Determination of peanut allergens in cereal-chocolate-based snacks: metal-tag inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry immunoassay versus liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry

A comparison of two methods for the identification and determination of peanut allergens based on europium (Eu)-tagged inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) immunoassay and on liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) with a triple quadrupole mass analyzer was carried out on a complex food matrix like a chocolate rice crispy-based snack. The LC/MS/MS method was based on the determination of four different peptide biomarkers selective for the Ara h2 and Ara h3/4 peanut proteins. The performance of this method was compared with that of a non-competitive sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method with ICP-MS detection of the metal used to tag the antibody for the quantitative peanut protein analysis in food. The limit of detection (LOD) and quantitation of the ICP-MS immunoassay were 2.2 and 5 microg peanuts g(-1) matrix, respectively, the recovery ranged from 86 +/- 18% to 110 +/- 4% and linearity was proved in the 5-50 microg g(-1) range. The LC/MS/MS method allowed us to obtain LODs of 1 and 5 microg protein g(-1) matrix for Ara h3/4 and Ara h2, respectively, thus obtaining significantly higher values with respect to the ELISA ICP-MS method, taking into account the different expression for concentrations. Linearity was established in the 10-200 microg g(-1) range of peanut proteins in the food matrix investigated and good precision (RSD <10%) was demonstrated. Both the two approaches, used for screening or confirmative purposes, showed the power of mass spectrometry when used as a very selective detector in difficult matrices even if some limitations still exist, i.e. matrix suppression in the LC/ESI-MS/MS procedure and the change of the Ag/Ab binding with matrix in the ICP-MS method.     

Rapid monitoring of sulfur mustard degradation in solution by headspace solid-phase microextraction sampling and gas chromatography mass spectrometry

A method using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) followed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis has been developed to gain insight into the degradation of the chemical warfare agent sulfur mustard in solution. Specifically, the described approach simplifies the sample preparation for GC/MS analysis to provide a rapid determination of changes in sulfur mustard abundance. These results were found to be consistent with those obtained using liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) GC/MS. The utility of the described approach was further demonstrated by the investigation of the degradation process in a complex matrix with surfactant added to assist solvation of sulfur mustard. A more rapid reduction in sulfur mustard abundance was observed using the HS-SPME approach with surfactant present and was similar to results from LLE experiments. Significantly, this study demonstrates that HS-SPME can simplify the sample preparation for GC/MS analysis to monitor changes in sulfur mustard abundance in solution more rapidly, and with less solvent and reagent usage than LLE.     

The development and assessment of high‐throughput mass spectrometry‐based methods for the quantification of a nanoparticle drug delivery agent in cellular lysate

The safe use of lipid‐based drug delivery agents requires fast and sensitive qualitative and quantitative assessment of their cellular interactions. Many mass spectrometry (MS) based analytical platforms can achieve such task with varying capabilities. Therefore, four novel high‐throughput MS‐based quantitative methods were evaluated for the analysis of a small organic gene delivery agent: N,N‐bis(dimethylhexadecyl)‐1,3‐propane‐diammonium dibromide (G16‐3). Analysis utilized MS instruments that detect analytes using low‐resolution tandem MS (MS/MS) analysis (i.e. QTRAP or linear ion trap in this work) or high‐resolution MS analysis (i.e. time of flight (ToF) or Orbitrap). Our results indicate that the validated fast chromatography (FC)‐QTRAP‐MS/MS, FC‐ LTQ‐Orbitrap‐MS, desorption electrospray ionization‐collision‐induced dissociation (CID)‐MS/MS and matrix assisted laser desorption ionization‐ToF/ToF‐MS MS methods were superior in the area of method development and sample analysis time to a previously developed liquid chromatography (LC)‐CID‐MS/MS. To our knowledge, this is the first evaluation of the abilities of five MS‐based quantitative methods that target a single pharmaceutical analyte. Our findings indicate that, in comparison to conventional LC‐CID‐MS/MS, the new MS‐based methods resulted in a (1) substantial reduction in the analysis time, (2) reduction in the time required for method development and (3) production of either superior or comparable quantitative data. The four new high‐throughput MS methods, therefore, were faster, more efficient and less expensive than a conventional LC‐CID‐MS/MS for the quantification of the G16‐3 analyte within tissue culture. When applied to cellular lysate, no significant change in the concentration of G16‐3 gemini surfactant within PAM212 cells was observed between 5 and 53 h, suggesting the absence of any metabolism/excretion from PAM212 cells.

