Abstract
Illegal addition of drugs is common but seriously threatens public health safety. Conventional mass spectrometry methods are difficult to realize direct analysis of drugs existing in some complex matrices such as seawater or soil due to the ion suppression effect and contamination to MS parts caused by nonvolatile salts. In this work, a novel crystallization and solvent evaporation ionization mass spectrometry (CSEI-MS) method was constructed and developed to achieve rapid desalting detection. CSEI only consists of a heated plate and a nebulizer and exhibits excellent desalting performance, enabling direct analysis of six drugs dissolved in eight kinds of salt solutions (up to 200 mmol/L) and three complex salty matrices. Under optimized conditions, CSEI-MS presents high sensitivity, accuracy, linearity, and intraday and interday precision. Finally, this method is applied to the quantitative analysis of drugs in seawater, hand cream, and soil. Furthermore, the highly sensitive detection of CSEI-MS is demonstrated to remain even if the detection processes are conducted within 5 s via common commercial tools.

Abstract
In mass spectrometry (MS), nonvolatile salts contaminate the transmission system and cause ion suppression, hampering MS analysis. When MS is combined with liquid chromatography (LC) that uses a salty mobile phase, the problems become more intractable due to long analysis time. Here, a novel heat-assisted dual neutral spray ionization (HADSI) method was developed, which projected sample solution spray and solvent spray onto a heated plate to achieve online desalting and high ionization. The experimental parameters of HADSI were optimized, which indicated that the plate temperature was crucial for ionization and desalination. Eight drug compounds dissolved in various commonly used buffers were directly analyzed using HADSI-MS, even though the concentration of PBS buffer reached 500 mmol/L. The established method showed considerable sensitivity in the positive ion mode with the limits of detection at the level of nmol/L, and good linearity (R2 > 0.99) was achieved for all the analyzed compounds. The repeatability and intra- and interday precisions of the method were evaluated, demonstrating the feasibility and reliability of the analysis of salty samples by HADSI-MS. Further, the method was demonstrated to tolerate the long-time analysis of high-salt LC eluates and the device was easy to maintain. Finally, a crude roxithromycin product was separated by LC and then analyzed by HADSI-MS, and seven unknown impurities and nine known impurities were successfully detected. Our results indicated that HADSI-MS may have potential applications in academic and industrial fields.

RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2021; 35:e9179.

Abstract
RATIONALE Direct and rapid mass spectrometry (MS) analysis is desired for many applications including environmental monitoring, forensic analysis, chemical and biological defense, and point-of-care testing. However, sample pretreatment is often necessary for analyzing targets from complex matrices using MS due to ion suppression. To achieve rapid MS analysis calls for simple and efficient solutions for sample processing and ionization. Here, a simple sample pretreatment and ionization workflow is reported, which achieves sample desalting, enrichment, and ionization on a single glass slide. METHODS Desalting is achieved based on crystallization and re-dissolution-induced spontaneous separation of analytes and salt. Efficient sample enrichment is achieved during the crystallization process by modifying the glass surface with an omniphobic coating. Finally, vibrating sharp-edge spray ionization is employed to ionize the target molecules directly on the glass slide. Thus, all the necessary sample operations prior to MS analysis are completed on the sample glass slide. RESULTS Efficient sample enrichment on the omniphobic glass slide is first visualized using food dyes. The benefits of the desalting and enrichment steps for detecting macrolide antibiotics in 1× phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solutions are demonstrated by comparing samples with different treatment procedures. Finally, quantification of macrolide antibiotics from PBS and serum samples is demonstrated. A linear range between 2 nM and 10 μM has been achieved for the serum sample with a limit of detection of 1 nM. CONCLUSIONS A simple, flexible, low-cost, and highly integrated workflow for detecting target molecules from complex matrices using MS is demonstrated. This method will be valuable to many applications that require rapid and efficient MS analysis of complex samples.

Abstract
A twin enrichment method based on offline dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) coupled with online field-amplified sample injection (FASI) was developed for the simultaneous determination of four sulfonamide (SA) antibiotics, including sulfamethazine (SMZ), sulfamerazine (SMR), sulfadizine (SDZ) and sulfacetamide (SFA), in different environmental waters, followed by capillary electrophoresis (CE). Various parameters that affected the separation performance of CE and the enrichment efficiencies of DLLME and FASI were optimized in detail, and excellent CE separation was attained within 6 min. The DLLME-FASI-CE offered high sensitivity enrichment factors of 206, 166, 185 and 150 for SMZ, SMR, SDZ and SFA, respectively. Highly sensitive detection was realized with low limits of detection (LODs), which ranged from 2.0-23.0, 2.2-26.0 and 4.3-63.0 ng mL-1 in tap water, lake water and seawater, respectively, as well as limits of quantification (LOQs) within 6.0-63.0, 7.4-96.0 and 14.0-201.0 ng mL-1, respectively. Satisfactory recoveries in the range of 91-108% were obtained with the three spiked environmental water samples, and the relative standard deviations were from 1.09-7.45%. The simple effective twin enrichment method provided promising perspective for CE determination of SAs in complicated aqueous matrices, with rapidity, sensitivity, and accuracy.

Abstract
The accurate determination of disulfide bonds for protein identification is in high demand. In this study, a simple electrochemical-mass spectrometry (EC-MS) method that possesses advantages of real-time information, simultaneous disulfide bond electroreduction and tagging was developed. In this EC-MS, an ITO glass corner functions as a counter electrode and spray system, and allows the direct sampling of the droplet-scale reacting solution in real-time. The application of this method was successfully demonstrated by electrochemical reduction of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) with one disulfide bond as well as insulin with multiple disulfide bonds. The preferred electroreduction of intermolecular-bonded disulfides for insulin has been observed and the intramolecular bond was not favored. Moreover, simultaneously tagging the formed thiol residues from electroreduction of GSSG using electrogenerated intermediates such as dopamine orthoquinone (DQ) and benzoquinone (Q) was performed. A proof-of-concept was also demonstrated with a large molecule, β-lactoglobulin A. The relationship between signal strength and operating parameters was also studied. This method successfully detected the reduction reaction of the disulfide bond in the polypeptide and protein. The detection limit (S/N ≥ 3) is 0.398 μg mL-1. These results suggest that this EC-MS platform can count cysteine moieties in proteins using a single drop of sample and in real-time and is promising for protein identification experiments.

Abstract
The deployment of mini mass spectrometers on the field strongly demands efficient ionization sources that are easy-to-operate. Nano-electrospray (nESI) ion source has been widely used in the field of chemistry, biology, medicine, pharmaceutical industry, clinical assessment and forensic science. In this study, a high ohmic resistor hyphenated gel loading tip nESI source was coupled with our home developed mini mass spectrometer. This ionization source has the advantages of simple-in-design, disposable and low-in-cost, therefore it could be frequently used for analysis of aqueous samples without leading to cross contamination. Performances of the gel loading tip nESI emitter were similar to pulled glass capillary, and highly compatible for the analysis of biomolecule in aqueous solution. Different peptide and small molecules have been confirmed with a continuous atmospheric pressure-interfaced (CAPI) mini mass spectrometer. The corona discharge, which was usually observed at nESI emitter tip under high aqueous solvent conditions, resulting in low ion intensity, has been successfully quenched using a 10 GΩ resistor in both a pulled glass capillary and a gel loading tip as nESI emitter in this study. Compared with conventional ESI, the metal wire assisted gel loading tip facilitated loading and direct analysis of biological samples without sample pretreatment.
