Talanta 2024; 271:125712. [PMID: 38309110 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125712] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is a frequently used microanalytical technique in elemental analysis of solid samples. In most instances the use of matrix-matched calibration standards is necessary for the accurate determination of elemental concentrations. However, the main drawback of this approach is the limited availability of certified reference materials. Here, we present a novel conceptual framework in LA-ICP-MS quantification without the use of matrix-matched calibration standards but instead employment of an ablation volume-normalization method (via measurement of post-ablation line scan volumes by optical profilometry) in combination with a matrix-adapted fluence (slightly above the ablation threshold). This method was validated by cross-matrix quantification of reference materials typically investigated by LA-ICP-MS, including geological and biological materials. This allows for more accurate and precise multi-element quantification, and enables quantification of previously unquantifiable elements/materials.

A Comprehensive Study to Identify Major Metabolites of an Amoxicillin-Sulbactam Hybrid Molecule in Rats and Its Metabolic Pathway Using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. Metabolites 2022; 12:662. [PMID: 35888786 PMCID: PMC9319383 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12070662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2022] [Revised: 07/10/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Amoxicillin and sulbactam are widely used compound drugs in animal food. The amoxicillin-sulbactam hybrid molecule can achieve better curative effects through the combination of the two drugs. However, its pharmacokinetic behavior needs to be explored. In this study, a randomized crossover experiment was performed to investigate the metabolism of the novel amoxicillin-sulbactam hybrid molecule in rats after gastric administration. Ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) was used to isolate and to identify the metabolites in rats. Amoxicillin, amoxicilloic acid, amoxicillin diketopiperazine, and sulbactam were eventually detected in the plasma, liver, urine, and kidneys; no hybrid molecules and their metabolites were detected in feces. The in vivo metabolism results showed that the hybrid molecule was absorbed into the body in the intestine, producing amoxicillin and sulbactam, then amoxicillin was partially metabolized to amoxicilloic acid and amoxicillin diketopiperazine, which are eventually excreted in the urine by the kidneys. In this study, four major metabolites of the amoxicillin-sulbactam hybrid molecule were identified and their metabolic pathways were speculated, which provided scientific data for understanding the metabolism of the hybrid molecule and for its clinical rational use.

Abstract
This paper describes a version of the time-of-flight mass spectrometer based on a modified two-field acceleration approach of Wiley and McLaren. The aim of the device is a diagnostic of continuous plasma flow. The acceleration scheme idea, the construction of the spectrometer, and results of testing in plasma flow of Gd and CeO2 generated by vacuum arc discharge are described. The instrument function of the spectrometer was measured, and its mass resolution was evaluated as ∼20. With the use of the instrument function, how to interpret the registered signal in the case of intersection of mass peaks was suggested. The presented device has a simple construction and relatively low values of applied acceleration voltages, so it has fewer requirements in manufacturability and cost.

Abstract
Lead has been used for thousands of years in different anthropogenic activities thanks to its unique properties that allow for many applications such as the manufacturing of drinking water pipes and its use as additives to gasoline and paint. However, knowledge of the adverse impacts of lead on human health has led to its banning from several of its applications, with the main goal of reducing environmental pollution and protecting human health. Human exposure to lead has been linked to different sources of contamination, resulting in high blood lead levels (BLLs) and adverse health implications, primarily in exposed children. Here, we present a summary of a literature review on potential lead sources affecting blood levels and on the different approaches used to reduce human exposure. The findings show a combination of different research approaches, which include the use of inspectors to identify problematic areas in homes, collection and analysis of environmental samples, different lead detection methods (e.g. smart phone applications to identify the presence of lead and mass spectrometry techniques). Although not always the most effective way to predict BLLs in children, linear and non-linear regression models have been used to link BLLs and environmental lead. However, multiple regressions and complex modelling systems would be ideal, especially when seeking results in support of decision-making processes. Overall, lead remains a pollutant of concern and many children are still exposed to it through environmental and drinking water sources. To reduce exposure to lead through source apportionment methods, recent technological advances using high-precision lead stable isotope ratios measured on multi-collector induced coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS) instruments have created a new direction for identifying and then eliminating prevalent lead sources associated with high BLLs.

Abstract
Characterization of materials at the nanoscale plays a crucial role in in-depth understanding the nature and processes of the substances. Mass spectrometry (MS) has characterization capabilities for nanomaterials (NMs) and nanostructures by offering reliable multi-dimensional information consisting of accurate mass, isotopic, and molecular structural information. In the last decade, MS has emerged as a powerful nano-characterization technique. This review comprehensively summarizes the capabilities of MS in various aspects of nano-characterization that greatly enrich the toolbox of nano research. Compared with other characterization techniques, MS has unique capabilities for real-time monitoring and tracking reaction intermediates and by-products. Moreover, MS has shown application potential in some novel aspects, such as MS imaging of the biodistribution and fate of NMs in animals and humans, stable isotopic tracing of NMs, and risk assessment of NMs, which deserve update and integration into the current knowledge framework of nano-characterization.

Abstract
Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) is a solid sampling technique in continuous expansion in all types of research fields in which direct multi-elemental or isotopic analysis is required. In particular, this technique shows unique characteristics that made its use recommended in many archaeometric applications, where valuable solid artifacts are often the target samples, because it offers flexibility to achieve spatially resolved information with high detection power and a wide linear range, in a fast and straightforward way, and with minimal sample damage. The current review provides a systematic survey of publications that reported the use of LA-ICPMS in an archaeological context, highlights its main capabilities and limitations and discusses the most relevant parameters that influence the performance of this technique for this type of application.
