Electrospray : Principles and Practice
نویسندگان
چکیده
The basic principles underlying the electrospray process are reviewed without recourse to detailed discussion of mechanisms. The essential features of the practical implementation of electrospray (at various solution Ñow rates) are described and the nature of the resultant gas-phase ion population is discussed. The generation by electrospray of multiply charged ions creates complications in that spectral complexity is increased and the determination of charge number must precede the measurement of mass. Multiple charging is beneÐcial, however, in extending the mass range and improving fragmentation yield in tandem mass spectrometry. The current breadth of application of the technique (including the analysis of non-covalently bound species) and future developments are discussed. 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. (

Principles of the ‘Lingua Franca Approach’ and their implications for pedagogical practice in the Iranian context
AbstractThe last thirty five years have created a challenging situation for Iran and its people: on the one hand, the discriminatory British and American policies towards the country have given rise to considerable bitterness; on the other, we continue to teach both British and American English. If Iranian people wish to play a more active role internationally, it is time to review our English ...
متن کاملInvestigating Underlying Principles to Guide Health Impact Assessment
Background Many countries conduct Health Impact Assessment (HIA) of their projects and policies to predict their positive and negative health impacts. In recent years many guides have been developed to inform HIA practice, largely reflecting local developments in HIA. These guides have often been designed for specific contexts and specific need, making the choice between guides difficult. The o...
متن کاملPretreatment with ultrasonication reduces the size of azelaic acid-chitosan nanoparticles prepared by electrospray
Nowadays, electrospray is becoming a favourable approach for preparing monodispersed nanoparticles. However, this approach is quite recent and requires further works to optimize control over physicochemical properties of its products. This study aimed to determine the possible effects of sonication as a pretreatment to reduce the size of azelaic acid-chitosan particle before using electrospray....
متن کاملDirect sequencing of a disulfide-linked peptide with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry.
Dissociation of disulfide is normally mandatory prior to disulfide peptide sequencing via electrospray ionization collision induced dissociation mass spectrometry (ESI-CID-MS). Herein, a facile method for directly sequencing intact disulfide peptides was proposed. The basic principles involved were electrolyte-enhanced corona discharge in ESI and the following oxidative cleavage reaction.
متن کاملThe Search for Underlying Principles of Health Impact Assessment: Progress and Prospects; Comment on “Investigating Underlying Principles to Guide Health Impact Assessment”
Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a relatively young field of endeavour, and hence, future progress will depend on the planning, implementation and rigorous evaluation of additional HIAs of projects, programmes and policies the world over. In the June 2014 issue of the International Journal of Health Policy and Management, Fakhri and colleagues investigated underlying principles of HIA through ...
