Abstract
Low Molecular Weight Heparins (LMWHs) are well-established for use in the prevention and treatment of thrombotic diseases, and as a substitute for unfractionated heparin (UFH) due to their predictable pharmacokinetics and subcutaneous bioavailability. LMWHs are produced by various depolymerization methods from UFH, resulting in heterogeneous compounds with similar biochemical and pharmacological properties. However, the delicate supply chain of UFH and potential contamination from animal sources require new manufacturing approaches for LMWHs. Various LMWH preparation methods are emerging, such as chemical synthesis, enzymatic or chemical depolymerization and chemoenzymatic synthesis. To establish the sameness of active ingredients in both innovator and generic LMWH products, the Food and Drug Administration has implemented a stringent scientific method of equivalence based on physicochemical properties, heparin source material and depolymerization techniques, disaccharide composition and oligosaccharide mapping, biological and biochemical properties, and in vivo pharmacodynamic profiles. In this review, we discuss currently available LMWHs, potential manufacturing methods, and recent progress for manufacturing quality control of these LMWHs.

Abstract
Heparin is an unbranched periodic polysaccharide composed of negatively charged monomers and involved in key biological processes, including anticoagulation, angiogenesis, and inflammation. Its structure and dynamics have been studied extensively using experimental as well as theoretical approaches. The conventional approach of computational chemistry applied to the analysis of biomolecules is all-atom molecular dynamics, which captures the interactions of individual atoms by solving Newton's equation of motion. An alternative is molecular dynamics simulations using coarse-grained models of biomacromolecules, which offer a reduction of the representation and consequently enable us to extend the time and size scale of simulations by orders of magnitude. In this work, we extend the UNIfied COarse-gRaiNed (UNICORN) model of biological macromolecules developed in our laboratory to heparin. We carried out extensive tests to estimate the optimal weights of energy terms of the effective energy function as well as the optimal Debye-Hückel screening factor for electrostatic interactions. We applied the model to study unbound heparin molecules of polymerization degree ranging from 6 to 68 residues. We compare the obtained coarse-grained heparin conformations with models obtained from X-ray diffraction studies of heparin. The SUGRES-1P force field was able to accurately predict the general shape and global characteristics of heparin molecules.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are heterogeneous acidic polysaccharides involved in a range of biological functions. They have a significant influence on the regulation of cellular processes and the development of various diseases and infections. To fully understand the functional roles that GAGs play in mammalian systems, including disease processes, it is essential to understand their structural features. Despite having a linear structure and a repetitive disaccharide backbone, their structural analysis is challenging and requires elaborate preparative and analytical techniques. In particular, the extent to which GAGs are sulfated, as well as variation in sulfate position across the entire oligosaccharide or on individual monosaccharides, represents a major obstacle. Here, we summarize the current state-of-the-art methodologies used for GAG sample preparation and analysis, discussing in detail liquid chromatograpy and mass spectrometry-based approaches, including advanced ion activation methods, ion mobility separations and infrared action spectroscopy of mass-selected species.

Abstract
Heparin is a subject of ever-growing interest for laboratory researchers and pharmaceutical industry. One of the driving factors is its critical life-saving drug status, which during the COVID-19 pandemic has assumed a central role in disease treatment and/or prevention. Apart, heparin is one amongst few drugs enjoying a "demand constant" status. In 2020, heparin market size was valued to US$6.5 bn., and given the ongoing stability in the COVID-19 health crisis, it is expected to reach US$11.43 bn. by 2027 with yearly growth rate momentum (CAGR) of 3.9% during the forecast period (Pepi et al., Mol Cell Proteomics 20:100,025, 2021). As patent is a limited monopoly, every year, many patents on low molecular weight heparin (LMWH; a chemically or enzymatically degraded product of unfractionated heparin) are losing market exclusivity worldwide, inviting the generic/biosimilar drug manufacturers to capture market share with cheaper drug products. By tracking patent expiration, drugs in patent litigation, regulatory setbacks for innovator companies (such as those seeking data exclusivity or patent term extension), or other unexpected events affecting market demand and competition, generics can make investment decisions in manufacturing off-patent LMWH drug products of commercial significance. However, given the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicine Agency (EMA), Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP), and other regulatory authorities scientifically rigorous standards for generic/biosimilar LMWH drug products marketing approval, the market is secured and momentous for drug makers that could demonstrate through scientific and clinical dataset that the generic/biosimilar LMWH drug product is of the same quality and purity as the innovator drug product. This study presents an overview of the patent landscape of commercially available LMWHs and advanced analytical techniques for their structural and biochemical characterization for quality control and quality assurance during manufacturing and post-marketing. The study also covers FDA, EMA, Health Canada, and DRAP's current approaches to evaluating the generic/biosimilar LMWH drug products for quality, safety including immunogenicity, and efficacy.

