Capillary high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ion trap time-of-flight mass spectrometry using a novel nanoflow gradient generator.

A type of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) based on a novel nanoflow gradient generator (Asymptotic-Trace-10-Port-Valve (AT10PV) nanoGR generator) was developed and coupled with an electrospray ion trap time-of-flight mass spectrometer (ESI-IT-TOF MS). Stability of the nanoflow GR HPLC system was tested at flow rates of 20 and 50 nL/min by using a nanoflow meter. Average flow rates in a 2-h run were 51.2 nL/min with RSD 0.7% and 21.0 nL/min with RSD 1.8%. Repeatability of analysis of the nanoHPLC/ESI-IT-TOF MS system was also tested by injecting 1.0 microL of trypsin digested bovine serum albumin (BSA) (100 fmol) into a monolithic silica-ODS column (30 microm i.d., 150 mm in length) through a packed silica-ODS trapping column (particle size 5 microm, 150 microm i.d., 10 mm in length). At a flow rate of 50 nL/min, the result demonstrated a reasonably good repeatability of peak retention times (RSD: 0.32-1.1%) and base-ion peak areas (RSD: 4.4-6.6%).

Nanoflow gradient generator for capillary high-performance liquid chromatography-nanoelectrospray mass spectrometry.

A novel nanoflow gradient generator using a 10-port switching valve with two injection loops installed, which is referred to here as the "Asymptotic-Trace-10-Port-Valve" (AT10PV) nanoGR generator, has been applied to capillary high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-microelectrospray (microESI) or nanoelectrospray (nanoESI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF MS). In this study, performance of this capillary HPLC-micro/nanoESI-MS system was tested at a flow rate of 200 nl/min by using three typical peptides (angiotensins I, II, and III: 50 fmol each). The result demonstrated that this system provides reasonably good repeatability of peak retention times (R. S.D. of less than 0.5%). Sequential runs of a series of sample injections were performed in the same manner as conventional analysis at microflow rates.

Nanoflow gradient generator for capillary high-performance liquid chromatography.

A novel method of generating a nanoflow gradient elution for a capillary high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system has been developed. An important feature of this system is that any gradient (GR) profile generated by a conventional microflow GR pump can be asymptotically traced and converted as a corresponding nanoflow GR profile simply by using a 10-port switching valve with two injection loops installed. Consequently, it has been called an "asymptotic trace 10-port valve" (AT10PV) nanoflow GR generator. Performance of the AT10PV nanoflow GR generator was tested in the range of flow rates from 50 to 500 nL/min. The test demonstrated that the AT10PV nanoflow GR generator can asymptotically trace the original gradient profile with good reproducibility. A capillary HPLC system using the AT10PV nanoflow GR generator provides reasonably good repeatability of peak retention times on the chromatogram of the tryptic digest of a BSA sample, RSD of less than 0.3% at a flow rate of 200 nL/min. It also enables sequential running of a series of sample injections in the same manner as conventional analysis at microflow rates.

Enhanced mass detection of oligonucleotides using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization ion-trap mass spectrometry.

A new method providing enhanced sensitivity for the analysis of oligonucleotides using an on-line coupled system of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and electrospray ionization ion-trap mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) has been developed. The presented method allows the use of the standard gradient elution of 0.1 M triethylammonium acetate (TEAA) buffer (adjusted to pH 7.0 with acetic acid) and acetonitrile that is typically used for the separation of oligonucleotides in RP-HPLC. An added feature of this method is the ability to combine and mix additional 0.1 M imidazole in acetonitrile after the separation column for improved ESI-MS performance. This is similar to the post-column reaction method in liquid chromatography (LC) and the liquid sheath flow method in LC/ESI-MS, both of which offer the advantage of not compromising the chromatographic separation conditions. The application of this new method is demonstrated to afford improved sensitivity for the analysis of oligonucleotides (20-50 mer) via on-line coupled HPLC/ESI-MS analysis and purification systems.
