This work reports the development and optimisation of a negative ion mode on-line LC-ESI-MS/MS method for the sensitive targeted analysis of the key glycolytic intermediates, sugars and sugar phosphates from plants, using a porous graphitic carbon (PGC) stationary phase and an MS compatible mobile phase. Using this newly developed method, separation and detection of a solution of standard compounds is achieved in less than 20min. Target metabolite compounds were identified in plant extracts from their characteristic retention times, and product ion spectra. This on-line PGC-ESI-MS/MS method shows good linearity over the concentration range 0-100microM, selectivity, short analysis time, and limits of detection of 0.1microM for disaccharides trehalose (Tre), sucrose (Suc), and maltose, and 1.5microM for hexose phosphates fructose-6-phosphate (Fru6P), glucose-1-phosphate (Glc1P), and glucose-6-phosphate (Glc6P), and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). This paper describes details of our method and its application to the simultaneous quantitative analysis of soluble sugars and sugar phosphates from Arabidopsis thaliana tissues. We have demonstrated the utility of our method for the analysis of biological samples by applying it to the simultaneous quantitation of changes in soluble sugars and sugar phosphates in A. thaliana Columbia-0 (Col-0) and its starchless phosphoglucomutase (pgm) mutant over a 12-h light/12-h dark growth cycle. 相似文献

Extractable tannins were analysed by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry in two oak species, North American white oak (Quercus alba) and European red oak (Quercus robur). They mainly included various glucose gallic and ellagic acid esters. The structures were partially determined, and they included grandinin/roburin E, castalagin/vescalagin, gallic acid, valoneic acid bilactone, monogalloyl glucose, digalloyl glucose, trigalloyl glucose, ellagic acid rhamnose, quercitrin and ellagic acid. 相似文献

The phenols in beech (Fagus sylvatica), birch (Betula pendula) and ash (Fraxinus excelsior) wood dusts were compared using a mass spectrometer fitted with an electrospray ionisation interface with liquid chromatographic separation. Hardwood dust is a carcinogen, and an analysis of the polyphenol profile is a useful method for identifying the dust source in workplace air. The mass spectrometer was operated in both the negative and positive ion modes. Phenolic compounds were identified by comparing mass spectra and retention times from liquid chromatography with those for standard compounds and data in the literature. The phenol contents of the studied wood species varied considerably, and only a few common compounds were found in them. 相似文献

This work reports the development and application of a negative ion mode online LC-ESI-MS method for studying the effect of water deficit on the carbohydrate content of Lupinus albus stems, using a porous graphitic carbon (PGC) stationary phase and an ion trap mass spectrometer. Using this method, separation and detection of several water soluble carbohydrates, ranging from mono-, di-, and oligosaccharides (raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose) to sugar alcohols was achieved in approximately 10 min. This on-line PGC-LC-ESI-MS method shows good linearity with correlation coefficients R(2)>0.99, selectivity, short analysis time, and limits of detection (LOD) ranging from 0.4 to 9 pmol for sugars and 4-20 pmol for sugar alcohols. This PGC-LC-ESI-MS method is sensitive and allowed us to detect even small alterations in carbohydrate levels in L. albus stems that resulted from a mild/early water deficit (nmol g(-1)DW). This paper describes details of our method and its application to the quantitative analysis of water soluble underivatised carbohydrates extracted from L. albus stem tissues that have been subjected to early and severe water deficit conditions, followed by a rewatering period. 相似文献

We developed a simple and reliable analytical method for the quantification and the characterization of ceramides extracted from biological samples by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (ESI/MS/MS). The chromatographic separation of analytes was carried out in a RP8 column, eluting with a methanol-water mixture in gradient elution mode. The separated lipids were detected by total ion monitoring and characterised by MS/MS spectra; quantitative analysis was performed by integrating the extracted ion peaks obtained in the negative ion mode. Good repeatability was obtained for retention time (0.3-2%), peak area ratio (A(S)/A(IS), 2-8%), as well as limit of detection (LOD, 5-26 pg) and quantification (LOQ, 13-53 pg). The method was validated for the analysis of N-palmitoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine (Cer16), N-stearoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine (Cer18), N-tetracosanoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine (N24:0, lignoceric ceramide, Cer24:0), and N-tetracos-15'-enoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine (N24:1, nervonic ceramide, Cer24:1), giving good results. Lipid mixtures, extracted from skin and epidermal cells, were analysed for their content of the studied ceramides. 相似文献

