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.

Abstract: Surface-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry (SALDI-MS) is an analytical technique enabling direct chemical analysis of solid samples. Analytes could be desorbed/ionized upon nitrogen laser irradiation from a SALDI substrate-coated sample, then analyzed by MS. The substrate is involved in the transfer of laser energy to the analytes, and eventually assists the desorption/ionization of analytes. The analytical performance of SALDI-MS, such as detection sensitivity, is dependent on different parameters of the substrate, such as size, morphology and form. In this thesis, the effects of several substrate parameters on the SALDI process were investigated. SALDI-MS based Imaging Mass Spectrometry (IMS) method was also developed using efficient SALDI substrate identified in the fundamental studies. IMS is a chemical-specific mapping technique which allows parallel mapping of multiple analytes in solid samples. The desorption mechanism of SALDI is investigated using two groups of substrate, the carbon allotropes and the noble metal nanoparticles. Ion desorption efficiency and internal energy transfer were probed and correlated in carbon-based SALDI. It was found that the ion desorption efficiency and internal energy transfer was in opposite order. Substrate that transferred more internal energy to ions did not show higher ion desorption efficiency. This result could not be explained by the Thermal Desorption model which was a generally believed mechanism of the SALDI desorption process. A non-thermal model, the Phase Transition model is proposed to account for the SALDI desorption process. The Phase Transition model suggests that the substrate is melted/ restructured upon laser irradiation, and this will assist ion desorption. The Phase Transition model is supported by the morphological change of carbon substrates after SALDI and high initial velocity of ions desorbed by carbon-based SALDI (> 1,000 ms-1). SALDI-MS is useful for small molecule analysis due to the relatively clean background in the low mass region. SALDI-IMS is developed and applied to the imaging of spatial distribution of small molecules in forensic and biological samples. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was selected as the substrate from several other noble metal NPs. A solvent-free method, argon ion sputtering, was employed for coating AuNPs on sample surface prior to SALDI-IMS analysis. Fine details of the samples, such as the fine pattern of latent fingerprints and handwriting on questioned documents can be preserved and imaged reliably by avoiding the use of solvent. Fatty acids, drugs and ink components can be imaged in forensic samples including latent fingerprints, banknotes and checks. The solvent-free SALDI-IMS method was also applied to image the distribution of metabolites in intact animal tissues. Spatial distributions of neurotransmitters, nucleobases and fatty acids can be imaged from mouse brain and tumor tissue sections. DOI: 10.5353/th_b4714555 Subjects: Mass spectrometry Imaging systems

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By providing both the chemical identity and the spatial organization of each component in biological samples, Imaging Mass Spectrometry (IMS) becomes an emerging tool in clinic and pharmacological study. Most work in IMS has been focused on protein and peptide mapping in biological samples to take advantage of effective analyte ionization in MALDI-MS, and also partially due to the limitation of MALDI-MS in small molecule detection. The focus of my research is to develop novel tools to image spatial distribution of small molecules in biological samples. A surface-based mass spectrometric imaging method, i.e. Desorption/Ionization on Silicon (DIOS), was used for biological surface analysis in the concept-proof investigation. More over, possible proton transferring pathways and impact of local chemical environment have been systematically investigated in the fundamental understanding of ionization mechanism of SALDI-MS. Based on the finding on the SALDI mechanism, a hybrid ionization approach, ME-SALDI has been developed by combing the strength of the conventional MALDI matrix and SALDI, where the improved detection sensitivity with reduced matrix-analyte interference and the improved imaging capability through analysis of mouse brain and heart sections has been demonstrated. In addition, the impact of vacuum stability of matrix in ME-SALDI-IMS applications has been examined. A solvent free, homogenous and reproducible sublimation method has been developed for ionic matrix in ME-SALDI, by which improved vacuum stability and MS detection have been achieved. Furthermore, a new generation of meso-porous oxide substrate was developed as a novel ME-SALDI substrate with a superior storage stability, extended detectable mass range and robust substrate preparation.
Download or read book Evaluation of Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometric Methods in the Forensic Applications of the Analysis of Inks on Paper written by DM. Grim and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fast atom bombardment and laser desorption mass spectrometry (LDMS) provide molecular level information concerning an ink's composition. Two ink-jet printer inks, Ink A containing the cationic dye Methyl Violet 2B, and Ink B containing the anionic dye, Solvent Black, were studied. Both positive and negative ion detection modes of the mass spectrometer were used. LD may be used for the analysis of inks on paper. Once on paper, the ink's solvent system has evaporated, leaving mainly the dyes behind, which are detected using LDMS. An ink fades with time, indicating that the dyes are degrading. Preliminary results from an accelerated aging study of ballpoint pen ink using UV irradiation confirm that dye degradation products are formed. The degradation chemistry follows an oxidative demethylation process for which all products formed are detected using LDMS. Results suggest that LDMS may be developed to determine the relative age of inks.
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.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ambient mass spectrometry (MS) is a new and growing sub-field in MS which has opened new research avenues, particularly for applications relating to the analysis of solid samples. Results on the implementation and application of ambient MS techniques including: desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) and direct analysis in real time (DART) indicated that these techniques could serve as complementary tools for the rapid qualitative screening of pharmaceuticals, allowing up to two orders of magnitude improvement in throughput compared to traditional methods such as liquid chromatography MS. The selectivity of DESI could be enhanced by performing the experiment in the reactive mode. In this mode, complexation reactions between reagents added to the spray solvent and analytes on the sample surface resulted in analyte stabilization, inhibiting fragmentation. They also resulted in a concomitant enhancement in the analyte surface activity, facilitating their evaporation from secondary droplets culminating in an improvement in sensitivity. Also for drug tablets analysis, the analyte signal dependency on DESI geometrical set-up variables could be mitigated following the careful and controlled addition of an isotopically labeled internal standard (IS) to the sample or by spraying samples with a pair of reagents with different affinities for the analyte. Either of these approaches resulted in an analyte-to-IS signal ratio (in the former) or an analyte complex ratio (in the later), which was largely independent of DESI experimental variables allowing quantitative analysis using this technique. DESI MS was also observed to be a very powerful tool for determining the 2-D distribution of various pharmaceutically important compounds on tablet and tissue surfaces. The ability to map the distribution of molecules of interest by DESI MS has very great implications in drug tablet quality control and in determining the role of chemical signals presented on tissue surfaces. DESI was observed to be limited to ionizing molecules of medium to high polarities without much limitation in terms of mass range, whereas DART was better suited for the analysis of molecules within a broader range of polarities, but within a more limited mass range (up to 800 Da approximately). These limitations were circumvented by implementing a novel multimode ambient ion source, desorption electrospray/metastable-induced ionization (DEMI), which combines various aspects of DESI and DART. Initial experiments with the DEMI ion source demonstrated its ability to enable the simultaneous analysis of molecules within a broader range of polarities and masses than DESI and DART alone.
