... Three dimensions of chromatographic separation, using split-flow two-dimensional liquid chromatography (SF-2D-LC) with two parallel second dimensions, LC × 2LC, combined with quadruple parallel mass spectrometry (LC3MS4) is demonstrated for analysis of NIST SRM 1849a adult/infant formula. The first dimension, ¹D, was a conventional non-aqueous reversed-phase (NARP) HPLC separation using two C18 co ...

Abstract:
... Most chromatographic and mass spectrometric instruments include workstations that allow data processing and target compound quantification. However, the software used for quantification does not all use common approaches for statistical treatment of data. Presented here is a brief description of three commonly used workstation software packages (WSPs) and the degree to which they obey widely accep ...
... Among the goals of lipidomics applied to triacylglycerols (TAGs) is identification of molecular species, degree and location of unsaturation, and positions of fatty acyl chains (i.e., identification of regioisomers). Toward those ends, we define one, two, and three “Critical Ratios” for Types I, II, and III TAGs that provided different aspects of the desired information. Critical Ratio 1, [MH]⁺/Σ[ ...
... A contact closure system was constructed that uses two contact closure sender boards that communicate wirelessly to four contact closure receiver boards to distribute start signals from two or three liquid chromatographs to 14 instruments, pumps, detectors, or other components. Default high, closed low, TTL logic (5-volt) start signals from two autosamplers are converted to simple contacts by powe ...
... A “dilute-and-shoot” method for vitamin D and triacylglycerols is demonstrated that employed four mass spectrometers, operating in different ionization modes, for a “quadruple parallel mass spectrometry” analysis, plus three other detectors, for seven detectors overall. Sets of five samples of dietary supplement gelcaps labeled to contain 25.0μg (1000 International Units, IU) vitamin D3 in olive o ...
... A method is demonstrated for analysis of vitamin D fortified dietary supplements that eliminates virtually all chemical pretreatment prior to analysis, which is referred to as a “dilute-and-shoot” method. Three mass spectrometers, in parallel, plus a UV detector, an evaporative light-scattering detector (ELSD), and a corona charged aerosol detector (CAD) were used to allow a comparison of six dete ...
... Compositional changes of powder dietary supplements made from mushrooms exposed to different levels of UV-B irradiation were evaluated for the bioactive naturally occurring mushroom antioxidant, ergothioneine; other natural polyphenolic compounds, e.g., flavonoids, lignans, etc.; and selected phytosterols. Four types of mushroom powder consisting of white, brown (Agaricus bisporus), oyster (Pleuro ...

Abstract:
... Total lipid extracts containing both polar and non-polar lipids were separated using two liquid chromatographic systems joined together using a column switching valve. Detection was accomplished using mass spectrometers attached to each of the two liquid chromatographic systems, for a dual liquid chromatography/dual mass spectrometry (LC2/MS2) arrangement. This experimental approach is demonstrate ...
