Book Nanomaterials for Liquid Chromatography and Laser Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry

Download or read book Nanomaterials for Liquid Chromatography and Laser Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry written by Tian Lu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tian Lu's dissertation describes major advances in ultrathin-layer chromatography (UTLC), liquid chromatography and surface-assisted laser desorption ionization (SALDI), and matrix-enhanced SALDI (ME-SALDI) mass spectrometry. Lu describes the fabrication of electrospun polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) UTLC plates using an in-situ crosslinking electrospinning technique. The author improved the efficiency of PVA plates greatly compared to the efficiency of silica HPTLC plates. Also highlighted in this thesis is an edge-plane based ordered-carbon surface that provides unique selectivity in liquid chromatography. Further developments include polar analytes, such as amino acids, nucleotides and nucleosides which can be well-retained and separated in the edge-plane ordered-carbon stationary phase. Also, the author studied and detected mass spectra of organic polymers as high as 900,000 Da, the highest molecular weight that has been studied by SALDI to date using the carbon nanofibrous substrate. This thesis has led to a number of publications in high-impact journals.

Book Small Molecule Matrix free Laser Desorption ionization Mass Spectrometry

Download or read book Small Molecule Matrix free Laser Desorption ionization Mass Spectrometry written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modified Si wafers and nanoparticles (5-50 nm) have been developed and explored to assist laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) for small molecule analysis. DIOS (desorption/ionization on silicon) plates were prepared according to published protocols. DIOS was tested and compared with the optimized silicon nanoparticles derivatized by penterfluorophenylchlorosilane (PFP). SPALDI (Si nanoparticle assisted LDI) requires less laser flux than common MALDI and DIOS thus provides significant less background and higher ionization efficiency. It has higher surface homogeneity, relative salt tolerance and high selectivity which may origin from analyte dependent pre-charging. Surface characterization has been investigated. And different analytes including drugs, peptides, pesticides and acids in both biological and environmental samples have been applied by positive or negative ionization mode. Detection limits, down to the low femtomole per microliter levels have been achieved for propafenone and verapamil. SPALDI is an easily applicable practical tool at a potential low cost.

Book Development of Matrix assisted Laser Desorption ionization and Liquid Chromatography   Electrospray Ionization Based Mass Spectrometric Techniques for Characterizing and Quantifying Endogenous and Therapeutic Biomolecules

Download or read book Development of Matrix assisted Laser Desorption ionization and Liquid Chromatography Electrospray Ionization Based Mass Spectrometric Techniques for Characterizing and Quantifying Endogenous and Therapeutic Biomolecules written by Bingming Chen and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Endogenous biomolecules, such as neuropeptide, protein and carbohydrates, play important roles in biological and physiological processes. Over the last two decades, therapeutic biomolecules, including therapeutic peptides, proteins and monoclonal antibodies, have become large and fast-growing segments of the pharmaceutical industry. However, analyzing biomolecules is challenging due to their large size, complex structure and various modifications. In situ analysis of biomolecules is even more challenging due to the large dynamic range and complex microenvironments on tissue surface. In this dissertation, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) and liquid chromatography (LC) -- electrospray ionization (ESI) based mass spectrometric techniques were developed to characterize and quantify endogenous and therapeutic biomolecules. Specifically, this work developed novel ionization techniques and mass spectrometry imaging workflows to study the sequence and in situ distribution of biomolecules on high resolution accurate mass instrument platforms. Moreover, absolute or relative quantifications of biomolecules, such as therapeutic peptide or N-glycans, were measured by cutting-edge quantification workflows. In summary, this work not only improves current analytical methodology for characterizing biomolecules, but also demonstrates its potential applications in pharmaceutical industry and clinical settings.

Book Laser Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry Based on Nanophotonic Structure  From Material Design to Mechanistic Understanding

Download or read book Laser Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry Based on Nanophotonic Structure From Material Design to Mechanistic Understanding written by Moon-Ju Kim and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-11 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents innovative laser desorption ionization (LDI)-active nanophotonic structures for addressing the challenges that matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) is currently facing and for enhancing LDI efficiency. It presents a variety of cutting-edge nanophotonic structures to satisfy the mass-analytical needs of sensitivity, reproducibility, and quantification. As opposed to the commercialized, conventional organic matrix used in MALDI-MS, these nanostructures are validated to be highly effective in detecting small metabolites and drugs, highlighting their considerable potential in the mass spectrometry field. It also systematically elucidates fundamental LDI processes in terms of the photo-thermal, electronic, and structural characteristics of nanophotonic structures, offering mechanistic knowledge of LDI-MS. Even though LDI-MS performance is heavily influenced by a number of nanostructure parameters, relatively little is known about the LDI processes associated with those characteristics. An in-depth understanding of nanostructure characteristics and LDI mechanisms thus paves the way for more effective, rational design and development of nanostructures with improved LDI capabilities. Further, with a focus on multiple cascades in nanostructure functions in response to laser pulse stimuli, this book provides detailed, step-by-step procedures to design and construct a nanophotonic, LDI-active platform, which may serve as a roadmap for graduate students in the field of mass spectrometry. Readers, including graduate students, researchers, and experts working in the related areas of mass spectrometry, nanophotonics, and material science and material engineering, will find a wealth of useful information in this book.

Book Laser Desorption Ionisation of Forensically Significant Samples  An Investigation Into Low Mass Analysis

Download or read book Laser Desorption Ionisation of Forensically Significant Samples An Investigation Into Low Mass Analysis written by Rachel West and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forensically significant samples, such as drugs and propellants can be analysed using a range of standard techniques like Hight Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GCMS). These methods can often be time-consuming, require complex sample preparation or extraction, with multiple steps and additional components. The drug samples investigated are those that have been inlaid in fibres, in this form to either mimic oral fluid based roadside drug tests or drug laden clothing and other fabrics used in smuggling cases. The analysis of these samples is important and can be complicated by the need for extraction of the analytes from the fibres and the possible destruction of evidence required to perform said analysis. -- Laser Desorption Ionization (LDI) techniques are an intriguing alternative to these standard techniques as they can perform high throughput analysis with little sample preparation and often generate simple spectra. LDI is highly sensitive and specific and is compatible with less stable sample-types. -- The initial issue for LDI analysis of drug samples was associated with low mass interference experienced when such low mass analytes encounter similar mass matrices. Several alternatives to traditional matrices were explored, and it was successfully overcome for on-plate and fibre-based analyses using a layer of gold nanomaterials which provided increased laser absorption without the low mass interference. -- LDI was also explored as a method of analysing complex propellant samples. Propellants contain several different species, which vary among manufacturers and as samples age. They often require multiple techniques for their analysis with different sample preparation techniques. LDI was compared to standard techniques as well as some more interesting alternatives, to successfully differentiate several diverse propellant samples.
