Application Guide
Mass spectrometers are extremely good at obtaining molecular information, such as molecular weight and structural information. Consequently, they are mainly used for quantitative analysis and structural analysis, but the range of applications is expanding. Since current all mass spectrometers have many specific characteristics, it is difficult to decide which type of mass spectrometer is optimal for a particular application based on any simple criteria. This means the system must be selected based on user objectives, such as whether high sensitivity is required, high resolution is required, or a compact general-purpose system is required. Representative applications for each type of mass spectrometer are indicated below. Use this chart to help choose the best mass spectrometer for your analytical sample.

Mass spectrometers must first ionize sample molecules.


Many type of ionization have been developed. Electron ionization (EI) ionizes samples using accelerated thermal electrons, 70 eV. EI is generally used for samples, whose molecular weight is less than 1000. It is typically used in combination with a gas chromatograph to analyze highly volatile molecules or gases. Electrospray ionization (ESI) ionizes samples in solution by spraying them. It is mainly used in combination with liquid chromatographs. Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI) desorbs sample molecules by laser energy and ionizes those by transferring charge from matrix ions. MALDI can apply wide range of samples by changing matrix reagents, hence, this ionization method apply to synthetic polymer and complicated samples.

Generated ions are separated and detected based on differences in their mass-to-charge ratio ( m/z value).

Quadr upo l e M o d e l s
Quadrupole mass spectrometers use a set of four parallel electrode rods to form an electric field. This electric field is used to separate ions passing through the space formed by four rods based on their m/z value. Triple quadrupole mass spectrometers use three sets of quadrupoles configured in series to quantitatively analyze target molecules in highly contaminated samples, such as pesticides in foods, with extremely high sensitivity levels.

The velocity of ions, which is accelerated by a fixed electric voltage, is depending on their m/z value. The velocity of lower m/z ion becomes faster. Time-of-flight mass spectrometer calculates m/z value from the ion velocity, i.e., time of flight of each ion, which takes to travel a fixed distance.

H ybr i d M o d e l s
Hybrid mass spectrometers are a combination of an ion trap mass spectrometer and a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. An ion trap consists of two end cap and one single ring electrodes. An electric field formed by single ring electrode can trap ions in the space. A key feature of ion trap is high sensitive analysis and MSn analysis. Time-of-flight mass spectrometer can determine m/z values with high accuracy.

Solid phase microextraction (SPME) enables the analysis of organic substances with high sensitivity by first concentrating organic substances in a water or gas phase onto SPME fibers, then desorbing the substances in the GC injection unit. Using an AOC-5000 Plus autosampler enables automating the entire process and ensuring good reproducibility.

GC GC- M S Sys tem


This system separates components using two columns with different polarity. Unlike multi-dimensional analysis, this system provides comprehensive 2-dimensional separation across the entire chromatogram by repeatedly injecting samples into the second column in an extremely short time.

Direct sample injection is a method of bypassing the gas chromatograph (GC) and injecting samples directly into the ion source. This is especially suited to analyzing non-volatile compounds or thermally unstable compounds, which are difficult to analyze in a GC unit.

Multifunctional Sample Injection System


The OPTIC-4 is a GC injection port that enables using various GC/MS sample injection modes, such as high volume injection, injection port derivativization, thermal desorption, or DMI (difficult matrix introduction). Used in combination with an AOC-5000 Plus autosampler, inserts can be replaced automatically to increase productivity during multianalyte analysis.

LC/MS/MS systems are an essential tool for quantitative and qualitative analysis of bioactive substances, which only exist in small amounts in organisms. An example of using LC/MS/MS to analyze metabolites of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is shown. All 7 types of IAA metabolites can be detected by MRM measurement from 1 nM, which allowed creating a calibration curve from 1 to 1000 nM. In addition, all seven metabolite types were detected in a measurement of a rice root sample doped 10 M IAA.

