DIRECT ANALYSIS OF HOPS BY LEAF SPRAY AND PAPER SPRAY MASS SPECTROMETRY Kari Blain, M.S. Western Michigan University, 2012 The objective of this research is to develop a new and innovative method of hops analysis, which is much faster than standard testing methods, as well as reduce the amount of consumables and solvent used. A detailed discussion on the development of an ambient ionization mass spectrometry method called paper spray (PS-MS) and leaf spray (LS-MS) mass spectrometry will be presented. This research investigates the use of PS-MS and LS-MS techniques to determine the α- and β- acids present in hops. PS-MS and LS-MS provide a fast way to analyze hops samples by delivering data as rapidly as a UV-Vis measurement while providing information similar to lengthy liquid chromatographic separations. The preliminary results shown here indicate that PS-MS could be used to determine cohumulone and α/β ratios.

  • 1 Introduction of Mass Spectrometry and Ambient Ionization Techniques
    1 1 Introduction of Mass Spectrometry and Ambient Ionization Techniques Yiyang Dong, Jiahui Liu, and Tianyang Guo College of Life Science & Technology, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, No. 15 Beisanhuan East Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100029, China 1.1 Evolution of Analytical Chemistry and Its Challenges in the Twenty-First Century The Chemical Revolution began in the eighteenth century, with the work of French chemist Antoine Lavoisier (1743–1794) representing a fundamental watershed that separated the “modern chemistry” era from the “protochemistry” era (Figure 1.1). However, analytical chemistry, a subdiscipline of chemistry, is an ancient science and its metrological tools, basic applications, and analytical processes can be dated back to early recorded history [1]. In chronological spans covering ancient times, the middle ages, the era of the nineteenth century, and the three chemical revolutionary periods, analytical chemistry has successfully evolved from the verge of the nineteenth century to modern and contemporary times, characterized by its versatile traits and unprecedented challenges in the twenty-first century. Historically, analytical chemistry can be termed as the mother of chemistry, as the nature and the composition of materials are always needed to be iden- tified first for specific utilizations subsequently; therefore, the development of analytical chemistry has always been ahead of general chemistry [2]. During pre-Hellenistic times when chemistry did not exist as a science, various ana- lytical processes, for example, qualitative touchstone method and quantitative fire-assay or cupellation scheme have been in existence as routine quality control measures for the purpose of noble goods authentication and anti-counterfeiting practices. Because of the unavailability of archeological clues for origin tracing, the chemical balance and the weights, as stated in the earliest documents ever found, was supposed to have been used only by the Gods [3].

These detectors are ideally suited to study and characterize the charge distributions generated by ambient ionization sources. METHODS: The direct imaging capabilities of the active pixel detector are used to investigate the spatial distributions of charged droplets generated by three ionization sources, named electrospray ionization (ESI), paper spray ionization (PSI) and surface acoustic wave nebulization (SAWN). The ionization spray (ESI/PSI) and ionization plume (SAWN) originating from each source are directly imaged. The effect of source parameters such as spray voltage for ESI and PSI, and the angle of the paper spray tip on the charge distributions, is investigated. Two types of SAWN liquid interface, progressive wave (PW) and standing wave (SW), are studied. RESULTS: Direct charge detection under ambient conditions is demonstrated using an active pixel detector.

  • Early Detection of Unilateral Ureteral Obstruction by Desorption

Tibshirani4, Richard N. Zare1 & James D. Brooks 3 Desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) is an emerging analytical tool for rapid in situ assessment of metabolomic profles on tissue sections without tissue pretreatment or labeling. We applied DESI-MS to identify candidate metabolic biomarkers associated with kidney injury at the early stage. DESI-MS was performed on sections of kidneys from 80 mice over a time course following unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) and compared to sham controls. A predictive model of renal damage was constructed using the LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) method. Levels of lipid and small metabolites were signifcantly altered and glycerophospholipids comprised a signifcant fraction of altered species. These changes correlate with altered expression of lipid metabolic genes, with most genes showing decreased expression. However, rapid upregulation of PG(22:6/22:6) level appeared to be a hitherto unknown feature of the metabolic shift observed in UUO. Using LASSO and SAM (signifcance analysis of microarrays), we identifed a set of well-measured metabolites that accurately predicted UUO-induced renal damage that was detectable by 12 h after UUO, prior to apparent histological changes. Thus, DESI-MS could serve as a useful adjunct to histology in identifying renal damage and demonstrates early and broad changes in membrane associated lipids. Renal biopsy is used commonly to assess the etiology of renal failure, where it has been reported to alter clinical management in approximately 40% of all patients and up to 70% of cases with acute kidney injury1,2.

