chromatography.
An Agilent Technologies 6890N gas chromatograph with a 5975 mass selective detector (Agilent, Waldbronn, Germany) was used for the analysis. Data analysis was performed using the GC/MSD CHEMSTATION (Version D.03.01, Agilent) software. Components were identified with the help of the NIST MS Search 2.0 library ( , ) and by spiking the samples with standards. C7:0 in its methyl ester form was used as an internal standard.

Urine samples require no preparation prior to freezing. Neat urine samples were lyophilized without further pretreatment. To the dried samples, we added 20 μl of 40 mg/ml methoxylamine hydrochloride in pyridine, and samples were agitated at 30°C for 30 min. Subsequently, 180 μl of trimethylsilylating agent N-methyl-N-trimethylsilyltrifluoroacetamide (MSTFA) was added, and samples were agitated at 37°C for 30 min. GC–MS analysis was performed using a Agilent 6890 N gas chromatograph (Atlanta, GA, USA) interfaced to a time-of-flight (TOF) Pegasus III mass spectrometer (Leco, St. Joseph, MI, USA).8 (link)–10 (link) Automated injections were performed with a programmable robotic Gerstel MPS2 multipurpose sampler (Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany). We performed initial peak detection and mass spectrum deconvolution with ChromaTOF software (version 2.25, Leco), and later exported samples to the netCDF format for further data evaluation with MZmine and XCMS. We identified samples with >50% certainty. If this degree of certainty was not met they were given the name (unknown) followed by a numeric number.

Total lipids from synaptic membrane fractions were extracted following the method of Bligh and Dyer [40 (link)] with modifications [41 (link)]. Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMES) were prepared, identified, and quantified as previously described [4 (link)]. Briefly, FAMES were prepared from total lipid extracts by subjecting them to strong acid hydrolysis (16.6% HCl in methanol at 85 °C overnight). Total FAMES were quantified using an Agilent Technologies 6890N gas chromatograph (GC) with a flame ionization detector (FID), using 15:0 and 17:0 as internal standards. VLC-SFA were quantified using an Agilent Technologies 7890 GC [41 (link)] with a 5975C inert XL mass spectrometer (MS) detector (Agilent Technologies). The GC-MS was operated in the electron impact (EI) single ion monitoring (SIM) mode. The 28:0 and 30:0 response values were obtained by using the m/z ratios 438.4 and 466.5, respectively, along with m/z 74.1 and 87.1. Sample concentrations were determined by comparison to external standards, using 25:0 and 27:0 as internal standards. Multivariate ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc was used to determine statistical significance.

The eluent for carbohydrate analysis needs a simple derivatization prior to GC-MS analysis. Briefly, 2% 0.2 mL sodium borohydride solution (dissolved in aqueous ammonia) was added into the eluent. After reaction for 20 min at 40 °C, 0.4 mL acetic acid, 0.3 mL methylimidazole and 1 mL acetic anhydride was added to the solution followed by another 10 min reaction. Finally, the carbohydrate derivatives were dissolved in 500 μL dichloromethane.

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.
