ZIF‐8@SiO2 core–shell microsphere extraction coupled with liquid chromatography and triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry for the quantitative analysis of four plant growth regulators in navel oranges

Monodisperse silica spheres that comprised a rhombic‐dodecahedral zeolitic imidazolate framework core–shell microsphere were applied in the sample pretreatment of navel orange. A rapid and efficient liquid chromatography with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry method was established for simultaneously quantifying four plant growth regulators, 6‐benzylaminopurin, indole‐3‐acetic acid, indolepropionic acid, 3‐indolebutyric acid, in navel oranges. A satisfactory result was obtained, i.e., the peak area of the four plant growth regulators against concentration was linear with good correlation coefficients of 0.99987–0.99991. Under optimized conditions, the limits of detection were 3.0–59.4 μg/L for the four plant growth regulators. This method was applied to the simultaneous analysis of the four plant growth regulators in commercial samples, and all the detections were confirmed by acquiring transitions for each pesticide in the samples.

Determination of Rare Earth Elements in Navel Oranges from Different Geographical Regions of China by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry

There are three major production bases of navel oranges in China, including Southern Jiangxi Province, Southern Hunan Province, and the Three Gorges District of the Yangtze River. Southern Jiangxi and Southern Hunan are also famous for rare earth elements that are ionic, making them easily passed from soil to plants and fruits. To test the relative enrichment of rare earth elements in navel oranges from these production sites, ICP-MS analysis was performed following a microwave digestion procedure. The concentrations of La, Ce, Pr, and Nd in navel orange peels from Southern Jiangxi and Southern Hunan (1.26–1.86 µg g^?1) were much higher than results from the Three Gorges (0.23–0.46 µg g^?1). Moreover, yttrium is relatively enriched (0.25–0.29 µg g^?1) in navel orange peels from Southern Jiangxi at concentrations almost twice that from Southern Hunan (0.15 µg g^?1). The various concentrations and distribution of rare earth elements offers the possibility of traceability and authentication of navel oranges. Meanwhile, navel orange peels from Southern Jiangxi posed no risk in consumption, based on the maximum limit level (≤0.7 µg g^?1, wet weight) of rare earth elements in food issued in China (GB 2762-2005).     

On-line monitoring of biotechnological processes by gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis of fermentation suspensions

An on-line monitoring system has been developed for the control of a biorreactor for the anaerobic pretreatment of an industrial waste water. The monitoring system is based on a process mass spectrometer with a temperature controlled membrane inlet. The membrane introduction mass spectrometer (MIMS) is coupled with a resistively heated metal gas chromatography capillary column, which serves as a transfer line between the bioreactor and the MIMS. Sampling and injection is performed by means of a pneumatically driven membrane probe, which enables monitoring of soluted and gaseous substances in the fermentation broth. The system can also be coupled to other processes.     

Capillary liquid chromatography-microchip atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometry

A miniaturized nebulizer chip for capillary liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (capillary LC-microchip APCI-MS) is presented. The APCI chip consists of two wafers, a silicon wafer and a Pyrex glass wafer. The silicon wafer has a DRIE etched through-wafer nebulizer gas inlet, an edge capillary insertion channel, a stopper, a vaporizer channel and a nozzle. The platinum heater electrode and pads for electrical connection were patterned on to the Pyrex glass wafer. The two wafers were joined by anodic bonding, creating a microchip version of an APCI-source. The sample inlet capillary from an LC column is directly connected to the vaporizer channel of the APCI chip. The etched nozzle in the microchip forms a narrow sample plume, which is ionized by an external corona needle, and the formed ions are analyzed by a mass spectrometer. The nebulizer chip enables for the first time the use of low flow rate separation techniques with APCI-MS. The performance of capillary LC-microchip APCI-MS was tested with selected neurosteroids. The capillary LC-microchip APCI-MS provides quantitative repeatability and good linearity. The limits of detection (LOD) with a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 3 in MS/MS mode for the selected neurosteroids were 20-1000 fmol (10-500 nmol l(-1)). LODs (S/N = 3) with commercial macro APCI with the same compounds using the same MS were about 10 times higher. Fast heat transfer allows the use of the optimized temperature for each compound during an LC run. The microchip APCI-source provides a convenient and easy method to combine capillary LC to any API-MS equipped with an APCI source. The advantages and potentials of the microchip APCI also make it a very attractive interface in microfluidic APCI-MS.     

Ionization and transmission efficiency in an electrospray ionization—mass spectrometry interface

The ionization and transmission efficiencies of an electrospray ionization (ESI) interface were investigated to advance the understanding of how these factors affect mass spectrometry (MS) sensitivity. In addition, the effects of the ES emitter distance to the inlet, solution flow rate, and inlet temperature were characterized. Quantitative measurements of ES current loss throughout the ESI interface were accomplished by electrically isolating the front surface of the interface from the inner wall of the heated inlet capillary, enabling losses on the two surfaces to be distinguished. In addition, the ES current lost to the front surface of the ESI interface was spatially profiled with a linear array of 340-microm-diameter electrodes placed adjacent to the inlet capillary entrance. Current transmitted as gas-phase ions was differentiated from charged droplets and solvent clusters by measuring sensitivity with a single quadrupole mass spectrometer. The study revealed a large sampling efficiency into the inlet capillary (>90% at an emitter distance of 1 mm), a global rather than a local gas dynamic effect on the shape of the ES plume resulting from the gas flow conductance limit of the inlet capillary, a large (>80%) loss of analyte ions after transmission through the inlet arising from incomplete desolvation at a solution flow rate of 1.0 microL/min, and a decrease in analyte ions peak intensity at lower temperatures, despite a large increase in ES current transmission efficiency.

Global optimization of the infrared matrix-assisted laser desorption electrospray ionization (IR MALDESI) source for mass spectrometry using statistical design of experiments

Design of experiments (DOE) is a systematic and cost-effective approach to system optimization by which the effects of multiple parameters and parameter interactions on a given response can be measured in few experiments. Herein, we describe the use of statistical DOE to improve a few of the analytical figures of merit of the infrared matrix-assisted laser desorption electrospray ionization (IR-MALDESI) source for mass spectrometry. In a typical experiment, bovine cytochrome c was ionized via electrospray, and equine cytochrome c was desorbed and ionized by IR-MALDESI such that the ratio of equine:bovine was used as a measure of the ionization efficiency of IR-MALDESI. This response was used to rank the importance of seven source parameters including flow rate, laser fluence, laser repetition rate, ESI emitter to mass spectrometer inlet distance, sample stage height, sample plate voltage, and the sample to mass spectrometer inlet distance. A screening fractional factorial DOE was conducted to designate which of the seven parameters induced the greatest amount of change in the response. These important parameters (flow rate, stage height, sample to mass spectrometer inlet distance, and laser fluence) were then studied at higher resolution using a full factorial DOE to obtain the globally optimized combination of parameter settings. The optimum combination of settings was then compared with our previously determined settings to quantify the degree of improvement in detection limit. The limit of detection for the optimized conditions was approximately 10 attomoles compared with 100 femtomoles for the previous settings, which corresponds to a four orders of magnitude improvement in the detection limit of equine cytochrome c.