The occurrence and potential adverse effects of pharmaceutical compounds in the aquatic environment have received much scientific interest. Presented are analytical methodologies for the determination of 10 of the pharmaceuticals listed on the Oslo and Paris Commission for the protection of the Marine Environment of the North East Atlantic (OSPAR) hazardous substances website. In addition to these 10 substances, the chemical fluoxetine (Prozac) was also investigated. The performance characteristics of a combined solid phase extraction (SPE) isolation and high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) procedure have been determined. Extraction efficiencies were obtained for a variety of SPE sorbents, following this initial investigation. Strata-X (Phenomenex, UK) was selected for further development. The extraction method performed satisfactorily for the majority of the 11 compounds analysed, with recoveries of over 60% for most of the compounds and relative standard deviations of between 4 and 13%. The recoveries of chloroquine and closantel were below 50% but the method provides semi-quantitative information regarding the occurrence of these compounds. Separation of the analytes was made using a C18 Luna analytical column (Phenomenex, UK) and mass spectra were obtained using an ion trap mass spectrometer operated in both positive and negative electrospray ionisation modes. Limits of detection for all compounds ranged from 1 to 20 ng/l, making the method suitable for low level environmental analysis. Of the selected surface water and treated sewage effluent samples (n = 6) analysed, chlorpromazine, fluoxetine and miconazole were detected in concentrations ranging from 7 to 34 ng/l. The chemicals determined using this procedure fall into a variety of pharmaceutical classes including antipsychotics and tranquilisers resulting in an analytical method that contains compounds from diverse chemical classes. 相似文献

Porous graphitic carbon (PGC) is known as well suited adsorbent for liquid chromatography of carbohydrates. In this work we report on systematic investigations of solvent effects on the retention mechanism of fluorescence labeled malto-oligosaccharides on PGC. The adsorption mechanism was found to depend on the type of organic modifier used in the mobile phase. Positive adsorption enthalpies and entropies, which have already been reported in the literature, were solely produced using acetonitrile. Both alternative solvents (tetrahydrofuran, 2-propanol) yielded in contrast negative enthalpies. As plausible retention mechanism for oligosaccharides on PGC applying acetonitrile as mobile phase component we propose the formation of a dense and highly ordered solvation layer of the PGC surface with the linear acetonitrile molecules. Adsorption of analyte molecules requires a displacement of numerous acetonitrile molecules, which explains the positive enthalpy and entropy values measured. The interplay of enthalpic and entropic contributions to the overall adsorption phenomena results in strongly temperature dependent chromatographic selectivity values. 相似文献

Native cyclodextrin-based columns are particularly useful for the analysis of oligosaccharides because the retention of these carbohydrates is based mainly on the hydrogen bonding interactions of oligosaccharide hydroxyl groups with the stationary phase. Thus, the retention time predictably increases with the number of analyte hydroxyl groups, which corresponds to the elongation of the oligosaccharide chain. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) was used for the separation and characterization of underivatized oligosaccharide mixtures. With the limits of detection as low as 50 pg, all individual components of oligosaccharide mixtures (up to 11 glucose units long) were baseline resolved on a Cyclobond I 2000 column and detected using ESI-MS. Low flow rates and narrow I.D. columns increase the ESI-MS sensitivity significantly. The method showed potential usefulness for the sensitive and quick analysis of hydrolysis products of polysaccharides, and for trace levels of individual oligosaccharide or oligosaccharide isomers from biological systems. 相似文献

A method has been developed and optimised for the determination of two natural estrogens, estrone (E1) and 17beta-estradiol (E2), and one synthetic estrogen, 17alpha-ethynylestradiol (EE2), in river sediments at the sub-ng/g level. This procedure includes microwave-assisted solvent extraction (MASE), solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with electrospray ionisation. Using sediments spiked with the three estrogens at 10 ng/g wet weight, efficient extraction (>92%) of all the three analytes was achieved by MASE, and whole-procedure recoveries ranged from 82 to 98%. Optimisation of the LC separation allowed for substantial reduction of ionisation suppression in the electrospray source to a final level of <18% suppression. Time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) and MS/MS were compared for the analysis of sediment extracts, with the latter technique proving to be the most selective. The method detection limits achieved by LC-MS/MS were 15, 30 and 40 pg/g for E1, E2 and EE2, respectively, which were 13-fold lower than those obtained by LC-TOF-MS. Analysis of river sediments collected from the River Ouse, UK, showed the presence of the natural estrogens at sub-ng/g level. E1 levels ranged from 0.40 ng/g (dry weight) to 3.30 ng/g while E2 levels ranged from <0.03 to 1.20 ng/g and EE2 was never detected (<0.04 ng/g). 相似文献

