SOLICITATION OF IONIZATION TECHNIQUE IN MASS SPECTROMETRY There are many ionization techniques combined with Mass spectrometry. Electron impact (EI) and Fast Atom Bombardment (FAB) are the classical ionization technique used mainly by the chemist. Now, these techniques for ionization are not generally used in modern mass spectrometry except EI for environmental work using GC-MS. Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI), electrospray ionization (ESI), Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization (MALDI) are Modern Ionization techniques in mass spectrometry. APCI forms a protonated molecule and is completely compatible with Liquid Chromatography (LC) and so it is more preferred over EI methods. Electrospray Ionization Method Combined with Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) has eliminated the application of FAB because it produces the protonated molecules, which made FAB v...

Mass Spectrometry: Reveal Secrets There is something unique pattern in fingerprints of an individual which constitute of valleys and ridges. Mass Spectrometry imaging of chemical compounds in fingerprints help in determination of lifestyle of an individual. Mass spectrometry imaging visualizes the spatial relationship of each compound detected, allowing ridge detail and chemical information in a single analysis. The presence of a single compound may not be sufficient to provide detailed information about an individual, but the compilation of multiple compounds present in a latent fingerprint may give insight into one’s lifestyle. Chromatography and mass spectrometry coupled methods, such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), provide chemical fingerprint information, but typically require multiple fingerprints with no spatially relevant information. The multiplex method allowed MS/MS of citric acid, tartaric a...
Proteomic Experiment: Mass Spectrometry Cellular factories localize and push proteins into compartments where they perform their variety of the functions and subcellular protein provide high-end indication for its activities. Researchers can envisage protein dispersal in the cell by using Super-resolution microscopy by applying antibodies or by tagging proteins with florescent probes. Such kind of method is not innovative and researchers have to pin down their choice of proteins to a known set. Unbiased Mass Spectrometry based proteomic method present expansive way, and the credit goes to the specificity, accuracy and scale they provide. Lately researchers are using the approach to learn protein activity at the sub cellular level. The new dubbed spatial proteomic methodology, offer researchers to build a comprehensive cellular maps and show the hidden life of proteins- who they interact with, where they live & they move around- in healthy as well as in diseased cells. We ...