Liquid—liquid sandwich-transfer extraction: optimization and analytical use

The feasibility of using liquid-liquid sandwich-transfer extraction methods as fast analytical tools was examined. The effect of surfactant, acid and base concentrations on the stability of the sandwich membrane was tested. The possibility of using this method in pre-concentration processes was investigated for chromium(VI). The rate of transfer extraction of radioactive ⁵¹Cr from aqueous sulphuric acid to sodium hydroxide solution was found to be rapid at reasonable concentrations (1%) of the sandwich reagent tri-n-octylamine.     

Rapid screening of anthocyanins in berry samples by surfactant-mediated matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry

Surfactant-mediated matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) has been used for the identification of flavonoids from three berry extracts: lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium), lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea), and blackberry (Rubus armeniacus). The addition of the surfactant led to suppression of matrix ions from both alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) and 2',4',6'-trihydroxyacetophenone (THAP). This is the first case of this method being successfully employed with a matrix other than CHCA. It was observed that CHCA led to a great deal of fragmentation of the sugar moiety from glycosides, whereas THAP produced more intact glycoside molecules, and thus leads to better characterization of the flavonoids in a berry sample. The flavonoids were characterized and quantified by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS) with UV detection. Although MALDI-TOF-MS did not lead to the identification of as many flavonoids, it did enable us to identify many anthocyanin glycosides. Quantification was achieved and demonstrated that use of the THAP matrix can enable quantification of the intact glycosides with relative standard deviation (RSD) values of less than 10% with surfactant addition. These results are comparable with LC results. MALDI-TOF-MS with THAP matrix thus provided a rapid method for the qualitative screening of these compounds. It took only a few minutes, greatly reducing the analysis time from that in traditional LC/MS methods.     

The effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate and anion‐exchange silica gel on matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometric analysis of proteins

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), an anionic surfactant, is widely used in peptide and protein sample preparation. When the sample is analyzed by matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI‐MS), this surfactant can often cause signal suppression. We have previously reported an on‐probe sample preparation method using a suspension of anion‐exchange silica gel and sinapinic acid (i.e., gel‐SA suspension) as a matrix, thereby greatly improving the MALDI signal detection of the protein solutions containing SDS. In this study, we found that a certain amount of SDS enhanced the MALDI signal intensity for protein samples. This effect was also observed when using sodium decyl sulfate and sodium tetradecyl sulfate instead of SDS. Furthermore, this on‐probe sample preparation method using both SDS and the gel‐SA suspension improved the detection limit of protein samples in the MALDI‐MS analysis by about ten‐fold as compared to that of protein samples without SDS and the gel‐SA suspension. This method can be applied not only to the MALDI‐MS analysis of samples containing SDS, but also to the examination of proteins at femtomole levels or insoluble proteins such as membrane proteins.

Structural characterization of native high-methoxylated pectin using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and ultraviolet matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Comparative use of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid and nor-harmane as UV-MALDI matrices

The successful analysis by ultraviolet matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UV-MALDI-TOF MS) of native and hydrolyzed high-methoxylated pectin samples is described. In order to find the optimal conditions for UV-MALDI-TOF MS analysis several experimental variables were studied such as: different UV-MALDI matrices (nor-harmane, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid), sample preparation methods (mixture, sandwich), inorganic salt addition (doping salts, NaCl, KCl, NH(4)Cl), ion mode (positive, negative), linear and reflectron mode, etc. nor-Harmane has never been used as a UV-MALDI matrix for the analysis of pectins but its use avoids pre-treatment of the sample, such as an enzymatic digestion or an acid hydrolysis, and there is no need to add salts, making the analysis easier and faster. This study suggested an alternative way of analyzing native high-methoxylated pectins, with UV-MALDI-TOF MS, by using nor-harmane as the matrix in negative ion mode. The analysis by (1)H and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of the native and hydrolyzed pectin is also briefly described.     

