Application of Knowledge Based Systems Technology to Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry

چکیده
2. The TQMS Domain The complexity of chemical instrumentation is such that automation of certain instrument functions by conventional algorithmic means is either very difficult or completely unsuitable. This paper details work in progress on the application of knowledge based systems technology to the tuning of a complex analytical instrument, a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (TQMS) . The knowledge representation schemes and interface design between the expert system and the TQMS instrument are discussed. Preliminary results of optimizing the TQMS on chemical standards are presented.

Development and application of an analytical method using gas chromatography/triple quadrupole mass spectrometry for characterizing alkylated chrysenes in crude oil samples.
RATIONALE Recent advances in analytical techniques have led to the development of gas chromatography/triple quadrupole mass spectrometry methods that allow the identification of target analytes in complex environmental samples. We have employed this technology to develop a method for characterizing alkylated chrysenes, which are environmental toxins that are resistant to weathering. METHODS A...
متن کاملTriple quadrupole linear ion trap mass spectrometer for the analysis of small molecules and macromolecules.
Recently, linear ion traps (LITs) have been combined with quadrupole (Q), time-of-flight (TOF) and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry (MS). LITs can be used either as ion accumulation devices or as commercially available, stand-alone mass spectrometers with MSn capabilities. The combination of triple quadrupole MS with LIT technology in the form of an instrumen...
متن کاملAn introduction to quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
A brief introduction is presented to the basic principles and application of a quadrupole-time-of-flight (TOF) tandem mass spectrometer. The main features of reflecting TOF instruments with orthogonal injection of ions are discussed. Their operation and performance are compared with those of triple quadrupoles with electrospray ionization and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) ...
متن کاملOptimizing Detection of Steroids in Wastewaters Using the Agilent 6490 Triple Quadrupole LC/MS System with iFunnel Technology
Taking full advantage of the enhanced sensitivity of the Agilent 6490 Triple Quadrupole LC/MS System requires optimization of method parameters derived on other Triple Quadrupole platforms. Optimization of steroid analysis methods in the complex matrix of wastewater results in sensitivity as low as sub-1 ng/L (1 part per trillion).

Systems toxicology is a broad-based approach to describe many of the toxicological features that occur within a living system under stress or subjected to exogenous or endogenous exposures. The ultimate goal is to capture an overview of all exposures and the ensuing biological responses of the body. The term exposome has been employed to refer to the totality of all exposures, and systems toxic...
