Sample Preparation:
Sampleprep ID: | SP001388 |
Sampleprep Summary: | Foreskin samples are cut into small pieces with a scalpel (new) on ice. Weight 50 mg of the foreskin for each sample in 1.5 mL Eppendorf tubes. Sample homogenization and extraction of metabolites is perform adding 1 ml of chloroform/MeOH/H2O (2:5:2) to each sample. Samples are sonicated using a polytron for 15 seconds (3X) in a beaker with ice. Shake samples for 15 minutes in a nutating vortex and centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant is collected and transferred into 1.5 glass vials for drying. For evaporation, use plastic caps with hole caps. Make a little hole in the center for evaporation to take place. Evaporate samples in SpeedVac until samples are completely dried. |
