Abstract

Ambient mass spectrometry has been increasingly applied for sensitive detection of trace organic compounds present in complex matrixes. In the real world, detection of trace amounts of inorganic species, particularly with speciation information, is of great significances. Herein a method based on extractive electrospray ionization (EESI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) has been established for rapid detection of radioactive inorganic species in natural water samples. Negatively charged uranyl acetate undergoes characteristic fragmentation in the gas phase, providing the fundamental chemistry for specific detection of uranyl species in complex matrixes without sample pretreatment. Under the optimized experimental conditions, uranyl species in various natural water samples were rapidly detected using multiple-stage EESI mass spectrometry. The mean time for each sample analysis was about 10 s. The limit of detection was about a few 10(-3) ng/L of uranium by utilizing the characteristic fragments obtained in the EESI-MS(3) experiments. The typical relative standard deviation (RSD) of this method was 6.9-8.1% for 8 measurements (S/N = 3). The dynamic response range was 10(-1)-10(3) ng/L for uranium in water samples. The isotope rat...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