GCMS Analysis of Amino, Organic, and Fatty Acids Using GC/MS Metabolite Component Database
GC-MS systems are often used in metabolomic and biochemical diagnostic research fields to measure amino acids, organic acids, or fatty acids in urine or blood. Shimadzu worked jointly with the Shimane University Faculty of Medicine to develop a GC/MS Metabolite Component Database, containing information on over 300 types of metabolites and other substances (amino acids, organic acids, and fatty acids). The figures below show results from using this database to analyze fats and fatty acids in human blood serum and show results from simultaneous analysis of organic acid, amino acid, saccharide, and other metabolites in canine cerebral fluid, conducted jointly with Osaka Prefecture University Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences associate professor Shigeo Takenaka.

A XI M A Identification of Glycan Structures Using the Accurate Glycan Analyzer and AXIMA Resonance
Since many proteins are modified by glycans, the glycans to which they are bonded can have a significant influence on protein function. The structure of multiple branched molecules, such as glycans, cannot be determined from simple mass spectra, but using MSn analysis allows identifying different structures of even glycans with identical masses. In this case, by following software instructions up to MS3 analysis, the system was able to distinguish between the structures of two types of pyridylamino derivatives of N-glycans with identical masses (m/z 1725) that differed only in the position of glucose bonds on non-reducing terminals.

MALDI-TOF MS imaging is a revolutionary new technology that provides images showing the distribution of molecules in biological tissue, based on the signal intensities and masses of ions detected with a mass spectrometer. Therefore, it is possible to investigate the presence and localization of drugs administered to animals, or their metabolic products, in tissue sections. It is expected to apply drug delivery and pharmacokinetics research. An ion at m/z 327, which corresponds to the mass of clozapine, is detected of mass spectra on brain tissue section. The ion was confirmed to be clozapine from MS/MS analysis results. A mass image of the detected clozapine (figure (c) on the left) shows that clozapine is detected in a variety of locations throughout the brain tissue section, but it is strongly detected especially in the cerebral cortex. In contrast, the distribution of demethylated clozapine differs from clozapine (figure (d) on the left).

Many regulatory authorities have established multi-class residual pesticides methods for the analysis of vegetables, fruits and other food stus. There is, however no global agreement on the provision of a target list of pesticides and this presents a risk with products moving between dierent regulatory requirements. In order to eliminate this risk, food safety laboratories need to ideally screen as many compounds as possible in a single run which may reach maximum residual limits (MRL); typically 10 ppb in food matrices. In this study, we report the application of ultra-fast 5 msec MRM with 15 msec polarity switching for the analysis of 138 pesticides in vegetable matrices (72 and 66 compounds measured by LC-QqQ and GC-QqQ in the European Union Reference Laboratory (EURL) method). Approximately 90% of pesticides represented good recoveries in the range of 70-120% in all studied matrices.

As concern grows for food safety and the ecology, the number of substances regulated to protect our lifestyles continues to increase. Consequently, there is now an increased needs for an easier inspection method and faster multiple components simultaneous analysis. Therefore, more LC/MS/MS systems are being utilized in recent years, due to sample pretreatment requirements that can be made shorter than using GC/MS systems. Using an LC/MS/MS Method Package allows starting quantitative analysis quickly by simply confirming separation parameters, without having to optimize MS parameters for each compound required before starting LC/MS/MS analysis. Each type of method package includes simultaneous analysis method files, a list of MRM transitions, and report templates. Measurement methods can be completed by simply selecting text files for necessary components from the list of MRM transitions and correcting retention times by analyzing a standard sample.

Analysis of Residual Pesticides in Food Using Twin Line-GC/MS


By using a twin line system, two columns can be installed in a GC-MS. Switching between the columns is accomplished simply by changing settings. To analyze pesticides in foods, two columns with different types of solid phases were installed using the twin lines. By comparing the results obtained from each column, reliability can be increased for both quantitative and qualitative analysis. In particular, if a pesticide overlaps with an impurity, in some cases the second column enables separation with a different type of solid phase. Therefore, comparing data from two columns makes data analysis easier and improves reliability.

