Breath Analysis Using Photoionization Mass Spectrometry
REMPI (Resonantly Enhanced Multi Photon Ionization) is an ultra-sensitive analytical technique based on the unique combination of laser spectroscopy and mass spectrometry that can rapidly identify and quantify vapor-phase constituents present at part per trillion levels. We have used this method to examine human breath samples for biomarkers of infection. Based on the observed results, we estim...
متن کاملMultiple Breath Nitrogen Washout: A Feasible Alternative to Mass Spectrometry
BACKGROUND The lung clearance index (LCI), measured by multiple breath washout (MBW), reflects global ventilation inhomogeneity and is a sensitive marker of early cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. Current evidence is based on a customized mass spectrometry system that uses sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as a tracer gas, which is not widely available. Nitrogen (N2) washout may be better suited for c...
متن کاملA fundamental introduction to ion mobility mass spectrometry applied to the analysis of biomolecules.
Chemists are constantly striving for techniques that add dimensions of orthogonality with increased throughput and sample complexity. Ion mobility spectrometry (IM) is a gas-phase separation method that adds new dimensions to mass spectrometry (MS). IM separates gas-phase ions based on their collision cross-section and can be coupled with time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry to yield a powerf...
متن کاملApplied gas chromatography coupled to isotope ratio mass spectrometry.
Compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) by isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) following on-line combustion (C) of compounds separated by gas chromatography (GC) is a relatively young analytical method. Due to its ability to measure isotope distribution at natural abundance level with great accuracy and high precision, GC-C-IRMS has increasingly become the method of choice in authenticity ...
متن کاملPrinciples of electron capture and transfer dissociation mass spectrometry applied to peptide and protein structure analysis.
This tutorial review describes the principles and practices of electron capture and transfer dissociation (ECD/ETD or ExD) mass spectrometry (MS) employed for peptide and protein structure analysis. ExD MS relies on interactions between gas phase peptide or protein ions carrying multiple positive charges with either free low-energy (~1 eV) electrons (ECD), or with reagent radical anions possess...
