Improving the accuracy of δ < sup > 18 < /sup > O and δ < sup > 17 < /sup > O values of O < sub > 2 < /sub > measured by continuous-flow isotope-ratio mass spectrometry with a multipoint isotope-ratio calibration
CONCLUSIONS: No significant bias is introduced on the δ18 O scale when applying a one-point calibration with O2 from ambient air during O2 isotope analysis. Both O2 formation and consumption experiments, however, indicate a δ17 O scale compression. Consequently, δ17 O values cannot be measured accurately by GC/IRMS with a one-point calibration without determining the δ17 O scale correction factor, e.g. with the O2 formation experiments described here.PMID:38073201 | DOI:10.1002/rcm.9652 (Source: Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry : RCM)

On-line chloride removal from ion chromatography for trace-level analyses of phosphite and other anions by coupled ion chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
CONCLUSIONS: The on-line removal mechanism works well for simplifying sample matrices. It removes the need for costly pre-analytical sample treatment with OnGuard columns. We confirm that IC/ICPMS is the most powerful technique for quantifying phosphite in natural solutions. The new chloride-removal method may also be applicable to analyses of other anions.PMID:38073202 | DOI:10.1002/rcm.9665 (Source: Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry : RCM)

Volatile fingerprints of beef cooking methods using sol-gel-based solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and direct analysis in real-time mass spectrometry (DART-MS)
CONCLUSIONS: The sol-gel-based solid-phase microextraction technique combined with DART-MS was successful in differentiating beef cooking methods based on their volatile fingerprints. A workflow for rapid assessment of the volatile profile from beef cooking methods was established, providing a baseline to further explore volatile profiles from other key ingredients.PMID:38073203 | DOI:10.1002/rcm.9655 (Source: Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry : RCM)

Unusual modifications of protein biomarkers expressed by plasmid, prophage, and bacterial host of pathogenic Escherichia coli identified using top-down proteomic analysis
CONCLUSIONS: TDP analysis, coupled with other techniques (e.g., antibiotic induction, chemical reduction, plasmid sequencing, and in silico protein modeling), is a powerful tool to identify proteins (and their modifications), including prophage- and plasmid-encoded proteins, produced by pathogenic microorganisms.PMID:38073204 | DOI:10.1002/rcm.9667 (Source: Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry : RCM)