A XI M A The fastest and easiest microorganism identification by MALDI-TOFMS


When MALDI-MS spectra are measured directly on microorganism like bacteria, mainly several dozens of ribosome proteins are detected. MS spectrum pattern is dependent on microorganism species, because the amino acid sequence of ribosome protein is different each species. By storing those MS spectra in database just for MALDI-TOFMS and identification, three steps microorganism ID are enabled without complicated sample preparation. High throughput analysis, a thousand sample run per day, is capable1). By compiling many data, which are acquired with varying strains and culture conditions, as a mass spectrum of a species in database, incorrect rate can be reduced and microorganism ID can be stable. Figure 2 shows identification results of Trichophyton rubrum isolates.

On August 24, 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) in Manufacturing, Packaging, Labeling, or Holding Operations for Dietary Supplements, 21 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Part 111. This regulation mandates testing the ingredients in supplements. The following shows an example of using LC/MS/MS to quantitatively analyze water soluble vitamins in a commercial dietary supplement. Nine water soluble vitamins were measured with good separation and sensitivity. In addition, each ingredient was successfully quantitated in a supplement extract solution without being affected by contaminant components. Quantitation results are shown below.

GCGC is state-of-the-art chromatography technology that involves directly connecting two different columns together to achieve high separation levels. GC Image was used to create two-dimensional results from analyzing diesel fuel using a GCGC-MS system, as shown to the left. A column with high polarity was used for the second column, which enabled separating aromatic hydrocarbons, which tend to overlap with paraffins. These can be detected as a blob distribution pattern that reflects the compound structure.

Analyzing the additives in polymer materials is extremely important for investigating the performance of different polymer materials and for making product improvements. An example of measuring a plastic plate extract using the ultrafast polarity switching, ultrafast scanning performance, and Synchronized Survey Scan function offered on the LCMS-8030 is shown. Based on the detected masses and MS/MS spectra, it was determined that the plastic plate contains Irganox 245, Tinuvin P, and Cyanox 425. These results also suggest it contains other additives as well.

L C M S - I T- T O F Analysis of Additives in Polymer Extract Solution Using LCMS-IT-TOF


It is known that the additives added to polymer materials can vary even for identical types of products, depending on the grade or manufacturer. Therefore, identifying the additives in polymer materials provides important information for investigating the performance of competitor products or improving one's own products. Based on the formula (C28H52N2O4) predicted for peak A using Formula Predictor and accurate masses obtained from MS, MS/MS, and MS/MS/MS analysis, peak A presumably corresponds to decanedoic acid bis (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl) ester.

A XI M A Analysis of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Oligomer Using SEC-MALDI

Elution Time

Legend : -(m/n)-; linear oligomers (m/n); cyclic oligomers m; Number of terephthalic acid (TA) units n; Number of ethylene glycol (EG) units

Soxhlet extraction or precipitation methods are used to pretreat samples for oligomer analysis, and HPLC, NMR, or MALDI-TOF MS (particularly more recently) systems are used for detection. However, polymer materials are, by definition, a mixture of multiple components, which means small amounts of components cannot be detected by simply analyzing the extract with mass spectrometry. Using this system, which combines size exclusion chromatography (SEC) with MALDI-TOF MS, enables detailed oligomer analysis. An example of using this system to analyze a recycled PET product is shown. Compared to oligomers in standard PET polymers, a relatively broader distribution of molecular weights was obtained and more linear type oligomers were detected from the recycled item.

If multiple components need to be analyzed simultaneously, it may be difficult to achieve full separation using HPLC alone. The high selectivity offered by mass spectrometers is especially useful in such cases. The figure below shows an example of results from analyzing carbamate pesticides. Even at low 500 ppb concentrations, the mass spectrometer provided more than adequate detection sensitivity. Furthermore, high throughput can be achieved for processing multiple analytes by combining it with a UFLC system.
