Comparison of LC and LC/MS methods for quantifying <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-glycosylation in recombinant IgGs

High-performance liquid chromatography (LC) and liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS) methods with various sample preparation schemes were compared for their ability to identify and quantify glycoforms in two different production lots of a recombinant monoclonal IgG1 antibody. IgG1s contain a conserved N-glycosylation site in the fragment crystallizable (Fc) subunit. Six methods were compared: (1) LC/ESI-MS analysis of intact IgG, (2) LC/ESI-MS analysis of the Fc fragment produced by limited proteolysis with Lys-C, (3) LC/ESI-MS analysis of the IgG heavy chain produced by reduction, (4) LC/ESI-MS analysis of Fc/2 fragment produced by limited proteolysis and reduction, (5) LC/MS analysis of the glycosylated tryptic fragment (293EEQYNSTYR301) using extracted ion chromatograms, and (6) normal phase HPLC analysis of N-glycans cleaved from the IgG using PNGase F. The results suggest that MS quantitation based on the analysis of Fc/2 (4) is accurate and gives results that are comparable to normal phase HPLC analysis of N-glycans (6).     

ToF-SIMS Depth Profiling of Trehalose: The Effect of Analysis Beam Dose on the Quality of Depth Profiles

In static secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) experiments, an analysis dose of 10(12) ions/cm(2) typically produces optimum results. However, the same dose used in dual beam depth profiling can significantly degrade the signal. This is because during each analysis cycle a high-energy beam is rastered across the same x-y location on the sample. If a sufficient amount of sample is not removed during each sputter cycle, the subsequent analysis cycle will sample a volume degraded by the previous analysis cycles. The dimensionless parameter R' is used to relate the amount of damage accumulated in the sample to the amount of analysis beam dose used relative to the etching beam. Depth profiles from trehalose films spin-cast onto silicon wafers acquired using Bi(1) (+) and Bi(3) (+) analysis beams were compared. As R' increased, the depth profile and the depth resolution (interface width) both degraded. At R' values below 0.04 for both Bi(1) (+) and Bi(3) (+), the shape of the profile as well as the depth resolution (9 nm) indicated that dual beam analysis can be superior to C(60) single beam depth profiling.     

Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis in pharmaceutical analysis

This review presents different solvents and electrolytes commonly used as BGEs in NACE for the analysis of pharmaceutical compounds. Most NACE applications carried out since 1998 for the analysis of compounds of pharmaceutical interest are presented in four tables: (i) analysis of drugs and related substances, (ii) analysis of chiral substances, (iii) analysis of phytochemical extracts and (iv) analysis of drugs in biological fluids. These selected examples are used to illustrate the interest in NACE versus conventional aqueous CE.     

Comparison of APPI, APCI and ESI for the LC-MS/MS analysis of bezafibrate, cyclophosphamide, enalapril, methotrexate and orlistat in municipal wastewater

The applicability of three different ionization techniques: atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and electrospray ionization (ESI) was tested for the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis of five target pharmaceuticals (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, bezafibrate, enalapril and orlistat) in wastewater samples. Performance was compared both by flow injection analysis (FIA) and on-column analysis in deionized water and wastewater samples. A column switching technique for the on-line extraction and analysis of water samples was used. For both FIA and on-column analysis, signal intensity and signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of the target analytes in the three sources were studied. Limits of detection and matrix effects during the analysis of wastewater samples were also investigated. ESI generated significantly larger peak areas and higher S/N ratios than APCI and APPI in FIA and in on-column analysis. ESI was proved to be the most suitable ionization method as it enabled the detection of the five target compounds, whereas APCI and APPI ionized only four compounds.     

Synthesis and fluorescent properties of europium complexes with amide-type podand ligands of methyl salicylate

Amide-type podands derived from N,N′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(2-hydroxybenzamide) and 2-chloro-N-phenylacetamide (substituted with methyl, methoxy, chlorine, nitrogen) were synthesized. Solid complexes of europium nitrate with podands were also synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) titrimetric analysis, thermal analysis, molar conductivity analysis, and infrared (IR) and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectra analysis. The fluorescent properties of the europium(III) [Eu(III)] complexes in a solid state were also investigated. Under excitation of UV light, target Eu(III) complexes exhibited characteristic europium ion emissions. The influence of the substituent on the fluorescence intensity was discussed. Electrochemical properties were also investigated and discussed.     