We examined the utility of a monolithic capillary column in the analysis of pyridylaminated oligosaccharides. Fluorescence detection and mass spectrometry were used to monitor a series of oligosaccharides. Although the total-ion chromatogram appeared similar to that obtained with fluorescence detection, the sensitivity of this technique was limited, especially in the case of smaller oligosaccharides. This limitation was overcome by applying selected ion current monitoring. Further, the capillary column also exhibited good reproducibility. We showed that the retention times obtained by using the monolithic capillary column could be converted into the standard data to enable comparison of the experimental data with the existing data. Furthermore, our studies revealed an important difference in the separation profile, i.e., the monolithic capillary column could resolve smaller oligosaccharides to a greater extent. 相似文献

In this study, we report on the development of a method to confirm simultaneously nine of the most commonly abused synthetic corticosteroids in urine based on liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry. A considerable simplified sample preparation procedure, including liquid-liquid phase extraction with Extrelut-NT3 columns, provided both excellent sample purification and high overall recoveries. Complete HPLC separations were obtained on a reversed-phase column with 1 mM ammonium acetate-acetonitrile (60:40, v/v) as mobile phase. Mass spectral acquisition was done in the negative ion, and selected ion monitoring modes to identify the drugs with at least three characteristic ions. Detection limits were determined at < or =1 ng/ml and the confirmation limits at 1 to 5 ng/ml. 相似文献

High performance liquid chromatography of disaccharides on a porous graphitic carbon column applying post-column derivatization with benzamidine 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary A sensitive post-column fluoresence method based on the reaction of reducing sugars with a fluorigenic reagent (benzamidine) under alkaline conditions and elevated temperature is described. Optimum reaction conditions suitable for the detection of fluorescent reaction products have been investigated. A porous graphitized carbon column (shandon Hypercarb) was employed as the chromatographic solid phase and elution was isocratic by an aqueous acetonitrile mixture.A special problem in sugar analysis is the tendendy of anomer formation giving doublet peaks. This tendency varies largely among the different sugars, and systematic studies on conditions that eliminate this problem were performed. Efficient and selective separations of a series of disaccharides were obtained using high temperatures and a low concentration of acetonitrile in the mobile phase. The detection limits (S/N=3) with an injection volume of 20 L ranged from 10–60 picomoles. Linear calibration graphs were obtained in the 2–20 M concentration range (r
2>0.99). A relative standard deviation between 1–3% (n=6) demonstrated good precision of the developed system.Deceased July 21, 1996 相似文献

The study of several structural variations (the length, the degree of unsaturation and hydroxylation of the alkyl chains, the number and nature of osidic residues) helped understand the behaviour of neutral glycosphingolipids (GSLs) on porous graphitic carbon stationary phase (PGC). Atmospheric pressure photoionization mass spectrometry (APPI) and tandem mass spectrometry were used to perform the detection and the identification of molecular species in positive mode where [M+H](+) and [M-H(2)O+H](+) ions provided structural information on the fatty acid and the sphingoid base. The retention of GSLs increased with the hydrocarboneous volume of their alkyl chains and with the number of osidic residues in agreement with hydrophobic properties and polar retention effect of graphite, respectively. The presence of polar groups, such as OH-group or double bond within alkyl chains, decreased their retention. The coupling of chromatography on PGC with APPI tandem mass spectrometry detection appeared a powerful technique to discriminate isobaric molecules. Isobaric solutes differing by the position of two double bonds or by the repartition of hydrocarboneous skeleton were discriminated according to their chromatographic comportment or their mass spectrum, respectively. Among isobaric molecules, only few structures differing by the nature of osidic residue were not discriminated (i.e. glucosylceramide and galactosylceramide with similar ceramide skeleton were co-eluted and no difference in mass spectra was observed). 相似文献