Abstract
As significant components of the organism, carbohydrates and glycoconjugates play indispensable roles in energy supply, cell signaling, immune modulation, and tumor cell invasion, and function as biomarkers since aberrance of them has been proved to be associated with the emergence and development of certain diseases. Functional nucleic acids (FNAs) have properties including easy-to-synthesize, good stability, good biocompatibility, low cost, and high programmability, they have attracted significant research attention and been incorporated into biosensors for detecting disease-related carbohydrates and glycoconjugates. This review summarizes the construction strategies and biosensing applications of FNAs-based biosensors in glycobiology in terms of target recognition and signal transduction. By illustrating the mechanisms and comparing the performances, the challenges and development opportunities in this area have been critically elaborated. We believe that this review will provide a better understanding of the role of FNAs in the analysis of disease-related carbohydrates and glycoconjugates, and inspire further discovery in fields that include glycobiology, chemical biology, clinical diagnosis, and drug development.

Abstract
A micro-capillary electrophoresis (μCE) system is one of the widely adopted techniques in the molecular diagnostics and DNA sequencing due to the benefits of high resolution, rapid analysis, and low reagent consumption, but due to the requirements of bulky high-power suppliers and an expensive laser-induced fluorescence detector module, the conventional set-up of μCE system is not adequate for point-of-care (POC) molecular diagnostics. In this study, we constructed a miniaturized and integrated μCE system which can be manipulated by a smartphone. The smartphone not only powers two boost converters and an excited laser, but also controls the relay for the power switch. Moreover, the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) camera of the smartphone was used for detecting the fluorescence signal of amplicons amplified with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). We also developed a web-based application so that the raw data of the recorded fluorescence intensity versus the running time can display typical capillary electropherograms on the smartphone. The total size of the hand-held μCE system was 9.6 cm [Width] × 22 cm [Length] × 15.5 cm [Height], and the weight was ∼1 kg, which is suitable for POC DNA testing. In the integrated smartphone-associated μCE system, we could accurately analyze two genes of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), namely N gene and S gene along with two bracket ladders in 6 min to identify SARS-CoV-2. Such an advanced μCE platform can be applied for a variety of on-site molecular diagnostics fields with user-friendliness.

The specificity of the malarial VAR2CSA protein for chondroitin sulfate depends on 4-O-sulfation and ligand accessibility. J Biol Chem 2021; 297:101391.

Abstract
Placental malaria infection is mediated by the binding of the malarial VAR2CSA protein to the placental glycosaminoglycan, chondroitin sulfate. Recombinant sub-fragments of VAR2CSA (rVAR2) have also been shown to bind specifically and with high affinity to cancer cells and tissues, suggesting the presence of a shared type of oncofetal chondroitin sulfate (ofCS) in the placenta and in tumors. However, the exact structure of ofCS and what determines the selective tropism of VAR2CSA remains poorly understood. In this study, ofCS was purified by affinity chromatography using rVAR2 and subjected to detailed structural analysis. We found high levels of N-acetylgalactosamine 4-O-sulfation (∼80-85%) in placenta- and tumor-derived ofCS. This level of 4-O-sulfation was also found in other tissues that do not support parasite sequestration, suggesting that VAR2CSA tropism is not exclusively determined by placenta- and tumor-specific sulfation. Here, we show that both placenta and tumors contain significantly more chondroitin sulfate moieties of higher molecular weight than other tissues. In line with this, CHPF and CHPF2, which encode proteins required for chondroitin polymerization, are significantly upregulated in most cancer types. CRISPR/Cas9 targeting of CHPF and CHPF2 in tumor cells reduced the average molecular weight of cell-surface chondroitin sulfate and resulted in a marked reduction of rVAR2 binding. Finally, utilizing a cell-based glycocalyx model, we showed that rVAR2 binding correlates with the length of the chondroitin sulfate chains in the cellular glycocalyx. These data demonstrate that the total amount and cellular accessibility of chondroitin sulfate chains impact rVAR2 binding and thus malaria infection.

