Techniques such as neutral loss scanning and collision-induced dissociation (CID) have been especially helpful in facilitating the identification of a multitude of previously unknown sites of protein phosphorylation. However, many of the techniques used to obtain this information are labor intensive and work inconsistently. To address this problem, much effort has been put forth to find alternative methods of fragmenting peptides and proteins that are less difficult and applicable to a wide gamut of peptide classes. Examples of recently developed dissociation techniques include infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) and electron transfer dissociation (ETD). The implementation of these new techniques has widened the spectrum of peptides amenable to tandem mass spectral analysis. 2008-11-01T04:00:00Z http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/data/articlestandard/lcgc/472008/567037null XML http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/Hyphenated/The-Changing-Face-of-LCndashMS-From-Experts-to-Use/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/567011?ref=25 Two decades ago, MS was the preserve of experts and skilled technicians as the instrumentation required constant attention and adjustment. At that time, liquid chromatography (LC)–MS was in its infancy and atmospheric pressure ionization (API) source interfacing was just beginning. Samples requiring analysis were passed from the requesting scientist to these "experts for analysis." The samples would be analyzed, processed, and interpreted, and the results returned via a written report. Two decades later, the users and capabilities of LC–MS have changed significantly. Now mass spectrometers and LC–MS systems are ubiquitous in the analytical laboratory, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. These instruments are used by a wide variety of scientists for a diverse range of tasks, from purity screening in medicinal chemistry, to the quantification of drugs in blood and the identification of proteins for biomarker discovery. The usability of the current MS platforms has improved.. 2008-11-01T04:00:00Z http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/data/articlestandard/lcgc/472008/567011null XML http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/Hyphenated/Liquid-Chromatography-Coupled-with-Tandem-Mass-Spe/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/567013?ref=25 The use of mass spectrometry (MS) in clinical diagnosis goes back to the early 1970s with the application of gas chromatography (GC)–MS to the determination of a variety of biologically significant molecules. Because GC requires a certain level of analyte volatility, and since most biologically active molecules are polar, thermolabile, and involatile, elaborate extraction and derivatization protocols needed to be devised to make GC–MS useful for the analysis of clinically relevant samples. To make sample analysis less difficult by MS there had been a significant amount of R&D invested over several decades aimed at coupling high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with MS since HPLC is a much better separation technology than GC for polar thermolabile biologically relevant molecules. This coupling was not without significant challenges; most of the LC–MS coupling techniques that evolved during the 1970s and 1980s were not very successful, and many of those that enjoyed some widespread.. 2008-11-01T04:00:00Z http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/data/articlestandard/lcgc/472008/567013null XML http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/Sample+Prep/Liquid-Liquid-Microextraction-of-Haloacetic-Acids-/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/562729?ref=25 Researchers from the University of Córdoba (Córdoba, Spain) studied the use of simultaneous liquid-liquid microextraction and methylation along with headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to determine nine haloacetic acids in drinking water. 2008-11-01T04:00:00Z http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/data/articlestandard/lcgc/452008/562729null HTML http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/Hyphenated/Researchers-Discover-Sex-Hormone-Binding-Globulin-/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/562741?ref=25 Researchers from the University of Gothenburg and other sites in Sweden, along with researchers from Portland, Oregon and Quebec, Canada conducted a study to examine the role of serum sex steroids in fracture risk among men. 2008-11-01T04:00:00Z http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/data/articlestandard/lcgc/452008/562741null HTML http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/Misc/Proxeon-and-Thermo-Fisher-Scientific-Integrate-Sys/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/562721?ref=25 Proxeon (Odense, Denmark) announced completeion of a project to integrate the company?s EASY-nLC system software with Thermo Fisher Scientific?s (Waltham, Massachusetts) Xcalibur software. 2008-11-01T04:00:00Z http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/data/articlestandard/lcgc/452008/562721null HTML http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/Hyphenated/A-New-Perspective-on-the-Challenges-of-Mass-Spectr/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/567026?ref=25 For drug discovery workflows, the issue of metabolite detection and identification in in vivo systems is a critical challenge. The wide range of complex matrices (such as bile, plasma, urine, and fecal extracts), and the ion suppression effects of these biological fluids, can cause a severe decrease in the ability to detect metabolites. Greater instrument sensitivity is necessary to detect these compounds and, at the same time, helps to minimize sample preparation, simply diluting the negative effects of these complex matrices and avoiding the time- and labor-consuming sample cleanup or concentration steps that otherwise might be required. 2008-11-01T04:00:00Z http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/data/articlestandard/lcgc/472008/567026null XML http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/Departments%3A+Products/Product-Resources/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/567024?ref=25 Product Resources 2008-11-01T04:00:00Z http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/data/articlestandard/lcgc/472008/567024null XML http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/Misc/Thermo-Fisher-Scientific-Opens-Facility-in-Switzer/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/562723?ref=25 Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, Massachusetts) has opened a new facility in Reinach, Switzerland, near Basel, to support pharmaceutical and chemical companies in Switzerland near the French and German borders. 2008-11-01T04:00:00Z http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/data/articlestandard/lcgc/452008/562723null HTML http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/Misc/2008-Nobel-Prize-Awarded-for-Discovery-of-Green-Fl/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/562725?ref=25 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is awarding the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2008 to Osamu Shimomura (Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts and Boston University Medical School), Martin Chalfie (Columbia University, New York), and Roger Y.

Conventional wisdom indicated that there were many reasons (for example, temperature stability, ion diffusion, and ion loss on grids of reflectrons) that would make it impossible to improve resolution of these types of instruments. Figure 1 shows a schematic of an instrument designed for high-resolution measurements with fast chromatography (Maxis UHR-TOF mass spectrometer, Bruker Daltonics, Billerica, Massachusetts). The instrument includes an ion chiller, a series of ion refocusing operations, a single reflectron, and temperature control of the overall flight tube of the instrument. 2008-11-01T04:00:00Z http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/data/articlestandard/lcgc/472008/567023null XML http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/Hyphenated/Biomonitoring-Polybrominated-Diphenyl-Ethers-and-P/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/564649?ref=25 A selective and highly sensitive capillary gas chromatographic-mass spectromic approach has been developed for the detection of PBDEs and PBBs that utilizes dissociative resonance electron capture and selected ion monitoring. 2008-11-01T04:00:00Z http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/data/articlestandard/lcgc/452008/564649/1108.T_thumbnail.jpg http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/data/articlestandard/lcgc/452008/564649/1108.M_main.jpg http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/data/articlestandard/lcgc/452008/564649/1108.F_flash.jpg XML http://chromatographyonline.findpharma.com/lcgc/Column%3A+Sample+Prep+Perspectives/The-Role-of-Polymers-in-Solid-Phase-Extraction-and/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/564645?ref=25 This installment of SPP will compare and contrast the various types of polymeric and non-polymeric sorbents.
