Abstract:
... A fast method for the determination of methylxanthines in cocoa products and drugs based on PS-MS/MS under MRM condition has been developed. Analyte ions were generated by applying a high voltage on a paper substrate drenched of sample extract using a small volume (∼15 μL) of spray solvent. The gas phase chemistry of the molecules under investigation has been elucidated. The accuracy values of the ...

Abstract:
... Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is an analytical technique that separates gas‐phase ions drifting under an electric field according to their size to charge ratio. We used electrospray ionization‐drift tube IMS coupled to quadrupole mass spectrometry to measure the mobilities of glucosamine (GH⁺) and caffeine (CH⁺) ions in pure nitrogen or when the shift reagent (SR) 2‐butanol was introduced in the ...
... The design and operation of an inexpensive, miniature low-temperature plasma ion source is detailed. The miniature low-temperature plasma ion source is operated in a “flow-through” configuration, wherein the gaseous or aerosolized analyte, caffeine or pyrolyzed ethyl cellulose, in a carrier gas is used as the plasma gas. In this flow-through configuration, the sensitivity for the caffeine standard ...
... In this study, packed column supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) was directly coupled to a continuous corona discharge (CD) ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) with several modifications. The main advantage of the developed detector is its capability to introduce full column effluent up to 2000mLmin⁻¹ CO₂ gas directly into the IMS cell relative to 40mLmin⁻¹ CO₂ gas as a maximum tolerance, reporte ...
... A micro-probe (μ-probe) gas sampling device for on-line analysis of gases evolving in confined, small objects by single-photon ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SPI-TOFMS) was developed. The technique is applied for the first time in a feasibility study to record the formation of volatile and flavour compounds during the roasting process within (inside) or in the direct vicinity (outsid ...
binding capacity; caffeine; dissociation; gases; receptors; tandem mass spectrometry
Abstract:
... A modification of our triphenylene ketal based receptor facilitates electrospray tandem mass spectrometry investigations. Binding affinities of eleven potential substrates, e.g. caffeine and other xanthine alkaloids, are probed in the gas phase with collision induced dissociation. The relative stabilities of the substrate-receptor complexes are rapidly determined and the findings are correlated wi ...
... A high-performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–tandem mass spectrometric method for simultaneous determination of seven adulterants including pseudoephedrine, norpseudoephedrine, caffeine, strychnine, fenfluramine, sildenafil, and amfepramone in slimming functional foods was established. For tablet formulation, the target chemicals were extracted with ammoniated methanol, while f ...
