Acetyl-CoA and Acetyl-Carnitine analysis with LC-MS/MS
- Sample treatment (extraction)
1)Add 200ul of extraction solution (methanol: Water=4:1 (v:v), with internal standards, MalCoA_d3, Acetyl_Carnitine_d3) into the cell pellets.
2)Put cells into liquid nitrogen for 1min.
3)Thaw the samples in sonicate for 5min.
4) Repeat step 2 and 3 twice (3 times in total).
5) Centrifuge the samples at 13,000 rpm for 10 min at 4˚C.
6) Transfer 140 µL of the supernatant into auto-sampler vials for injection - LC-MS/MS analysis
