20140147878 | LC-MS SEPARATION AND DETECTION OF VITAMIN D METABOLITES - Systems, kits, and methods for quantitation of metabolites of vitamin D by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The systems, kits, and methods described herein stabilize and/or promote the formation of the protonated molecular ion ([M+H]+) for the vitamin D metabolites in the ionization source (e.g., electrospray ionization (“ESI”)). Formation of the molecular ion does not involve loss of a water molecule from the parent molecule. Subsequent fragmentation of the [M+H]+ ion yields product ions that are specific to each molecular ion. The systems, kits, and methods described herein provide for no compromise in specificity and provide for a significant increase in sensitivity relative to previously described methods. | 05-29-2014 |
20140047906 | LC-MS CONFIGURATION FOR PURIFICATION AND DETECTION OF ANALYTES HAVING A BROAD RANGE OF HYDROPHOBICITES - Systems, apparatuses, kits, and methods for purification and analysis of analytes having a broad range of hydrophobicities by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Using one set of liquid chromatography columns, one set of mobile phase buffers, and, optionally, a single ionization method (e.g., electrospray ionization), a wide range of analytes can be purified and analyzed on a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) system. LC-MS purification and analysis of analytes having a broad range of partition coefficients is accomplished by selecting LC run parameters and MS system parameters that are particular to different classes of analytes without having to make column or buffer changes or any other hardware configuration changes to the LC-MS system. The methods, systems, and kits described herein provide for substantially increased speed/throughput and ease of use for a wide range analytes with essentially no compromise in specificity for individual analytes relative to previously described methods. | 02-20-2014 |
20080307861 | Method For Screening Mobile Phases In Chromatography Systems - A method and system of screening or selecting a mobile phase eluent for a chromatography column is provided. A sample for chromatographic analysis or purification is combined with a solvent and passed through a membrane. A pressure measurement is taken of the sample/solvent combination in the system prior to the membrane. The pressure measurement may be compared to a second pressure and an appropriate solvent may be selected based on the relationship between the first measured pressure and the second pressure. | 12-18-2008 |
