Sampleprep ID:SP002486
Sampleprep Summary:Sample preparation 2.3.1Methanol precipitation for metabolomic extraction. 100 µL from each plasma sample was transferred to Eppendorf, then a volume of 300 µL of methanol was added to the aliquot. Samples were vortexed, then chilled at -20 °C for 2 hours followed by centrifugation (14000 rpm, 15 minutes, 24°C) to precipitate protein. The metabolite-containing supernatants were collected and transferred to glass vials for dry-ing using the EZ-2 Plus (GeneVac, Ipswich, UK) at 40 ±1°C and the protein pellets that remained were air dried for proteomics (see section 2.4). Dried metabolite samples were resuspended with 200 µl (0.1% formic acid in water), and vortexed for 2 min. The samples were filtered using a hydrophilic nylon syringe filter (0.45 μm pore size) and placed with-in glass inserts prior to being analyzed by Q-TOF MS. 4.3.2 Methanol: chloroform for metabolomic extraction. 100 µL from each sample was transferred to Eppendorf, then a volume of 400 µL of methanol and 300 µL of chloroform was added to the aliquot. Samples were vortexed then centrifuged (14000 rpm, 15 minutes, 24°C). Two metabolite-containing layers, an upper aqueous- and lower organic phase, were obtained separated by a thin white proteinaceous disc. The upper layer for each sample was transferred to glass vials and a volume of 400 µL of methanol was added, followed by vortexing and centrifugation to pellet the protein disc, after which the remaining supernatant was transferred to the same glass vials as be-fore for drying step and the protein pellets that remained were air dried for proteomics. Dried metabolomics samples were resuspended with 200 µL (0.1% formic acid in water) to be injected into HPLC and analyzed by Q-TOF MS.