Abstract
Heparins and sulfated polysaccharides have been recognized as effective clinical anticoagulants for several decades. Heparins exhibit heterogeneity depending on the sources. Meanwhile, the adverse effect in the clinical uses and the adulteration of oversulfated chondroitin sulfate (OSCS) in heparins develop additional attention to analyze the purity of heparins. This review starts with the description of the classification, anticoagulant mechanism, clinical application of heparins and focuses on the existing methods of heparin analysis and detection including traditional detection methods, as well as new methods using fluorescence or gold nanomaterials as probes. The in-depth understanding of these techniques for the analysis of heparins will lay a foundation for the further development of novel methods for the detection of heparins.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are heterogeneous, negatively charged, macromolecules that are found in animal tissues. Based on the form of component sugar, GAGs have been categorized into four different families: heparin/heparan sulfate, chondroitin/dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate, and hyaluronan. GAGs engage in biological pathway regulation through their interaction with protein ligands. Detailed structural information on GAG chains is required to further understanding of GAG-ligand interactions. However, polysaccharide sequencing has lagged behind protein and DNA sequencing due to the non-template-driven biosynthesis of glycans. In this review, we summarize recent progress in the analysis of GAG chains, specifically focusing on techniques related to mass spectroscopy (MS), including separation techniques coupled to MS, tandem MS, and bioinformatics software for MS spectrum interpretation. Progress in the use of other structural analysis tools, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and hyphenated techniques, is included to provide a comprehensive perspective.

Abstract
This review covers recent developments in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) analysis via mass spectrometry (MS). GAGs participate in a variety of biological functions, including cellular communication, wound healing, and anticoagulation, and are important targets for structural characterization. GAGs exhibit a diverse range of structural features due to the variety of O- and N-sulfation modifications and uronic acid C-5 epimerization that can occur, making their analysis a challenging target. Mass spectrometry approaches to the structure assignment of GAGs have been widely investigated, and new methodologies remain the subject of development. Advances in sample preparation, tandem MS techniques (MS/MS), online separations, and automated analysis software have advanced the field of GAG analysis. These recent developments have led to remarkable improvements in the precision and time efficiency for the structural characterization of GAGs.

Abstract
Heparan sulfate (HS) is a class of linear, sulfated, anionic polysaccharides, called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which present on the mammalian cell surfaces and extracellular matrix. HS GAGs display a wide range of critical biological functions, particularly in cell signaling. HS is composed of repeating units of 1 → 4 glucosidically linked uronic acid and glucosamine residues. Heparin, a pharmacologically important version of HS, having higher sulfation and a higher content of iduronic acid than HS, is a widely used clinical anticoagulant. However, due to their heterogeneity and complex structure, HS and heparin are very challenging to analyze, limiting biological studies and even resulting in safety concerns in their therapeutic application. Therefore, reliable methods of structural analysis of HS and heparin are critically needed. In addition to the structural analysis of heparin, its concentration in blood needs to be closely monitored to avoid complications such as thrombocytopenia or hemorrhage caused by heparin overdose. This review summarizes the progress in biotechnological approaches in the structural characterization of HS and heparin over the past decade and includes the development of the ultrasensitive approaches for detection and measurement in biological samples.

