Collection:

Collection ID:	CO002491
Collection Summary:	The CapScan sampling devices (Envivo Bio Inc, San Carlos CA) were constructed with a coating designed to dissolve at a specific pH to take advantage of the pH gradient of the human intestine. After the coating dissolved, a compressed elastic bladder expanded to pull in 400 µL of luminal contents through a oneway valve. This valve remained sealed until recovery from stool. The pH coating of each capsule type Page 13/30 dissolved at pH 5.5 (type 1), 6 (type 2), or 7.5 (types 3 and 4). Type 4 also had a time delay to target the distal ileum or ascending colon. Four sampling capsules were swallowed 3 hours after lunch or dinner across 2 days (Figure 1A). Subjects were instructed to maintain their normal diet, record the time of any food or drink consumed over the testing period, and to not consume caffeinated beverages after lunch on sampling days. Detailed guidelines are provided in Supplemental Material. Stool was collected and immediately frozen at -20 °C until stool was thawed and filled capsule devices were retrieved. Liquid sample was removed from each bladder using a hypodermic needle. An aliquot of each sample was used for 16S rRNA gene sequencing while another aliquot was centrifuged at 10,000 rcf for 3 min, and the supernatant was used for metabolomics analysis.
Sample Type:	Intestine

Treatment:

Treatment ID:	TR002510
Treatment Summary:	We aimed to comprehensively study metabolomic differences among luminal samples from the upper intestinal tract of 15 healthy subjects to better understand the extent of spatial and temporal variation and to gauge the prospects of integrating metabolome and microbiome data. Volunteers swallowed sets of 4 sampling devices per sampling timepoint. These ingestible sampling devices were comprised of a collapsed collection bladder capped by a one-way valve in a capsule treated with pH-sensitive coatings. The four types of capsules differed only in their enteric coating which dissolved at pH 5.5 (capsule 1), pH 6 (capsule 2), and pH 7.5 (capsules 3 and 4) (Figure 1A). The thickness and pH-responsiveness of the coating enabled sampling at specific locations of the intestinal tract after entry into the duodenum. The devices did not contain any electronics beyond a passive radio frequency identification chip for tracking purposes. Once the coatings dissolved, an elastic collection bladder expanded and collected up to 400 µL of luminal contents through vacuum suction. The one-way valve prevented loss of sample and contamination from downstream fluids. Stool samples were frozen at -20 °C and all capsules were recovered from the stool prior to analysis. Liquid contents were retrieved from capsules using hypodermic needles. Aliquots of the raw sample were used for 16S ribosomal RNA microbiome analyses and the supernatants from centrifugated samples were used for metabolomic studies.

Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:	SP002504
Sampleprep Summary:	Extraction is carried out using a bi-phasic solvent system of cold methanol, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), and water. In more detail, cold methanol (225 µL is added to a 5mg tissue sample aliquot, which is placed into a 1.5 mL Eppendorf tube. Then, 750 µL of cold MTBE is added, followed by vortexing for 10 s. and shaking for 6 min. at 4ºC. Phase separation is induced by adding 188 µL of mass spec-grade water. After vortexing for 20 s. the sample is centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 2 min. The upper organic phase is collected in two 300 µL aliquots for lipid analysis polar layer is collected in two 125 µL aliquots for HILIC analysis. One is stored at -20ºC as a backup and the other is evaporated to dryness in a SpeedVac. Dried extracts are resuspended in acetonitrile.
