  7. MS Analysis GC-MS and LC-MS ionization are very different GC – Producing ions from gas phase analytes Producing gas phase compounds from charged analytes LC – Necessary for certain important analytes: • Biological molecules: • Proteins • Amino acids/nucleic acids • sugars • Strong acids without the ability to absorption UV-vis

  8. Problem solved… Electrospray Ionization (ESI) John Fenn

  9. LC Ionization Chamber Capillary Gas Heater MS Nebulized Spray Sample Cone Electrospray Ionization(ESI) ESI Key Features: - Capillary (LC) 90o to Cone (MS) - Atmospheric pressure ion source - Nebulized flow through capillary - Heat applied to evaporate solvent - Voltage difference applied between capillary and cone + - Detect (+) ions  Cap (+), Cone (-) - Detect (-) ions  Cap (-), Cone (+) - 10-6 torr What happens in the droplet? 760 torr

  10. Electrospray Ionization(ESI) + + + Interested in Positive Ions - Apply (+) Voltage to capillary - (+) ions repelled from capillary - (-) ions attracted to capillary - Results in droplets enriched in (+) ions + + + P. Kebarle, J. Mass Spectrom. 2000, 35, 804–817.

  11. Electrospray Ionization(ESI) Summary • Ions are formed in condensed phase • In mobile phase droplets • Ions move into the gas phase by two mechanisms: • Partition into gas phase due to columbic repulsion in droplet • Solvent in droplet evaporates leaving ion behind Works well for compounds that can be charged in the condensed phase Strong or weak Acids and Bases

  12. LC Ionization Chamber Capillary Gas Heater Nebulized Spray Sample Cone Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization(APCI) APCI Key Features: - Capillary (LC) 90o to Cone (MS) - Atmospheric pressure ion source - Nebulized flow through capillary - Heat applied to evaporate solvent - No voltage applied to capillary - droplets are not charged - Voltage still applied to cone - Detect (-) ions  Cone (+) - Detect (+) ions Cone (-) MS - - Heat evaporates solvent, analytes partition into the gas-phase uncharged 10-6 torr Corona discharge needle 760 torr - Need to make ions!

  13. Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization(APCI) Summary • First step is solvent evaporation • Compounds in gas-phase as neutrals • Ions produced in the gas-phase • Corona discharge ionizes carrier gas and mobile phase • Acid/base reactions in the gas phase with mobile phase Works well for compounds that are protic but neutral at a pH between 2 and 9 Weak Acids / Bases

  14. LC Ionization Chamber Capillary Gas Heater Nebulized Spray Sample Cone Atmospheric Pressure Photoionization(APPI) APPI Key Features (same as APCI): - Capillary (LC) 90o to Cone (MS) - Atmospheric pressure ion source - Nebulized flow through capillary - Heat applied to evaporate solvent - No voltage applied to capillary - droplets are not charged - Voltage still applied to cone - Detect (-) ions  Cone (+) - Detect (+) ions Cone (-) MS UV lamp - - Heat evaporates solvent, analytes partition into the gas-phase uncharged 10-6 torr 760 torr - Need to make ions!

  15. Atmospheric Pressure Photoionization(APPI) Summary • First step is solvent evaporation • Compounds in gas-phase as neutrals • Ions produced in the gas-phase • UV lamp ionizes compound by photon absorption or • Charge exchange with dopant or • Dopant ionizes mobile phase, followed by; • Acid/base reactions in the gas phase with mobile phase Works well for compounds that are absorb UV radiation or are protic but neutral at a pH between 2 and 9 Weak Acids / Bases Nonpolar compounds that are UV active

  17. + - + Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI) MS MALDI Key Features: Vacuum - Analyte deposited on surface with excess matrix compound - Shine laser on the surface - hn aborbed by matrix molecules - Matrix molecules transfer energy to analyte molecules - Results in desorption/ionization of both matrix and analyte Laser beam Analyte molecule Matrix molecule Adapted from Dass, C. Fundamentals of Contemporary Mass Spectrometry, Wiley-Interscience, 2007.

  18. Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI) Common dopants: Analytes of interest: • Proteins • Polymers • High MW, ionization not possible using ESI, APCI, APPI • High MW separates these compounds from the background signal of the matrix