Abstract
Urinary glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) can reflect the health condition of a human being, and the GAGs composition can be directly related to various diseases. In order to effectively utilize such information, a detailed understanding of urinary GAGs in healthy individuals can provide insight into the levels and structures of human urinary GAGs. In this study, urinary GAGs were collected and purified from healthy males and females of adults and young adults. The total creatinine-normalized urinary GAG content, molecular weight distribution and disaccharide compositions were determined. Using capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE)-mass spectrometry (MS) and CZE-MS/MS relying on negative electron transfer dissociation, the major components of healthy human urinary GAGs were determined. The structures of 10 GAG oligosaccharides representing the majority of human urinary GAGs were determined.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are important biological molecules that are highly anionic and occur in nature as complex mixtures. A platform that combines capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) separations with mass spectrometry (MS) and gas-phase sequencing by using negative electron transfer dissociation (NETD) is shown to be efficacious for the structural analysis of GAG mixtures. CZE is a separation method well suited to the highly negatively charged nature of GAGs. NETD is an electron-based ion activation method that enables the generation of informative fragments with retention of the labile sulfate half-ester modification that determine specific GAG function. Here we combine for the first time NETD and CZE for assigning the structures of GAG oligomers present in mixtures. The speed of ion activation by NETD is found to couple well with the narrow peaks resulting from CZE migration. The platform was optimized with mixtures of GAG tetrasaccharide standards. The potential of the platform is demonstrated by the analysis of enoxaparin, a complex mixture of low molecular weight heparins, which was separated by CZE within 30 minutes and characterized by NETD MS/MS in one online experiment. 37 unique molecular compositions have been identified in enoxaparin using CZE-MS and 9 structures have been assigned with CZE-NETD-MS/MS.

Abstract
The efficient profiling of highly polar and charged metabolites in biological samples remains a huge analytical challenge in metabolomics. Over the last decade, new analytical techniques have been developed for the selective and sensitive analysis of polar ionogenic compounds in various matrices. Still, the analysis of such compounds, notably for acidic ionogenic metabolites, remains a challenging endeavor, even more when the available sample size becomes an issue for the total analytical workflow. In this paper, we give an overview of the possibilities of capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) for anionic metabolic profiling by focusing on main methodological developments. Attention is paid to the development of improved separation conditions and new interfacing designs in CE-MS for anionic metabolic profiling. A complete overview of all CE-MS-based methods developed for this purpose is provided in table format (Table 1) which includes information on sample type, separation conditions, mass analyzer and limits of detection (LODs). Selected applications are discussed to show the utility of CE-MS for anionic metabolic profiling, especially for small-volume biological samples. On the basis of the examination of the reported literature in this specific field, we conclude that there is still room for the design of a highly sensitive and reliable CE-MS method for anionic metabolic profiling. A rigorous validation and the availability of standard operating procedures would be highly favorable in order to make CE-MS an alternative, viable analytical technique for metabolomics.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a class of polysaccharides with potent biological activities. Due to their complex and heterogeneous composition, varied charge, polydispersity, and presence of isobaric stereoisomers, the analysis of GAG samples poses considerable challenges to current analytical techniques. In the present study, we combined solid-state nanopores-a single molecule sensor with a support vector machine (SVM)-a machine learning algorithm for the analysis of GAGs. Our results indicate that the nanopore/SVM technique could distinguish between monodisperse fragments of heparin and chondroitin sulfate with high accuracy (>90%), allowing as low as 0.8% (w/w) of chondroitin sulfate impurities in a heparin sample to be detected. In addition, the nanopore/SVM technique distinguished between unfractionated heparin (UFH) and enoxaparin (low molecular weight heparin) with an accuracy of ∼94% on average. With a reference sample for calibration, a nanopore could achieve nanomolar sensitivity and a 5-Log dynamic range. We were able to quantify heparin with reasonable accuracy using multiple nanopores. Our studies demonstrate the potential of the nanopore/SVM technique to quantify and identify GAGs.

Abstract
In situ capillary microsampling with capillary electrophoresis (CE) electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) enabled the characterization of cationic metabolites in single cells in complex tissues and organisms. For deeper coverage of the metabolome and metabolic networks, analytical approaches are needed that provide complementary detection for anionic metabolites, ideally using the same instrumentation. Described here is one such approach that enables sequential cationic and anionic (dual) analysis of metabolites in the same identified cell in a live vertebrate embryo. A calibrated volume was microaspirated from the animal-ventral cell in a live 8-cell embryo of Xenopus laevis, and cationic and anionic metabolites were one-pot microextracted from the aspirate, followed by CE-ESI-MS analysis of the same extract. A laboratory-built CE-ESI interface was reconfigured to enable dual cationic-anionic analysis with ∼5-10 nM (50-100 amol) lower limit of detection and a capability for quantification. To provide robust separation and efficient ion generation, the CE-ESI interface was enclosed in a nitrogen gas filled chamber, and the operational parameters were optimized for the cone-jet spraying regime in both the positive and negative ion mode. A total of ∼250 cationic and ∼200 anionic molecular features were detected from the cell between m/z 50-550, including 60 and 24 identified metabolites, respectively. With only 11 metabolites identified mutually, the duplexed approach yielded complementary information on metabolites produced in the cell, which in turn deepened network coverage for several metabolic pathways. With scalability to smaller cells and adaptability to other types of tissues and organisms, dual cationic-anionic detection with in situ microprobe CE-ESI-MS opens a door to better understand cell metabolism.

