Cells should arrive pelleted and frozen from collaborator
Using wide-mouth pipette wash pellet with 500uL 150 mM ammonium acetate (25x aspirations)
Centrifuge @ 200 g for 5 min
Remove supernatant
Repeat steps 2-4 a second time
Add 4-6 non-sterile 2.3mm stainless steel beads to the tube.
Dispense 225 ul of ice-cold Methanol at -20 deg C containing 1.5% iSTD “SPLASH” mix into extraction tube 1.
Seal the sample tube and place it in the bead beater at an amplitude 20 Hz for 15 minutes to homogenize the sample & extract the metabolites.
Close the tube.
Vortex extraction tube 1 for 10 seconds.
Open extraction tube 1 and dispense 750ul of ice-cold MTBE.
Close extraction tube 1 and vortex for 10s.
Shake extraction tube 1 for 6 min at 4 deg C.
Open extraction tube 1 and dispense 188 ul of LC-MS grade water containing the 18 HILIC iSTDs at 1/3rd of their normal concentration as defined in the HILIC extraction SOP except CUDA.
Close extraction tube 1 and vortex it for 20 seconds
Centrifuge extraction tube 1 for 2 min at 14,000xg.
Open extraction tube 1 and transfer 700ul of the upper phase into a single 700ul tubetwo new separate tubes(350ul/ tube); henceforth referred to as (Lipidomics tube 1) and (Lipidomics tube 2).
Transfer 250ul of the bottom phase from extraction tube 1 into a new single-tube hereafter referred to as (Hilic tube 1).
Centrivap Lipidomics tube 1, and Hilic tube 1 at room temperature until dry.
Reconstitute Lipidomics tube 1 in 120 ul of Methanol containing CUDA istd and close the tube.
Perform lipid cleanup on HILIC tube 1: Add 500uL of 1:1 ACN:Water and vortex for 20s
Centrifuge at 14,000 g for 2 min.
Transfer supernatant to a new tube and dry down
Reconstitute HILIC tube 1 in 60ul of ACN:H2O (4:1 v/v) containing CUDA and close the tube.
Sonicate Lipidomics tube 1 and Hilic tube 1 at room temperature for 5 min.
Centrifuge Lipidomics tube 1 and Hilic tube 1 at 14,000xg for 2 min.
Open lipidomics tube 1, transfer equal fractions of the extract into two separate amber glass vials with micro-inserts, hereafter referred to as (lipidomics vial 1 pos) and (lipidomics vial 1 neg), and close the vials.a
Open Hilic tube 1 and transfer the extract into an amber glass vial with a micro-insert, hereafter referred to as (Hilic vial) and close the vial.
Analyze the samples via UHPLC–Orbitrap as follows.
