Methods and systems for the detection and quantification of multiplicity of ionic analytes comprising CrO42−, AsO43−, SeO42−, and ClO4−, and optionally F−, Cl−, NO2−, NO3−, SO42−, using ion chromatography and suppressed ion conductivity. The method comprises loading a sample loop with a sample; injecting the sample from the sample loop into a column with an eluent, wherein the column comprises a guard column and an analytical column; separating, with the column, the injected sample at an effective separation temperature the injected sample in the presence of an organic modifier into a multiplicity of detectable ionic analytes; suppressing, with a suppressor, background signal; and detecting, with a detector, the multiplicity of ionic analytes.

Described herein are systems and techniques for improving operation of a gas chromatograph or a computer that identifies compounds that correspond to peaks in a graph of gas chromatograph data (chromatogram). Each of the peaks included in the chromatogram may be associated with retention times that are measured amounts of time that correspond to how long it took for respective compounds included in a sample to move through the gas chromatograph. Measured retention times may be compared to standard retention times to identify retention time shifts. These retention times shifts may correspond to a function that may be used to predict retention times of other compounds that could be included in the sample. When a measured retention time that is associated with an unclassified peak in the chromatogram matches a predicted retention time of a specific compound to a threshold level, the unclassified peak may be identified the specific compound.

A method and system for detecting pesticide residue in agricultural products. The system includes a chromatographic and mass-spectrometric system and a computer. The system inspects first and second sample solutions prepared from two identical extracts of an agricultural product. The first sample solution includes no additives while the second sample is added with a pesticide standard which is intended to be detected by the system for comparison. The computer compares the mass chromatograms of the first and second sample solutions, and calculate an increased integral area by which the peak of the second sample solution in the second mass chromatogram exceeds the peak of the first sample solution in the first mass chromatogram at the same retention time. As such, the concentration of pesticide residue in the sample can be determined by a ratio between the increased integral area and the concentration of the pesticide standard.

A method of generating an inclusion list for targeted mass spectrometric analysis is disclosed. Experimentally-acquired data for a plurality of isobarically-labeled peptides of interest is received at a computer. The data includes, for each of the isobarically-labeled peptides, a mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio, a charge state, and a chromatographic retention time. Predicted properties for a corresponding unlabeled peptide are determined via the computer. The predicted properties include a predicted m/z, a predicted charge state, and a predicted chromatographic retention time. The predicted properties for each corresponding unlabeled peptide are stored to the inclusion list. The predicted chromatographic retention time for the corresponding unlabeled peptide is determined based on hydrophobicity indices of the isobarically-labeled peptide and the corresponding unlabeled peptide, and chromatographic conditions for the targeted mass spectrometric analysis.

A method for identifying a polypeptide a specimen can include (i) treating a specimen suspected of including an insulin with a base; (ii) extracting a first fraction of the treated specimen by solid phase extraction using a mixed mode or polymeric reversed-phase media and a first solvent including an acid; (iii) separating a component of the first fraction by liquid chromatography using a chromatographic surface including a hydrophobic surface group and one or more ionizable modifiers, and a second solvent including an acid; and (iv) analyzing the component of the first fraction by mass spectroscopy, thereby identifying the polypeptide, if present, using a signal corresponding to a sequence fragment ion from the polypeptide. The signal can correspond to an intact multiply charged precursor fragment selected in a first quadrupole and its corresponding sequence fragment ion selected in a final quadrupole.
摘要:
A two-dimensional chromatogram creator creates a two-dimensional chromatogram based on data obtained for each of two samples. A chromatogram difference calculator creates a two-dimensional differential chromatogram showing the intensity difference between the two two-dimensional chromatograms. A blob detector detects blobs on each chromatogram. A matching-blob extractor compares the blobs located on the differential chromatogram with those located on each of the two other chromatograms, to extract blobs which can be considered to be located at the same temporal position. If there are two blobs extracted at the same temporal position on the two chromatograms, a normalized value of the intensity difference between the two blobs is calculated, and the line type of the boundary line for indicating the extracted blob on the display is chosen according to that value. Important blobs having significant intensity differences on the two chromatograms being compared can be automatically selected and presented to analysis operators.

摘要:
In processing chromatographic data, collected by performing a measurement for each of the segments which respectively define time ranges, a system determines whether there is any boundary sandwiched between two temporally continuous segments whose measurement modes are the same and which has the same m/z value designated by an operator to be displayed. If such a boundary exists, the measurement mode common to the two neighboring segments across that boundary is identified, and the system determines whether the parameter values corresponding to that measurement mode are the same. If they are the same, the partial chromatograms corresponding to the two segments show a temporal change in the intensity of the same kind of ion. Accordingly, the two neighboring measurement points across the boundary are connected by interpolation to create a chromatogram with no missing portion.