Abstract
Heparin, a high-molecular weight acidic polysaccharide, has raised much interest in the field of biomedical research due to its multiple bio-functions. The anticoagulant application of heparin in routine clinical practice, however, has been limited as the large molecular size of heparin can reduce its subcutaneous bioavailability and lead to severe adverse consequences such as thrombocytopenia. Here, we report a highly efficient and convenient method to depolymerize high-molecular weight, unfractionated heparin (UFH), into low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) by combining physical ultrasonic treatment with the chemical Fenton reaction, referred to as sono-Fenton. We found that this combination treatment synergistically degraded UFH into a LMWH of 4.87 kDa within 20 min. We characterized the mechanism of sono-Fenton heparin degradation through multiple approaches, including HPLC-SAX, disaccharide composition, FT-IR, NMR and top-down analysis, and found that the uronic acid residue in heparin was the most susceptible site attacked by OH radicals produced in the sono-Fenton process. Importantly, the LMWH prepared by this method had significantly higher anticoagulant activity than UFH and other LMWHs. This approach represents an effective method to produce heparin with improved activity and should be potentially useful for heparin production in the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) offers fast and high-resolution separation of charged analytes from small injection volumes. Coupled to mass spectrometry (MS), it represents a powerful analytical technique providing (exact) mass information and enables molecular characterization based on fragmentation. Although hyphenation of CE and MS is not straightforward, much emphasis has been placed on enabling efficient ionization and user-friendly coupling. Though several interfaces are now commercially available, research on more efficient and robust interfacing with nano-electrospray ionization (ESI), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP) continues with considerable results. At the same time, CE-MS has been used in many fields, predominantly for the analysis of proteins, peptides and metabolites. This review belongs to a series of regularly published articles, summarizing 248 articles covering the time between June 2016 and May 2018. Latest developments on hyphenation of CE with MS as well as instrumental developments such as two-dimensional separation systems with MS detection are mentioned. Furthermore, applications of various CE-modes including capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE), nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE), capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) and capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF) coupled to MS in biological, pharmaceutical and environmental research are summarized.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis has emerged as a powerful approach for carbohydrate analyses since 2014. The method provides high resolution capable of separating carbohydrates by charge-to-size ratio. Principle applications are heavily focused on N-glycans, which are highly relevant to biological therapeutics and biomarker research. Advances in techniques used for N-glycan structural identification include migration time indexing and exoglycosidase and lectin profiling, as well as mass spectrometry. Capillary electrophoresis methods have been developed that are capable of separating glycans with the same monosaccharide sequence but different positional isomers, as well as determining whether monosaccharides composing a glycan are alpha or beta linked. Significant applications of capillary electrophoresis to the analyses of N-glycans in biomarker discovery and biological therapeutics are emphasized with a brief discussion included on carbohydrate analyses of glycosaminoglycans and mono-, di-, and oligosaccharides relevant to food and plant products. Innovative, emerging techniques in the field are highlighted and the future direction of the technology is projected based on the significant contributions of capillary electrophoresis to glycoscience from 2014 to the present as discussed in this review.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans are biopolymers present in mammalian cells or in the extracellular matrix. To address their structure, the nature of the hexuronic acids and the position of sulfate groups must be determined. Tandem mass spectrometry using collision induced dissociation or electron-based fragmentation techniques, is a well-established approach for the identification of glycans but suffers from the frequent lack of diagnostic fragments in the case of glycosaminoglycans. This review presents alternative fragmentation techniques, namely photofragmentation in the IR and the UV ranges. Alternative approaches based on the direct analysis of the molecular structure, including ion mobility spectrometry and ion spectroscopies are reviewed. The potential of future multidimensional workflows for glycosaminoglycanomics is discussed.

