A new concept for isotope ratio monitoring liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry : RCM

Abstract

A new interface for the on-line coupling of a liquid chromatograph to a stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer has been developed and tested. The interface is usable for (13)C/(12)C determination of organic compounds, allowing measurement of small changes in (13)C abundance in individual analyte species. All of the carbon in each analyte is quantitatively converted into CO(2) while the analyte is still dissolved in the aqueous liquid phase. This is accomplished by an oxidizing agent such as ammonium peroxodisulfate. The CO(2) is separated from the liquid phase and transferred to the mass spectrometer. It is shown that the whole integrated process does not introduce isotope fractionation. The measured carbon isotope ratios are accurate and reproducible. The sensitivity of the complete system allows isotope ratio determination down to 400 ng of compound on-column. By-passing the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation allows bulk isotopic analysis with substantially lower sample amounts than those required by conventional elemental analyzers. The results of the first applications to amino acids, carbohydrates, and drugs, eluted from various types of HPLC columns, are presented. The wide range of chromatographic m...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
