Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:SP001015
Sampleprep Summary:1. Check the pH of methanol (pH 7) 2. Make the extraction solution by mixing methanol, chloroform, and water in proportions of 10 : 3 : 1 3. Rinse the extraction solution for 5 min with nitrogen, making sure that the nitrogen line was flushed out of air before using it for degassing the extraction solvent solution. 4. Add one metal ball to each Eppendorf tube, close, and place in liquid nitrogen. 5. Take the Eppendorf tubes from the liquid nitrogen and place into the tube-holder of the grinder being careful to compensate for weight, maintaining equilibrium. 6. Shake for 30s at a frequency of 25 s-1 and check that the leaves have been ground into a fine powder. Repeat if necessary, submerging in liquid nitrogen first. 7. After grinding add 500μL of pre-chilled extraction solution to each tube one by one to prevent even partial thawing of the sample. Store all samples on ice while finishing this step. 8. Vortex the sample for 20s. 9. Centrifuge for 3min at 14,000 rcf using the centrifuge Eppendorf 5415 D. 10. Remove the whole supernatant into a clean Eppendorf tube. 11. Add 800μL of extraction solvent back into the tube with the pellet and metal ball. 12. Vortex the sample again for 20s. 13. Centrifuge for 3min at 14,000 rcf using the centrifuge Eppendorf 5415 D. 14. Remove the whole supernatant and combine with the previous supernatant. 15. Dry in the Labconco Centrivap cold trap concentrator to complete dryness and submit for derivitization.