Abstract
RATIONALE N-linked glycan analysis of recombinant therapeutic proteins, such as monoclonal antibodies, Fc-fusion proteins, and antibody-drug conjugates, provides valuable information regarding protein therapeutics glycosylation profile. Both qualitative identification and quantitative analysis of N-linked glycans on recombinant therapeutic proteins are critical analytical tasks in the biopharma industry during the development of a biotherapeutic. METHODS Currently, such analyses are mainly carried out using capillary electrophoresis/laser-induced fluorescence (CE/LIF), liquid chromatography/fluorescence (LC/FLR), and liquid chromatography/fluorescence/mass spectrometry (LC/FLR/MS) technologies. N-linked glycans are first released from glycoproteins by enzymatic digestion, then labeled with fluorescence dyes for subsequent CE or LC separation, and LIF or MS detection. Here we present an on-line CE/LIF/MS N-glycan analysis workflow that incorporates the fluorescent Teal™ dye and an electrokinetic pump-based nanospray sheath liquid capillary electrophoresis/mass spectrometry (CE/MS) ion source. RESULTS Electrophoresis running buffer systems using ammonium acetate and ammonium hydroxide were developed for the negative ion mode CE/MS analysis of fluorescence-labeled N-linked glycans. Results show that on-line CE/LIF/MS analysis can be readily achieved using this versatile CE/MS ion source on common CE/MS instrument platforms. CONCLUSIONS This on-line CE/LIF/MS method using Teal™ fluorescent dye and electrokinetic pump-based nanospray sheath liquid CE/MS coupling technology holds promise for on-line quantitation and identification of N-linked glycans on recombinant therapeutic proteins.

Abstract
Reverse polarity capillary zone electrophoresis coupled to negative ion mode mass spectrometry (CZE-MS) is shown to be an effective and sensitive tool for the analysis of glycosaminoglycan mixtures. Covalent modification of the inner wall of the separation capillary with neutral or cationic reagents produces a stable and durable surface that provides reproducible separations. By combining CZE-MS with a cation-coated capillary and a sheath flow interface, a rapid and reliable method has been developed for the analysis of sulfated oligosaccharides from dp4 to dp12. Several different mixtures have been separated and detected by mass spectrometry. The mixtures were selected to test the capability of this approach to resolve subtle differences in structure, such as sulfation position and epimeric variation of the uronic acid. The system was applied to a complex mixture of heparin/heparan sulfate oligosaccharides varying in chain length from dp3 to dp12 and more than 80 molecular compositions were identified by accurate mass measurement.

Capillary electrophoresis coupled to negative mode electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry using an electrokinetically-pumped nanospray interface with primary amines grafted to the interior of a glass emitter. Talanta 2017; 165:522-525. [PMID: 28153293 PMCID: PMC5651131 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2017.01.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2016] [Revised: 01/02/2017] [Accepted: 01/03/2017] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
We demonstrate an electrokinetically pumped sheath flow nanospray interface for capillary electrophoresis coupled to negative mode electrospray mass spectrometry. In this interface, application of an electric field generates electro-osmotic flow at the interior of a glass emitter that is pulled to a 10-20µm inner diameter orifice. Electro-osmotic flow pumps liquid around the distal tip of the separation capillary, ensheathing analyte into the electrospray electrolyte. In negative ion mode, negative potential applied to an untreated glass emitter drives sheath flow away from the emitter orifice, decreasing the stability and efficiency of the spray. In this manuscript, we treat a portion of the interior of the electrospray emitter with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, which grafts primary amines to the interior. The amines take on a positive charge, which reverses electro-osmosis and generates stable sheath flow to the emitter orifice under negative potential. Negative mode operation is demonstrated by analyzing a metabolite extract from stage 1 Xenopus laevis embryos. Production of the treated emitters was quite reproducible. We evaluated the performance of three emitters using a set of amino acids; the relative standard deviation in peak intensity was 7% for the most intense component.
