Precipitation of Proteins and Lipid Extraction From Homogenized Rat Skin Tissue

31 Oct 2018

In this study, protein precipitation and bioactive lipid extraction from rat skin tissues is reported. The combination Solid Phase Extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS/MS) approach was used to measure concentrations of lipid mediators in these tissues. Rat skin tissues were homogenized using CKMix50_7mL Precellys® Lysing Kit and Precellys® Evolution tissue homogenizer combined with Cryolys® cooling unit. In addition, temperatures of homogenates were measured to investigate if temperature of complete homogenate of rat skin tissues remained below 40°C.

LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis.

It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
