How to imagine “trace” concentration? Comparison with Gulliver in Brobdingnagu lags behind… Imagine the amount of phytohormone as an abscissa of 10 cm in length: 10 cm Then, what would be the length of the rest of the plant sample? Diameter of the Earth ! Aims of trace analysis: - To reduce the diameter of the Earth to a couple of mm - To measure the length corresponding to amount of auxin

Mass Spectrometry – Triple Quadrupole • Nabitý ion je selektován prvním kvadrupólem. • V druhém kvadrupólu (v kolizní cele) je ion bombardován atomy argonu. Vzniká směs menších iontů. • Třetím kvadrupólem je selektován ion typický pro analyt.
Requirements - Deep understanding of phytohormone nature and chemistry - Experience and tradition - Patience and endurance (from 3 months to 3 years) - Good instrumentation (up to € 1,000,000) - Good people
Understandable characteristics of current phytohormone analysis 10 mg – amount corresponding to a quarter of peeled sunflower seed – is sufficient for analysis • Outlook: Quantification of IAA in a single root tip • Examples: • fmol per root tip • fmol per mm
