Polymer architectures via mass spectrometry and hyphenated techniques: A review

Mass spectrometry of polymers and polymer surfaces.

Plenary Lectures L3.1 Utilization of hyphenated mass spectrometry with chromatographic techniques in plant and animal metabolomics. Search for biomarkers

Metabolomics involves the large-scale simultaneous (mul-tiparallel) qualitative and quantitative analysis of small metabolites present in biological samples from either human , animal or plant origins. As such, metabolomics is highly complementary to other tools including genom-ics, transcriptomics and proteomics. Especially sensitive mass spectrometry approaches have evolved as valuable techni...

Quantitative Synthetic Polymer Mass Spectrometry Workshop

Mass spectrometry is a rapidly evolving measurement technique for synthetic polymers. It holds the promise of providing not only absolute molecular mass distributions but also quantitative end-group and repeat-unit composition, and structural information such as branching and intramolecular loop formation. It serves as an invaluable complement to size-exclusion chromatography and light scatteri...

Ambient ionisation mass spectrometry for the characterisation of polymers and polymer additives: a review.

The purpose of this review is to showcase the present capabilities of ambient sampling and ionisation technologies for the analysis of polymers and polymer additives by mass spectrometry (MS) while simultaneously highlighting their advantages and limitations in a critical fashion. To qualify as an ambient ionisation technique, the method must be able to probe the surface of solid or liquid samp...

Identification of a metallothionein in Synechococcus by capillary electrophoresis hyphenated with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

A home-made system hyphenating capillary electrophoresis with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (CE-ICP-MS) for cadmium speciation of protein-binding and free cadmium ions in solution is presented. The CE-ICP-MS interface consisted of an acrylic block with an internal volume ca. 20 microL in which a platinum electrode, a capillary column, and a connection to an ICP nebulizer were ...