High separation temperatures in liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry with a porous graphitic carbon column were investigated. Separation temperature was varied up to 200 degrees C, and the effect on retention, analysis time, and sensitivity was measured. Analysis times were reduced more than six-fold, whilst baseline resolution was maintained. The impact of the separation temperature on signal-to-noise ratio with atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation or electrospray mass spectrometric detection was also investigated. The potential of using superheated water for the analysis of some very polar compounds is illustrated. Monitoring of column stability detected no loss of performance, due to the highly stable nature of the 100% carbon stationary phase. 相似文献

Determination of the plant growth regulator chlormequat in food by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A confirmatory method for the determination of trace levels of chlormequat in a variety of different food matrices was developed. It entails a single clean-up step over a solid-phase cation exchange resin and subsequent liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry using a stable isotopically labelled internal standard. Mass spectral acquisition was done in selected reaction monitoring mode, selecting the transitions from both the 35Cl and the 37Cl isotope of chlormequat. Recoveries after extraction and clean-up, determined with radio-labelled chlormequat and averaged over the spiking range (16-65 microg kg(-1)) in four different commodities, were within 88-96%, with a coefficient of variation better than 8%. The method can be applied to pears, pear juice concentrates, fruit purées, and cereal products, with typical limits of detection for chlormequat estimated at 2-5 microg kg(-1). A survey of different food commodities revealed that chlormequat was detectable--albeit at very low levels--in many of the food samples analysed, with the highest concentration recorded in pears purchased in Switzerland and of South African origin (5.5 mg kg(-1)). Measurements were also conducted on two LC-MS instruments and demonstrate the versatility and robustness of the method and its applicability to instruments of different ion source design. 相似文献

Quantitative determination of five ergot alkaloids in rye flour by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A confirmatory method for detecting five ergot alkaloids, ergocristine, ergotamine, ergonovine, ergocornine and alpha-ergokryptine, in rye flour is described using high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry detection by monitoring two transition reactions per analyte. The procedure entails a liquid-liquid extraction followed by a clean-up step using a C18 solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge. An analogue compound, methysergide hydrogen maleinate, was used to assess both repeatability sample preparation and potential MS response fluctuations. The method was fully validated according to the European Union (EU) criteria. Detection and quantification limits of all analytes were calculated ranging from 7 to 11 microg/kg and from 23 to 37 microg/kg, respectively. Fifteen rye flour samples were investigated with the newly developed method, and none of them were above the current Swiss limits of 200mg/kg for total ergot alkaloids. 相似文献

The analysis of intact neutral oligosaccharides by on-line liquid chromatography/thermospray mass spectrometry is described. Molecular-weight information on oligomers up to a degree of polymerization of 10 is obtained using an aqueous mobile phase containing 10(-4) mol/L sodium acetate, which was found to be compatible with thermospray interfacing and ionization. Ions due to sodiated and disodiated oligosaccharides are observed under these conditions without fragmentation. The aqueous 10(-4) mol/L sodium acetate mobile phase is demonstrated to be applicable in the separation of mixtures of oligosaccharides on a reversed-phase octadecyl-modified silica column. 相似文献

We report the first development of a novel, planar, microfluidic, graphitic carbon separations column utilizing an array of graphitic micropillars of diamond cross-section as the chromatographic stationary phase. 795 nm femtosecond laser ablation was employed to subtractively machine fluidic architectures and a micropillared array in a planar, graphitic substrate as a monolithic structure. A sample injector was integrated on-chip, together with fluid-flow distribution architectures to minimize band-broadening and ensure sample equi-distribution across the micro-pillared column width. The separations chip was interfaced directly to the ESI probe of a Thermofisher Surveyor mass spectrometer, enabling the detection of test-mixture analytes following their differential retention on the micro-pillared graphitic column, thus demonstrating the exciting potential of this novel separations format. Importantly, unlike porous, graphitic microspheres, the temperature and pressure resilience of the microfluidic device potentially enables use in subcritical H(2)O chromatography. 相似文献

This study details the sensitivity achieved with capillary columns when used with a micro-HPLC-electrospray ionization MS system. It is comprised of two sections, the first is the comparative study of three columns, one of narrow-bore diameter and two of capillary diameter. The second section compares three columns of decreasing diameter in the capillary scale. All the experiments achieved enhanced sensitivity using capillary columns. The increase in the experimental MS response ranged from -20% to +20% compared to the UV experimental response when decreasing the internal diameter of the columns used. When comparing the experimental MS response to the maximum theoretical UV response achievable, the increase in response ranged from 40 to 50%. 相似文献