Selected thermoanalytical methods and their applications from medicine to construction

There are many thermoanalytical techniques but only several of them such as thermogravimetric analysis (TG), high resolution thermogravimetric analysis (Hi-Res™ TG), derivative thermogravimetry (DTG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), calorimetry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC), evolved gas analysis (EGA), transient thermal analysis (TTA) and thermal conductivity (k) have selected to be discussed in this paper. Simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) is ideal for investigating issues such as the glass transition of modified glasses, binder burnout, dehydration of ceramic materials or decomposition behaviour of inorganic building materials, also with gas analysis. Selected applications of various thermoanalytical techniques from medicine to construction have also been discussed in this paper.     

The thermostability and reactivity of GaP nanocrystals in oxygen: from GaP nanocrystals to Ga2O3 nanocrystals

The thermostability and reactivity of GaP nanocrystals in O(2) were investigated using the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis techniques. alpha-Ga(2)O(3) nanoparticles, nano-hollow-particles, or nanorods and nanotubes can be separately obtained from the oxidation of nanocrystalline GaP at 400 degrees C for 30 min in dry O(2) atmosphere via manipulating different heating rates. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) analysis showed that the products were all alpha-Ga(2)O(3) but with different morphologies when different heating rates were applied. The formation mechanisms of the different morphological alpha-Ga(2)O(3) nanocrystals were discussed.     

Triple quadrupole linear ion trap mass spectrometer for the analysis of small molecules and macromolecules

Recently, linear ion traps (LITs) have been combined with quadrupole (Q), time-of-flight (TOF) and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry (MS). LITs can be used either as ion accumulation devices or as commercially available, stand-alone mass spectrometers with MSn capabilities. The combination of triple quadrupole MS with LIT technology in the form of an instrument of configuration QqLIT, using axial ejection, is particularly interesting, because this instrument retains the classical triple quadrupole scan functions such as selected reaction monitoring (SRM), product ion (PI), neutral loss (NL) and precursor ion (PC) while also providing access to sensitive ion trap experiments. For small molecules, quantitative and qualitative analysis can be performed using the same instrument. In addition, for peptide analysis, the enhanced multiply charged (EMC) scan allows an increase in selectivity, while the time-delayed fragmentation (TDF) scan provides additional structural information. Various methods of operating the hybrid instrument are described for the case of the commercial Q TRAP (AB/MDS Sciex) and applications to drug metabolism analysis, quantitative confirmatory analysis, peptides analysis and automated nanoelectrospray (ESI-chip-MS) analysis are discussed.

Quantitative analysis in field-flow fractionation using ultraviolet-visible detectors: an experimental design for absolute measurements

In previous works, it has been shown that a standard ultraviolet-visible detection system can be used for quantitative analysis of heterogeneous systems (dispersed supermicron particles) in field-flow fractionation (FFF) by single peak area measurements. Such an analysis method was shown to require either experimental measurements (standardless analysis) or an accurate model (absolute analysis) to determine the extinction efficiency of the particulate samples. In this work, an experimental design to assess absolute analysis in FFF through prediction of particles' optical extinction is presented. Prediction derives from the semiempirical approach by van de Hulst and Walstra. Special emphasis is given to the restriction of the experimental domain of instrumental conditions within which absolute analysis is allowed. Validation by statistical analysis and a practical application to real sample recovery studies are also given.

Advantages of hydride generation interface for selenium speciation in waters by high performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry coupling

This paper focuses on the analytical performance improvement of the coupled technique HPLC-ICPMS using on-line collision/reaction cell technology for selenium elemental and speciation analyses at the ng (Se) l(-1) level in aquatic environment. Collision/reaction cell operating parameters were optimised, resulting in selected conditions of 5.5 ml min(-1) H(2) and 0.5 ml min(-1) He mixture. The detection limits obtained were around 5 ng (Se) l(-1) for total analysis, and between 7 and 15 ng (Se) l(-1) depending on the species for speciation analysis. The capability of UV irradiation-hydride generation interfacing to increase detector sensitivity was also evaluated for speciation analysis. The detection limits obtained were in the range 2-8 ng (Se) l(-1) depending on the species. Moreover, such interface allowed to prevent bromine introduction to the ICPMS which is particularly convenient for selenium trace analysis in natural waters as (80)Se is preserved free from BrH interferences. The developed method was validated using certified water with low selenium content (TM Rain 95, NWRI, Canada) and applied to the analysis of different waters.

Poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide)-grafted polyacrylamide: a self-coating copolymer for sieving separation of native proteins by CE

The potential of a series of newly synthesized poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) grafted polyacrylamide (PAM) copolymers (P(AM-PDMA)) as a replaceable separation medium for protein analysis was studied. A comparative study with and without copolymers was performed; the separation efficiency, analysis reproducibility and protein recovery proved that the P(AM-PDMA) copolymers were efficient in suppressing the adsorption of basic proteins onto the silica capillary wall. Furthermore, the size-dependent retardation of native proteins in a representative P(AM-PDMA) copolymer was demonstrated by Ferguson analysis. The results showed that the P(AM-PDMA) copolymers combine the good coating property of PDMA and the sieving property of PAM and could be applied as a sieving matrix for the analysis of native proteins.     

Problems associated with routine PIXE analysis in quantifying elemental concentrations of leukocytes from Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) surgery patients

Whole blood from patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) operations was separated into leukocyte subfractions of polymorphonuclearcytes (PMN) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Blood samples were collected and analyzed at various timepoints to determine the elemental composition to provide a better understanding of recovery mechanisms and to indicate complications that may occur post-operatively. Proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) using the University of Surrey microprobe was employed to determine the concentrations of a range of elements. Accurate two-dimensional PIXE analysis however, requires knowledge of the sample matrix composition. These samples, on the other hand, showed varying thickness, lacked matrix homogeneity and displayed non-uniform trace element distribution. This paper discusses the results and problems associated with routine PIXE analysis and demonstrates the potential ability of ion beam analysis (IBA) depth profiling software, previously unused in PIXE analysis, to model a RBS spectrum of inhomogeneous, multi-layered samples prior to performing PIXE analysis.     

Analysis of aldehydes via headspace SPME with on-fiber derivatization to their O-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl)oxime derivatives and comprehensive 2D-GC-MS

A method for the analysis of the homologous series of alkanals, (E)-2-alkenals, and (E,E)-2,4-alkadienals is described utilizing a headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) step and on-fiber derivatization with O-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine (PFBHA) hydrochloride. Oxime derivatives formed on the fiber are desorbed in the gas chromatographic injector and analyzed by comprehensive 2-D GC coupled to quadrupole MS (GC x GC-qMS). Selecting specific fragment ions within the electron impact mass spectra of the oxime derivatives provides a suitable method for the target analysis of these aldehyde classes, which furthermore benefits from the increased separation efficiency by GC x GC. The analysis of higher molecular weight aldehydes is described in wine and grape seed oil as examples. Quantification of the aldehydes utilizes a stable isotope dilution analysis (SIDA) assay with octan-d(16)-al as isotopomeric internal standard. Besides the selectivity and sensitivity of aldehyde analysis using PFBHA derivatives, critical aspects on background level contamination and repeatability of the sample preparation method are discussed. Optimization of GC x GC-qMS parameters allowed a considerable saving of the cryogenic medium, involving additional (unmodulated) conditioning runs, rendering the method more amenable to routine analysis.

Validity of particle size analysis techniques for measurement of the attrition that occurs during vacuum agitated powder drying of needle-shaped particles

Analysis of needle-shaped particles of cellobiose octaacetate (COA) obtained from vacuum agitated drying experiments was performed using three particle size analysis techniques: laser diffraction (LD), focused beam reflectance measurements (FBRM) and dynamic image analysis. Comparative measurements were also made for various size fractions of granular particles of microcrystalline cellulose. The study demonstrated that the light scattering particle size methods (LD and FBRM) can be used qualitatively to study the attrition that occurs during drying of needle-shaped particles, however, for full quantitative analysis, image analysis is required. The algorithm used in analysis of LD data assumes the scattering particles are spherical regardless of the actual shape of the particles under evaluation. FBRM measures a chord length distribution (CLD) rather than the particle size distribution (PSD), which in the case of needles is weighted towards the needle width rather than their length. Dynamic image analysis allowed evaluation of the particles based on attributes of the needles such as length (e.g. the maximum Feret diameter) or width (e.g. the minimum Feret diameter) and as such, was the most informative of the techniques for the analysis of attrition that occurred during drying.
