Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:SP001026
Sampleprep Summary:For LC-MS, plasma protein was removed adding 300 µL of cold (-20 °C) methanol:ethanol (1:1) to 100 µL of sample. Samples were then vortex-mixed and stored on ice for 5 min. Supernatant containing the metabolites was separated from the pellet by centrifugation (16,000× g for 20 min at 4 °C), and put into a LC vial for analysis. For GC-MS protein precipitation, 120 μL of cold acetonitrile (ACN) were added to 40 μL of each plasma sample in an Eppendorf and were stored on ice for 5 minutes. Then, metabolites were separated by centrifugation (16,000× g, 15 min, 4 °C). From the resulting supernatant, 100 μL were transferred to GC vial with insert and were evaporated to dryness (SpeedVac Concentrator, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Then, 10 μL of O-methoxyamine hydrochloride in pyridine (15 mg/mL) was added to each GC vial, and the mixture was vigorously vortex-mixed and ultrasonicated. Methoxymation was carried out in darkness, at room temperature for 16 h. Afterwards, 10 μL of N,O-Bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA) with 1% trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) were added as catalyst and the solution was further mixed using the vortex. For silylation process, samples were heated in an oven for 1h at 70 °C. Finally, 100 μL of heptane containing 10 ppm of C18:0 methyl ester (IS) were added to each GC vial and vortex-mixed before GC analysis.
