Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:SP002446
Sampleprep Summary:Serum samples (100 µL per tube) were shipped from Emory University to the NC HHEAR Hub on dry ice. The NC HHEAR Hub thawed and transferred 50 µL of the study samples to a new set of tubes and used them for the analysis. An additional 10 µL was taken from the original study sample and transferred to another tube to make the total study pool for this project, and then distributed with 50 µL per aliquot, used as Quality control study pools (QC study pools) throughout the whole analysis. All sample aliquots (50 µL each) and QC study pools (50 µL each) were stored at -80° C until the day for sample preparation. HHEAR reference plasma (50 µL each) and NIST serum (909c) reference material (50 µL each) were provided by the NC HHEAR Hub. The LC-MS grade water (50 µL) was used as blank. Sample preparation was conducted by batch, and all samples (except blank) were thawed at 4°C overnight before the preparation. Samples, including study samples, study pool samples, HHEAR reference plasma, NIST reference serum, and blanks, were mixed with 400 µL methanol containing 500 ng/mL tryptophan-d5 as internal standard and vortexed by a multiple tube vortex mixer for 2 min at 5000 rpm at room temperature. All samples were centrifuged at 16,000 rcf for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant (350 µL) was transferred into a pre-labeled 2.0 mL Lo-bind Eppendorf tube, dried by a SpeedVac overnight, and stored at -80° C. For immediate analysis, 100 µL of water-methanol solution (95:5, v/v) was used to reconstitute the dried extracts. Samples were thoroughly mixed on a multiple tube vortex mixer for 10 min at 5000 rpm at room temperature and then centrifuged at 4°C for 10 min at 16,000 rcf. The supernatant was transferred to pre-labeled autosampler vials for data acquisition by LC-MS.
