1 Mass Spectrometry Hyphenated Techniques GC-MS LC-MS and MS-MS

2 Reasons for Using Chromatography with MS Mixture analysis by MS alone is difficult Fragmentation from ionization (EI or CI) Fragments from each component in one spectrum yields intractable interpretation Suppression effects in soft techniques (ESI) Analytes that are less abundant or ionize poorly may not be detected Quantitation of mixtures is less accurate and less sensitive than quantitation of components that have been chromatographically separated

3 Chromatography -MS Data Rather than averaging all data into one spectrum, each full scan is saved separately to create a chromatogram TIC - Total Ion Chromatogram EIC - Extracted Ion Chromatogram Scan speed is critical for resolution of close-eluting components peaks could be missed or averaged together spectral tilting Intensities of low/high mass ions skewed

4 Chromatography -MS Data Identification of Components Background subtraction can be useful in cleaning up spectra Can remove background ions Can remove ions from co-eluting tailing compound EIC can support/contradict that two MS peaks are from the same/different compounds Comparing whether time profiles overlap EIC can show if ions come from the peak or are in the background

5 Offline LCMS LC may also be coupled with MS by fraction collection (ion exchange, size exclusion chromatography, TLC, Flash Column) Fractions may be analyzed by any compatible MS technique Offline Automation LC eluent can be spotted onto a MALDI target using a robot for MS analysis

6 LC in line with MS Liquid chromatography may be directly coupled to mass spectrometry using an APCI or ESI source Typical flow rates: 100 µl/min-2.5ml/min: APCI source > 1 ml/min: ESI source, usually need splitter ( 4.6 mm column) 1 µl/min - 1 ml/min: ESI source (200 µm- 4.6 mm column) < 1 µl/min: nanospray source ( 150 µm column)

7 Types of LC coupled inline to MS Most common= reversed phase (i.e. C18, C8, C4) Ion exchange Normal phase Affinity 2D Chromatography (Ion Exchange followed by reversed phase)

8 Restrictions Non-volatile salts should be avoided as signal suppression will result Strong ion-pairing agents such as trifluoroacetate should similarly be avoided Need polar solvents for ESI Normal phase not compatible with ESI (Use APCI) Additives must be compatible with ionization mode (i.e. ph of separation must match desired ions) Or use post-column addition

9 GCMS With the advent of capillary columns, GC columns can be inserted directly into the ionization source GC is typically coupled to EI, CI, and FI GC-MS is applicable to a narrower range of compounds due to volatility requirements When GC/MS is applicable, it is a fairly trouble free technique

10 Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS or MS n ) Soft ionization techniques such as ESI only result in parent ions, revealing no structural information Hard ionization techniques yield fragments, but specific precursor-product relationships cannot be obtained Isolate and fragment precursor ion and measure m/z of product ions to obtain structural information One mass analyzer isolates, another scans for products

11 Common Methods of Fragmentation Threshold Dissociation (Weakest bonds are broken) Collision Induced Dissociation (CID) Apply an electric field to accelerate precursor ions and induce bond cleavage via collision with neutral gas molecules (Ar, N 2 ) Infrared Multiphoton Dissociation (IRMPD) Use infrared laser to break bonds Electron Capture Dissociation (ECD) (Random) Multiply-charged cations capture electrons, inducing oddelectron fragmentation

12 CID + Ar + + Accelerated Precursor Ion Fragmentation through one or more collisions + Product Ions (And Neutrals)

13 IRMPD + hν + + Isolated Precursor Ion Fragmentation by one or more photons + Product Ions (And Neutrals)

14 ECD/ETD + e - or M Isolated Precursor Ion Capture of one or more electrons Product Ions (And Neutrals)

15 Instruments for MS/MS Instruments where one or more analyzers are placed in series Triple Quadrupole (CID at ev levels) Four Sector (CID at kev levels) Quadrupole-Time-of-Flight (Q-TOF) (CID ev) TOF-TOF Trapping Instruments Quadrupole Ion Trap (CID ev, IRMPD, ECD) FT-ICR (CID, SORI-CID, IRMPD, ECD)

16 Quadrupole Ion Trap M+H MS/MS is done in one analyzer - Precursor Ion is Isolated by selective ejection - Precursor ion is given kinetic energy - Fragments are formed and trapped - Trap is scanned to detect products - Products can be isolated and fragmented etc.

17 Tandem Mass Spectrometry in an Ion Trap 1) Measure Full Spectrum 2) Ion Isolation: e.g., Precursor m/z ± Relative Abundance m/z ) Add Collision Energy 4) Measure m/z of Fragment Ions [For Peptide SLNVALR] Fragmentation of SLNVAL SLNVA SLNV SLN SL S R LR ALR VALR NVALR LNVALR Courtesy of the MSCLS at the Univ. of Minn.

Mass Spectroscopy. Base peak. Molecular Ion peak. The positively charged fragments produced are separated, based on their mass/charge (m/z) ratio. M+. Mass spectrometry is the study of systems causing the formation of gaseous ions, with or without fragmentation, which are then characteried by their mass to charge ratios (m/) and relative abundances.
