    摘要: A horizontal electrophoresis assembly is described which is designed to utilize very thin gels of polyacrylamide. The assembly allows for water cooling of the gel during electrophoresis so that higher voltages can be applied to the gel without polymer degradation. The gel mold is made from a set of glass plates which are clamped into place defining a gel mold between them. In one embodiment, the site of field introduction is separated from the site of sample introduction so that the electric field is generally linear at the region of sample introduction.

    摘要: Apparatus and method for detecting the occurrence of a dial pulse signal in a telephone circuit. Transient signals within the frequency range of possible dial pulse signals are detected, and the amplitude of the detected signals are compared with a predetermined amplitude level. A first time period and a second time period are initiated in response to a first detected signal which exceeds a certain initial reference amplitude, with the duration of the first time period being less than the interval between the two consecutive transient pulse signals to be expected of a true dial pulse signal. The duration of the second time period is substantially equal to the period of a true dial pulse signal. A received signal resembling a dial pulse signal is detected during the first period only if the amplitude of such signal exceeds a second reference amplitude which is greater than the initial reference amplitude. A second apparent dial pulse transient signal condition, occurring after the termination of the first time period but before the termination of the second time period, is interpreted as the occurrence of a true dial pulse signal, in response to which a corresponding dial pulse output signal is produced. A second apparent dial pulse transient signal condition occurring in the first time period, however, merely extends the duration of the first time period and provides no dial pulse output signal. An amplitude comparison circuit automatically adjusts the reference amplitude in response to the signal level of the circuit providing input signals to the apparatus.

    摘要: A fast and sensitive method and device for protein sequencing are disclosed. The method uses a combination of Edman degradation chemistry and mass spectrometry to sequence proteins and polypeptides. A peptide degradation reaction is performed on a polypeptide or protein ion reactant in the gas phase. The reaction yields a first ion product corresponding to a first amino acid residue of the polypeptide or protein reactant and a polypeptide or protein fragment ion. The mass-to-charge ratio for the first ion product, or the polypeptide or protein fragment ion, or both, is then determined. The first amino acid residue of the polypeptide or protein reactant is then identified from the mass-to-charge ratio so determined.

    摘要: Relative quantification of metabolites by Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS) requiring a mechanism for simultaneous analysis of multiple analytes in two or more samples. Labeling reagents that are reactive to particular compound classes and differ only in their isotopic compositions facilitate relative quantification. Heavy and light isotopic forms of methylacetimidate were synthesized and used as labeling reagents for quantification of amine-containing molecules. Heavy and light isotopic forms of formaldehyde and cholamine were also synthesized and used independently as labeling reagents for quantification of amine-containing and carboxylic acid-containing molecules, such as found in biological samples. The labeled end-products are positively charged under normal acidic conditions involving conventional Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) applications. Labeled primary and secondary amine and carboxylic acid end-products generated higher signals concerning mass-spectra than pre-cursor molecules and improved sensitivity. Improved accuracy concerning relative quantification was demonstrated by mixing heavy and light labeled Arabidopsis extracts in different ratios.

    摘要: Methods and devices for use in mass spectral analysis of samples. In particular, methods and devices for generating ions from liquid samples containing chemical species with high molecular masses. These methods and devices provide a continuous or pulsed stream of gas phase analyte ions of either positive polarity, negative polarity or both possessing either a selected fixed charge-state distribution or one that may be selectively varied with time. More specifically, ion sources with adjustable control of the charge-state distribution of the gas phase analyte ions generated are provided in which charged droplets and/or gas phase analyte ions are exposed to electrons and/or gas phase reagent ions generated by a reagent ion source to provide desired control. A corona discharge exemplifies the reagent ion source employed in charge-state distribution control. In a specific preferred ion source, a corona discharge is provided within a shielded region to minimize the deflection of gas phase analyte ions, charged droplets. The methods and devices provided herein are particularly well-suited to the analysis of polymers and biological species.
