A new multiresidue method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous extraction of more than two hundred pesticides, including non-polar and polar pesticides (carbamates, organochlorine, organophosphorous, pyrethroids, herbicides and insecticides) in urine at trace levels by gas and ultra high pressure liquid chromatography coupled to ion trap and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry, respectively...
Endoglycosidase is a class of glycosidases that specifically cleaves the glycosidic bond between two proximal residues of GlcNAc in the pentasaccharide core of N-glycan, leaving the innermost GlcNAc still attached to its parent protein, which provides a different diagnostic maker for N-glycosylation site assignment. This study aims to validate the use of endoglycosidase for high throughput N-glycosylation...
This study deals with O 2− generation in corona discharge (CD) in point to plane geometry for single flow ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) with gas outlet located behind the ionization source. We have designed CD of special geometry in order to achieve the high O 2− yield. Using this ion source we have achieved in zero air conditions that up to 74% all negative ions were O...
The extreme complexity of protein samples is becoming a great challenge for proteomic analysis, especially for those having large dynamic range of protein abundance. To solve this problem, and to overcome the limitation of the current proteomic technologies, a new method using hydrazide-functionalized magnetic microspheres was established in this study. With this method, tryptophan (Trp)-containing...
Gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC–TOF MS) has been applied to characterize the organic pollution pattern of marine salt samples collected in saltworks from the Spanish Mediterranean coast. After dissolving the samples in water, a solid-phase extraction was applied reaching with a 250-preconcentration factor. The screening methodology allowed the detection of sample...
A fast liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC–TOFMS) method has been developed for simultaneous quantitative multiclass determination of residues of selected antibiotics and other veterinary drugs (benzalkonium chloride, ethoxyquin, leucomalachite green (LMG), malachite green (MG), mebendazole, sulfadiazine, sulfadimethoxine, sulfamethazine, sulfamethizole, sulfanilamide, sulfapyridine,...
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely used plasticizer that can contaminate food and the wider environment and lead to human exposure. In humans, it is mainly metabolized to bisphenol A-glucuronide (BPA-G) and eliminated in the urine. As BPA causes adverse physiological effects at low doses, it is necessary to document the toxicokinetics of both molecules for risk assessment. Because BPA-G is not available...
This study reports on detection of a large number of biological and anthropogenic pollutants using LC–MS/MS and GC–MS technologies in settled floor dust (SFD). The latter technique was applied to obtain a general picture on the presence of microbial as well as non-microbial volatile organic compounds, whereas the targeted LC–MS/MS analysis focused on identification of species specific secondary metabolites...
In this work, we present the development and application of a microwave assisted extraction followed by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry methodology (MAE-LC–MS/MS) for the determination of various estradiol-mimicking compounds in sewage sludge samples. For the purification of the MAE extracts, we have employed a solid phase extraction (SPE) clean-up procedure, previously optimised. The...
A simple-structure, low-power, and low-cost low temperature plasma (LTP) ionization source, coupled with mass spectrometry, for the online detection of indoor volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has been constructed in this work. Air, instead of noble gases, was employed as the discharging and carrier gas. And a custom-built AC high-voltage power supply with a total power consumption of 5W, frequency...
