Before start

This protocol assumes that the original urine samples have >600 µL.

Steps

1.

Day-1/1

2

1.

Day-1/1

1.1.

Dry the samples in a speed-vac concentrator

Note
Store dried samples at -80°C until the following step if needed.

1.1.

Thaw samples On ice or at 4°C

1.2.

Centrifuge the samples at 4°C at 12000x g,0h 0m 0s for 0h 5m 0s

Note
This step is to remove particles in the samplesSample tube and volume specifications vary depending on the study

1.2.

Dry the samples in a speed-vac concentrator

1.3.

Add 60µL of the phosphate buffer to 540µL of the supernatant for each sample

  • Use 1.5-mL Eppendorf tubes
1.3.
1.4.

Transfer the supernatant of each sample to a new tube

  • Use 1.5-mL tubes
1.4.

Vortex the samples at 4°C for 0h 2m 0s

1.5.

Centrifuge the samples at 16000rcf for 0h 30m 0s

1.5.

Centrifuge the samples at 4°C for 0h 0m 10s

Note
This step is to remove samples attached to tube caps, and no centrifugation speed specified

1.6.

Incubate the samples at -20°C for 0h 20m 0s

1.6.

Transfer 590µL of the supernatant to an NMR tube for each sample

Note
No stickers/labels on the caps and tubes allowed

1.7.

Vortex the samples for 0h 0m 10s

1.8.

Add 600µL of 100% cold methanol to 300µL of samples On ice

  • Use 1.5-mL tubes
1.9.

Thaw samples On ice or at 4°C

20.
