Abstract

A spectroscopic method for the quantitative determination of NO in aqueous solution is presented. The method is based on the uv absorbance of nitrosothiols, coupled with the inner filter effect. A threshold of 5.10(-7) M with a wide dynamic range of 5.10(-7)-10(-4) M are obtained. This method enables measurements in brain homogenates. Ultimately, since this method is immune to electrical perturbances, it will be applied at the tip of an optical fiber for in situ monitoring of NO or glutathione in brain and blood vessels.

Automated high-throughput mass spectrometric analysis of synthetic oligonucleotides.

The use of automated sample preparation and data collection coupled with delayed ion extraction matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization with time-of-flight detection mass spectrometry (DE MALDI-TOF MS) enables the rapid mass analysis of oligonucleotide samples. We have incorporated a matrix-diluting and liquid-spotting automated work station and a DE MALDI mass spectrometer to provide high-throughput analysis of synthetic oligonucleotides. Automated sample preparation greatly speeds processing while the spotting function allows for precise sample placement on a 100-well sample plate. The DE MALDI MS typically determines the mass of each sample to within 0.13 +/- 0.10% of the theoretically expected mass. This mass accuracy allows confirmation of identity and detection of low-level impurities present in synthetic oligonucleotide samples with an unprecedented degree of confidence. Using this automation suite, sample preparation, spotting, and analysis of 100 samples ranging from 12 to 70 bases in length can be routinely completed in less than 90 min.

A microbore high performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry method for the determination of the phytoestrogens genistein and daidzein in comminuted baby foods and soya flour.

A microbore high performance liquid chromatographic/electrospray/mass spectrometric (HPLC/ESI-MS) method has been developed for the determination of the phytoestrogens daidzein and genistein in soya flours and baby foods. The samples were hydrolysed and extracted with acetonitrile-water prior to analysis. LC was performed on a microbore Primesphere 5C8 column using a water/acetonitrile/acetic acid mobile phase at a flow rate of 60 microliters/min. Atmospheric pressure ionization in the form of pneumatically assisted electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was used as the method of detection. The limit of detection was 0.2 mg/ kg for daidzein and 0.7 mg/kg for genistein in the flour and food samples. The method proved both robust and reliable when operated over a long time period (10 days, 463 injections) generating precision data with a coefficient of variation of 4-15%.
