Tandem mass spectrometry using continuous-wave infrared multiphoton dissociation in an electrostatic linear ion trap
CONCLUSIONS: Fragmentation at the turnaround point of an ELIT by continuous-wave infrared multiphoton dissociation (cw-IRMPD) is demonstrated. In cases where laser power absorption is low and fragmentation occurs over many laps, a mirror-switching pulse may be used to recover varying time-domain signal. The combination of laser activation at the turnaround points and mirror-switching isolation allows for tandem MS in the ELIT.PMID:38356088 | DOI:10.1002/rcm.9698 (Source: Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry : RCM)

The absolute δ < sup > 18 < /sup > O value for SLAP with respect to VSMOW reveals a much lower value than previously established
CONCLUSIONS: Although this finding as such does not influence the use of the VSMOW-SLAP scale, it raises the intriguing question of what we actually measure with our instruments and why even a fully corrected measurement can be so far off. Our result has consequences for issues like the transfer of δ18 O from and to the VPDB scale, various fractionation factors, and Δ17 O. The absolute 18 O abundance for SLAP was calculated as (1887.98 ± 0.43) × 10-6 based on the absolute 18 O abundance of VSMOW and the presented δ18 OSLAP in this paper.PMID:38356090 | DOI:10.1002/rcm.9678 (Source: Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry : RCM)

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry selected ion monitoring and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry selected reaction monitoring analyses of mono-, di- and tri-unsaturated C < sub > 25 < /sub > highly branched isoprenoid alkene biomarkers in sea ice and sediment samples: A comparative study
CONCLUSIONS: Despite the intense migrations of HBI double bonds under electron ionization, the selected SRM transitions should be more suitable than SIM target ions for IP25 and HBI III quantification in complex hydrocarbon fractions of natural samples. However, the advantage is less evident for IPSO25 due to the presence of numerous regio-isomers.PMID:38356092 | DOI:10.1002/rcm.9704 (Source: Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry : RCM)

Detailed profiling of polysorbate 80 oxidative degradation products and hydrolysates using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis
CONCLUSIONS: This study clearly showed the presence of changes in PS80 oxidative and/or enzymatic degradation products, including those previously unreported. These results demonstrate that a detailed profiling of PS80 degradation products can be performed using LC/MS/MS, which is less expensive and more generally adopted than high-resolution MS.PMID:38351644 | DOI:10.1002/rcm.9715 (Source: Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry : RCM)

Pharmacokinetic study of osilodrostat and identification of mono-hydroxylated metabolite in equine plasma for the purpose of doping control
CONCLUSIONS: For doping control, screening of both the parent drug osilodrostat and its mono-hydroxylated metabolite in equine plasma would be recommended due to their extended detection windows of up to 2 weeks. Given the availability of reference material for potential confirmation in forensic samples, osilodrostat is considered the most appropriate monitoring target.PMID:38355879 | DOI:10.1002/rcm.9695 (Source: Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry : RCM)
