Gas chromatography-atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-APCI-TOFMS) was compared to GC × GC-electron ionization (EI)-TOFMS, GC-EI-TOFMS, GC-chemical ionization (CI)-quadrupole mass spectrometry (qMS), and GC-EI-qMS in terms of reproducibility, dynamic range, limit of detection, and quantification using a mix of 43 metabolites and 12 stable isotope-labele...

BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing coupled with appropriate clinical management is associated with a significant decline in the rate of advanced cervical cancer and associated death. METHODS In this present study, we evaluated the performance of 2 new HPV genotyping methods, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) and surface plasm...

Cromatografia gasosa bidimensional abrangente acoplada à espectrometria de massas por tempo de voo (GC×GC-TOFMS) é uma técnica apropriada para a elucidação da composição molecular de amostras petroquímicas, como óleos biodegradados. Biomarcadores foram separados, identificados e razões de biomarcadores convencionais foram determinados usando cromatografia gasosa acoplada à espectrometria de mas...

Abstract Two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOFMS) is a powerful tool for identification of compounds in complex samples. Herein, we compared the GC GC-TOFMS and systems polar metabolite profiling rice seeds. Forty-seven thirty-six metabolites were detected Korean cultivar, Dongjin, using GC-TOFMS, respectively. The limits detection shikimic,...

Thermal field-flow fractionation (ThFFF) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) have been coupled to yield a powerful combination of techniques for polymer analysis. Thermal FFF's high molecular weight (MW) selectivity and sensitivity to chemical composition are used to separate polydisperse polymers and polymer mixtures into the narrow po...

The principles of time-of-Ñight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) are described with a view to understanding the strengths and weaknesses of this method of mass analysis in the context of current applications of mass spectrometry and the more familiar scanning instruments. Fundamental and instrumental factors a†ecting resolving power, sensitivity and speed are examined. Methods of gating ion population...

This study reports a novel approach utilizing an octahedral CoII(HAPP)(TFA)2 reagent in the presence of H2O2 with analysis by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) to serve as an efficient probe for bulged DNA structures. Elucidation of DNA bulge-specific recognition pathways and cleavage mechanisms is demonstrated by characterization of bulg...

This work demonstrates that with an intrinsic duty cycle of 50% and spectral storage speeds up to 277 spectra s(-1) Hadamard transform time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HT-TOFMS) is a promising detector for any capillary-format separation that can be coupled to MS by electrospray ionization. Complete resolution of the components of a nine-peptide standard was achieved by coupling pressurized-ca...