Rapid drug-screening of clandestine tablets by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry

A novel method for the rapid screening of clandestine tablets for drugs by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry is described. In this method, cetrimonium bromide (CTAB), a surfactant, is added to the conventional α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) matrix solution used in preparing the MALDI samples. This procedure allows very clean mass spectra to be collected for amphetamine, methamphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), caffeine, ketamine and tramadol. The method was used successfully in the rapid drug-screening of some actual clandestine tablets, which had been seized from the illicit market, and can serve as a good complementary method to GC/MS for use in forensic analysis.     

QuEChERS sample preparation followed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography – tandem mass spectrometry for rapid screening of dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium salt in avian egg tissue

A quantification method was developed for the determination of dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium salt (DOSS) in avian egg samples based on a QuEChERS extraction technique followed by UPLC-MS/MS analysis. DOSS is an anionic surfactant that is part of the Corexit^® 9500 dispersive mixture that prevents the formation of oil slicks on water bodies. It was extensively used when the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and a large amount of crude oil was released into the Gulf of Mexico. QuEChERS provided a simple, effective and time saving sample preparation method prior to analysis without reducing analytical sensitivity and became an excellent substitute to lengthy traditional extraction methods. Weak anionic exchange cleanup significantly reduced matrix effects and improved analyte sensitivity. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography provided an effective separation method, while MS/MS provided the necessary selectivity and increased sensitivity. Our method achieved baseline separation of DOSS, surrogate (sodium octyl sulfate – d17) and the internal standard (sodium dioctyl sulfate – d25), with limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantitation (LOQ) for DOSS being 260 and 500 pg/mL, respectively. Quality control recoveries were 70.5 ± 7.3% (mean ± standard deviation, n = 3) for the laboratory control sample and 72.4 ± 4.9% (n = 3) for the matrix spike. The extraction efficiency was monitored by adding surrogate compound to every sample with recoveries of 104.6 ± 14.1 for SDS-d1 and 81.8 ± 6.8 for SOS-d17. Currently, limited peer reviewed scientific data are reported on the effects of oil dispersants on the environment. Our analytical method for the determination of DOSS in avian egg matrix can be used to provide reliable data on the fate and effects of DOSS in biological systems.     

Direct screening of herbal blends for new synthetic cannabinoids by MALDI‐TOF MS

Since 2004, a number of herbal blends containing different synthetic compounds mimicking the pharmacological activity of cannabinoids and displaying a high toxicological potential have appeared in the market. Their availability is mainly based on the so‐called “e‐commerce”, being sold as legal alternatives to cannabis and cannabis derivatives. Although highly selective, sensitive, accurate, and quantitative methods based on GC–MS and LC–MS are available, they lack simplicity, rapidity, versatility and throughput, which are required for product monitoring. In this context, matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization‐time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS) offers a simple and rapid operation with high throughput. Thus, the aim of the present work was to develop a MALDI‐TOF MS method for the rapid qualitative direct analysis of herbal blend preparations for synthetic cannabinoids to be used as front screening of confiscated clandestine preparations. The sample preparation was limited to herbal blend leaves finely grinding in a mortar and loading onto the MALDI plate followed by addition of 2 µl of the matrix/surfactant mixture [α‐cyano‐4‐hydroxy‐cinnamic acid/cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)]. After drying, the sample plate was introduced into the ion source for analysis. MALDI‐TOF conditions were as follows: mass spectra were analyzed in the range m/z 150–550 by averaging the data from 50 laser shots and using an accelerating voltage of 20 kV. The described method was successfully applied to the screening of 31 commercial herbal blends, previously analyzed by GC–MS. Among the samples analyzed, 21 contained synthetic cannabinoids (namely JWH‐018, JWH‐073, JWH‐081, JWH‐250, JWH‐210, JWH‐019, and AM‐694). All the results were in agreement with GC–MS, which was used as the reference technique. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
