Accurate Mass Measurement Mass Spectrometry

With the development of high-resolution mass spectrometry (HMS) and its instruments, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of compound quality determination has been paid more and more attention and widely used by researchers. Accurate quality determination is an important biochemical method for qualitative and quantitative analysis of drugs. Accurate mass measurement method can determine the accurate quality compound ion, qualitative quantitative analysis of protein composition, quantitative analysis of amino acid structure, examine the composition of metal compounds, and It can also be used for the qualitative detection of the majority of small molecule drugs, speculated that small molecular compound composition, the formula for determination of compound not saturation, identify compounds isomers.

Accurate quality determination is a powerful means to solve the difficulty of conventional GC-MS qualitative analysis. The difference of the accurate mass of molecule ion and the difference of the accurate mass of fragment ion can be used to determine the accurate quality. Accurate quality measurement can reduce the scope of mass spectrometry retrieval, make the retrieval targeted and improve the analysis efficiency. At the same time, some qualitative errors are avoided and the analysis results are more accurate and reliable.

Accurate Mass Measurement Mass Spectrometry

The quality identification method associated with high resolution mass spectrometry is mass spectrometry based on Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometer.

FT-ICR MS

FT-ICR MS is a mass spectrometer that measures the ion charge ratio according to the cyclotron frequency in a given magnetic field. It can accurately determine the molecular weight, fine isotope peak type, multistage mass spectrometer fragments, and so on.

(1) The working principle of FT-ICR MS

Firstly, the signal generated in a high magnetic field by the movement of a charged particle in a cyclotron resonance motion caused by the induction current changing with time was detected. Then, the Fourier transform of the signal was converted into the frequency of cyclotron motion of a charged particle. Finally, the ratio of mass-charge charged particles was obtained.

(2) Multi-heavy ion fragment function

In source dissociation, Collision induced dissociation (CID), Electron capture dissociation (ECD), Sustained Off-Resonance Irradiation Collision induced dissociation (SORI CID) dissociative debris such as function, can select the most appropriate according to the sample cracking method. Then you can get the most comprehensive structure information.

(4) Case analysis

Fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether to conventional analysis methods (HPLC, HPLC/ESI - MS) there is a long time, to analysis the instrument, sample residue pollution serious shortcomings, such as using MALDI/FT - ICR - MS can be quickly and accurately obtain a series of quasi molecular ion peaks of the surfactant and its associated with ion peak, adjust the signal by adding salt ions, the signal has no effect on the next sample, play the advantages of its pollution-free, resistant to salt. The distribution of the component elements, the length of the alkyl chain and the polymerization degree of ethylene oxide in the surfactant can be derived quickly from the relevant information.

Accurate Mass Measurement Mass Spectrometry

A health product company commissioned the detection and analysis of the chemical components of a Chinese medicine. Ft-icr MS was used to detect and analyze the extract of this traditional Chinese medicine, and the obtained excimer ion peak and secondary mass spectrometry fragment information were compared with the information reported in the literature, and 42 compounds were identified.

From Our Clients

"I recently used their proteomics service for a project analyzing protein interactions in yeast models. The team was very responsive and helped clarify the methodology they employed, which made me feel confident in the results. The data quality was solid, with clear identification of several key proteins involved in our study. Their thorough analysis enabled me to pinpoint specific interactions that I hadn't considered before, which significantly improved the direction of my research. I appreciate their professionalism and support throughout the process."

Sarah Thompson, University of California, Berkeley

"Our lab collaborated with them on a project studying cancer biomarkers. The proteomics analysis provided was detailed and focused, specifically highlighting the differential expression of proteins between healthy and tumor samples. Their clear explanations of the data helped my team understand the biological implications. I also appreciated their willingness to revise the reports based on our feedback, ensuring that we had everything we needed for our publication. This collaborative spirit was invaluable."

Emily Rodriguez, Stanford University

"Our lab worked with them on a project studying the effects of diet on gut microbiota using proteomics. They used a label-free quantification method to analyze proteins in fecal samples before and after dietary intervention. The results showed significant changes in protein expression linked to microbial activity. This was pivotal for our hypothesis about diet-microbiota interactions. The clarity of their data presentation made it easy for our team to integrate these findings into our ongoing research."

Dr. Lisa Wong, University of Toronto

"My experience with Creative Proteomics during the mass spectrometry analysis was excellent. We sent in human saliva and mouse brain tissue samples, which they expertly analyzed using both LC-MS and GC-MS techniques. The results were invaluable, revealing key metabolites in the saliva and identifying biomarkers linked to brain function in the brain tissue."

Dr. Emily Carter, Senior Research Scientist

"The overall service from Creative Proteomics was outstanding. They made the entire process seamless and efficient, allowing us to focus on our research. We worked with leaf and root samples from various Arabidopsis genotypes for targeted metabolomics analysis. Their thorough profiling of primary and secondary metabolites gave us important insights into how the plants respond metabolically to environmental stress."

Dr. Laura Henderson, Plant Physiologist

"We had a pleasant collaboration with Creative Proteomics on mass spectrometry analysis of lipids. They conducted a detailed analysis of lipid species, providing us with important insights into lipid metabolism and its relationship with metabolic syndrome disease states."