Various organic reactions, including important synthetic reactions involving All rights reserved C–C, C–N, and C–O bond formation as well as reactions of biomolecules, are accelerated when the reagents are present in sprayed or levitated micro- droplets or in thin films. The reaction rates increase by orders of magnitude with decreasing droplet size or film thickness. The effect is associated with reactions at the solution–air interface. A key factor is partial solvation of the reagents at the interface, which reduces the critical energy for reaction. This phenomenon is of intrinsic interest and potentially of practical value as a simple, rapid method of performing small-scale synthesis. 31 PC71CH02_Cooks ARjats.cls April 9, 2020 11:29 1.

  • In Situ Separation and Analysis of Lipids by Paper Spray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
    molecules Communication In Situ Separation and Analysis of Lipids by Paper Spray Ionization Mass Spectrometry Youngju Kal and Sangwon Cha * Department of Chemistry, Dongguk University, Seoul 04620, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-2260-8907 Abstract: Paper spray ionization (PSI) is an extractive ambient ionization technique for mass spec- trometry (MS), whereby a triangular paper tip serves as the sampling base and the electrospray tip. During PSI, analytes are extracted and transported to the edge of the paper tip by the applied spraying solvent. Analytes can be purified from a sample matrix and separated from each other by this transportation process. In this study, we investigated and utilized the analyte transportation process of PSI for the in situ separation and analysis of lipid mixtures. We found that differential transport of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and triacylglycerol (TAG), the two most abundant lipid classes in animals, occurred during PSI. We also found that the order in which these lipids moved strongly depended on how the spraying solvent was applied to the paper base. The more polar PC moved faster than the less polar TAG during PSI, when a polar solvent was slowly fed into a paper tip, whereas TAG was transported faster than PC when excess solvent was applied to the tip at once. In addition, we achieved a complete separation and detection of PC and TAG by slowly supplying a nonpolar solvent to a PSI tip.

  • Analysis of Biofluids by Paper Spray Mass Spectrometry: Advances and Challenges
    Analysis of Biofluids by Paper Spray Mass Spectrometry: Advances and Challenges Nicholas E. Manicke, Brandon J. Bills, and Chengsen Zhang Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Indianapolis, Indiana 46202, United States Abstract Paper spray mass spectrometry (MS) is part of a cohort of ambient ionization or direct analysis methods that seek to analyze complex samples without prior sample preparation. Extraction and electrospray ionization occur directly from the paper substrate upon which a dried matrix spot is stored. Paper spray MS is capable of detecting drugs directly from dried blood, plasma, and urine spots at the low ng/mL to pg/mL levels without sample preparation. No front end separation is performed, so tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) or high resolution MS is required. Here, we discuss paper spray methodology, give a comprehensive literature review of the use of paper spray MS for bioanalysis, discuss technological advancements and variations on this technique, and discuss some of its limitations. _________________________________________________________________________________ This is the author's manuscript of the article published in final edited form as: Manicke, N.

  • Long Abstract Paper Spray Ionization
    Long Abstract Paper Spray Ionization - Tandem Mass Spectrometry for Quantification of Prescription Drugs in Oral Fluid Karen E. Cesafsky, Valentina Pirro, Alan K. Jarmusch, and R. Graham Cooks Department of Chemistry and Center for Analytical Instrumentation Development, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907 Paper Spray (PS) is an ambient ionization technique used with mass spectrometry (MS) for rapid analysis from complex matrices. Briefly, the procedure includes drying a sample onto a piece of triangular shaped paper, placing the paper in front of the MS source, wetting the paper with solvent, and applying a high voltage using a copper clip which generates ions via electrospray- like mechanisms (Fig 1). PS seeks to remove the need for complex sample preparation (e.g., SPE) as well as time consuming and expensive chromatographic separations (e.g. LC and GC), but still relies on MS for specificity, particularly enhanced with multiple stages of mass analysis (MS/MS). PS-MS/MS allows for the analysis of drugs and small molecules in biofluids, e.g. whole blood, plasma, urine and oral fluid. Applications include point of care diagnostics, roadside drug testing, pharmaceutical metabolite studies and many more. Presented here is a rapid method for the detection of prescription drugs and their metabolites in oral fluid. Experiments were performed with a Thermo Fisher Quantum Max triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Opiates and opioids, benzodiazepines, and tranquillizers were detected in positive ion mode via multiple reaction monitoring, selecting two fragments per drug to increase the specificity of the analytical signal. Less than 10 µL of oral fluid spiked with stable isotopic internal standards was spiked onto triangular shaped filter paper.
