Use of porous graphitic carbon for the analysis of nitrate ester, nitramine and nitroaromatic explosives and by-products by liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation-mass spectrometry

A new LC/MS method was developed for the analysis of sixteen different analytes including the most common organic explosives encountered in forensic investigations. The separation was achieved using a porous graphitic carbon (PGC) column with a binary gradient elution. Molecular modeling suggested a possible interpretation for the elution order of explosive compounds on PGC. The introduction of ammonium formate in the mobile phase resulted in the formation of characteristic adduct ions thus enhancing the mass spectrometric detection of nitrate ester and nitramine compounds. Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and electrospray ionization (ESI) were compared in terms of sensitivity. The final LC/APCI-MS method allowed easy identification of investigated compounds with limits of detection ranging from 0.04 to 1.06 ng/microl. The analysis of simulated forensic samples confirmed the performance of the method.

Influence of boric acid on electrospray ionization efficiency

Liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass-spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) was used to analyze 9-fluorenylmethylmethoxycarbonyl chloride (Fmoc-Cl) and diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate (Deemm) derivatives of three amino acids and five other compounds. Influence of boric acid on their ionization was investigated and dramatic impact on the signal was observed. The strongest signal suppression (6% of signal remains) was observed for the Deemm derivative of beta-Alanine (with ammonium acetate in eluent). With only formic acid as the eluent pH modifier, signal enhancement was observed, being largest for Fmoc-Cl derivative of Phenylalanine, 267%. Investigation of the influence of boric acid shows that it is a possible signal enhancer for LC-ESI-MS analysis.     

Application of a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method to the analysis of water-soluble vitamins in Italian pasta

A sensitive and selective liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the determination of several water-soluble vitamins, namely vitamins B₁, B₂, B₆ (pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine), and PP (nicotinamide and nicotinic acid), pantothenic acid, and folic acid was developed and validated. The analytes were characterized by means of their electrospray (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) mass spectra. In general, the positive ion spectra were 100- to 1000-fold more intense than the corresponding negative ion ones. Chromatography of water-soluble vitamins was obtained by using a reversed-phase C16 Amide (15 cm, 5 μm) column and a mobile phase made of ammonium formate buffer (20 mM, pH 3.75)/methanol under gradient elution conditions. Linearity of the MS response was observed over three to four orders for both ESI and APCI, and limits of detection were in the low μg/l range for both the ionization techniques. In particular, the sensitivity of ESI was about two- to five-fold higher for all vitamins except PP vitamers, for which APCI produced a better response. Precision calculated at two concentration levels (0.05 and 1.0 mg/l) was within 0.2-7.4% for all intra- and inter-day determinations and for all analytes. The LC-ESI-MS/MS method was applied to the quantitative analysis of the natural content of vitamins in typical Italian pasta samples, as well as in fortified pasta samples produced for the US market.     

Separation of polar mushroom toxins by mixed-mode hydrophilic and ionic interaction liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry

Reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) is commonly used to analyze nonvolatile contaminants and naturally occurring toxins in foods. However, polar compounds, such as hydrophilic polypeptides and quaternary ammonium salts, are often not satisfactorily separated by RPLC and present a challenge for analytical scientists. In this study, hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC), on an amide-based stationary phase in combination with electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS), is successfully employed to simultaneously separate polar mushroom toxins, including amanitins and phallotoxins, which are cyclic oligopeptides and muscarine, a quaternary ammonium compound, in mushrooms. The sensitivity of different ionization modes is studied, and the positive ionization mode is found to provide a more sensitive and effective tool for the unambiguous identification of the concerned polar toxins because of their characteristic fragmentation patterns. The properties of the mobile phase are also found to have significant impacts on the separation. At a high acetonitrile (ACN) concentration, hydrophilic interaction dominates, and all analytes under study demonstrate a much higher affinity with the stationary phase. The addition of methanol (MeOH) as a modifier could further enhance the HILIC separation for amanitins, phallotoxins, and muscarine. Valley-to-valley separation is achieved upon the optimatizatiqn of the mobile phase (comprising of ACN, MeOH, and ammonium formate buffer at pH approximately 3.5) and the solvent gradient. HILIC coupled with ESI-MS-MS is demonstrated to be a novel technique for the simultaneous separation and confirmatory analysis of the concerned polar toxins by providing an environment of solubility and retention that could not be achieved through the use of RPLC.

Analysis of triglycerides in food items by desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

The triglyceride composition and oxidation behavior of edible oil and margarine samples were analyzed by desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI‐MS). For the characterization of the lipids, the chain length and the degree of unsaturation of the fatty acids were determined. The measurements were carried out in positive ion mode; the triglycerides were detected as alkali metal or ammonium adducts. The DESI solvent was water/methanol 1:1 (v/v); measurements were carried out both with and without the addition, as an ionizing agent, of ammonium acetate that enhances the signal intensity of the ammonium adduct ions. The spectra were interpreted for both cases and intensities were compared. Triglyceride monomers and dimers were observed in the spectra. Tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) measurements were carried out to determine the structure of the triglycerides. It was demonstrated that the terminal fatty acids in the sn1‐ or sn3‐position are more likely to be cleaved than the internal fatty acid (sn2‐position). Characteristic triglyceride patterns were obtained using a simple and rapid sample preparation protocol comprising the simple deposition of samples onto a glass carrier surface. The triglyceride data was analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA). The different edible oils were clearly separated and the hydrogenated derivatives were identified by their triglyceride spectra. The oxidation of the oil samples was observed and the oxidation products were detected and identified. This method provides a fast and simple technique for the detection and analysis of triglycerides in oil‐ or fat‐containing samples ranging from food items to tissue samples. The potential application areas include nutritional studies, the food industry and cosmetics. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Fully automated micro- and nanoscale one- or two-dimensional high-performance liquid chromatography system for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry compatible with non-volatile salts for ion exchange chromatography

A one- or two-dimensional high performance liquid chromatography system for electrospray ionization mass spectrometers has been developed that is optimized for ion exchange and reversed phase separations. A unique and simple valve configuration permits the use of a variety of non-volatile salts; ammonium sulfate was used in an example of strong cation exchange separations. The system was designed and evaluated for both micro- and nanoflow chromatography. The peptide detection limit was approximately 100 fmol for micro- and 20 fmol for nanoflow, demonstrating the concentration and mass sensitivity improvements expected with nanoelectrospray ionization. The 1D/2D-HPLC MS system is fully automated for routine peptide analyses, compatible with direct injection of proteolytic digests, and exhibits chromatographic reproducibility and sensitivity. Software permits operator selection of either a 1D or 2D configuration with corresponding system parameters as required for individual samples. The hardware elements and resulting performance are described in this paper.
