Introduction Mass spectrometry (MS) is a method used to analyse a sample and measure the mass-to-charge ratio thereof. It can be used to determine the mass of samples as well as the composition of the sample. Liquid chromatography (LC) or more specifically known as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a technique that makes use of chromatography to separate a mixture of complex compounds into its constituent molecules and can further be used to identify, quantify and purify these
Capillary Liquid Chromatography- Mass Spectrometry What is Chromatography? Chromatography is the technical term for a set of laboratory approaches for the separation of mixtures (Solid/Liquid/Gas). The mixture is dissolved in a fluid which called the mobile phase, which carries it through a structure holding another material known as the stationary phase. The various constituents of the mixture transport at different velocities, causing them to separate. The separation is mainly based on differential
The mass spectrometer has long been an indispensable tool in chemistry. Molecules to be analyzed, referred to as analytes, are first ionized in a vacuum. When the newly charged molecules are introduced into an electric and magnetic field, their paths through the field are a function of their mass-to-charge ratio, mlz. This measured property of the ionized species can be used to deduce the mass (M ) of the analyte with very high precision. Mass spectrometry can….. Identify single proteins from a gel
What is Gas Chromatography? Gas Chromatography also known as vapor-phase chromatography (VPC), or gas–liquid partition chromatography (GLPC) is most widely used analytical technique in the world; it is used for the separating and analysing compounds that can be vaporized without decomposing. Among its uses are being able to test the purity of a substance, being able to separate different components in a mixture and help in environmental contaminant identification . This can lead to GC being able
identified using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GCMS). The quantity and determination of chloride was determined using the ion selective electrode (ISE) method. The various species of citrate and phosphate were identified using titration and the data collected from the ISE. The GCMS uses a combination of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry to measure and identify the ingredients present in the gas over the liquid, otherwise known as the “headspace.” In gas chromatography, the sample of

HPLC HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) is an analytical technique which separates a complex mixture of components into its specific individual components. It is a powerful tool in analysis, as it combines high speed with extreme sensitivity compared to traditional methods of chromatography because of the use of a pump which creates a high pressure and forces the mobile phase to move with the analyte in high speed. It is been used as a principle technology in various automated analyzers
systems or the remote that controls your television, advances have been made. One of the most notable advances has been in the field of criminology. Two new pieces of technology that have made quite a large impact are Infra-red Spectroscopy and Chromatography. A body was found with no identification was found on the body. An external examination of the body found numerous needle marks and bruising and thrombosed veins in the cubital fossae. The head showed evidence of a blunt trauma and small paint
solid, liquid, and gas. “A solid is rigid and therefore has a definite shape and volume. A liquid also occupies a specific volume, but its fluidity causes it to take the shape of the container in which it is residing. A gas has neither a definite shape nor volume, and it will completely fill any container into which it is place” (2011, Pg. 120). Chromatography, spectrophotometry, and mass spectrometry are used to identify or compare organic materials. As explained by Saferstein “Chromatography is a

Analytical Chemistry Analytical Chemistry is the branch of chemistry principally concerned with determining the chemical composition of materials, which may be solids, liquids, gases, pure elements, compounds, or complex mixtures. In addition, chemical analysis can characterize materials but determining their molecular structures and measuring such physical properties as pH, color, and solubility. Wet analysis involves the studying of substances that have been submerged in a solution and microanalysis

I will be testing this prep method using LCMS. Once a sufficient prep method is devised, I will analyze 50 saliva samples using ultra-performance liquid chromatography–quadrupole–time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC QTOF) in order to make a structural confirmation of the protein sequence via tandem MS/MS. I will be using reversed phase chromatography with a gradient of acetonitrile (ACN) and water as my solvents. I will be repeating the method on 10 samples of other bodily to ensure that the biomarkers
1. Introduction The common name for the genus Rhus is Sumac, which contains over 250 individual species in the family Anacardiaceae. Rhuscoriaria L. is a wild medicinal plant growing in the Mediterranean region, has long been used as a flavoring foods and medicinal plant (Ali-Shtayeh et al., 2008). In folk medicine and traditional Iranian herbal medicine, sumac has been used in the treatment of hypertension, cancer, stroke, diabetes, atherosclerosis, smallpox, liver disease, aconuresis, headaches
Agriculture is one of the biggest sectors of Pakistan. This sector is considered to be the center of development and economic growth of in Pakistan. Being a dominant sector, its GDP contribution is about 21.4%. In this sector 45% of the country’s force is employed (1). The total area coverage by the country is approximately 79.60 million hectares, about 37.10% area is cultivated, 11.5% area is cultural waste and 31% area is non-arable. The horticulture sub sector is one of the most important sectors
During a visit to Mexico, Gordon Wasson, a mycologist, discovered the use of psilocybin mushroom in spiritual ceremonies by Indian tribes. Upon experiencing the spiritual and hallucinatory effects of the mushroom, Wasson returned to the area accompanied by an experienced mycologist, Roger Heim, who managed to cultivate the mushroom once in France and send samples of it to the scientist who had discovered lysergic acid, Albert Hoffman. From the mushrooms, Hoffman successfully isolated two compounds
Vibrational spectroscopy is a term used to describe the analytical techniques Infrared and Raman spectroscopy. These two techniques are tools used to provide information about the molecular composition, structure and interactions with a sample. Both techniques are non-destructive, qualitative and rapid. They measure the vibrational energy levels that are affiliated with the chemical bonds in a sample. IR and Raman spectra are complementary to each other and provide scientists with images of vibrations
Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor which is formed in chromaffin cells of the adrenal glands. Pheochromocytomas are also known as adrenal chromaffin tumors (1). Chromaffin cells are found in the medulla of the adrenal glands (Figure 1). The adrenal glands located just above the kidneys. These cells receive neuronal messages from the brain via neurotransmitters and, as a result of these messages, release hormones in to the bloodstream (Figure 2). The main catecholamines produced in the adrenal glands
