    摘要: A separation time of an isomer of one or more isomers of a sialylated glycopeptide of a sample is calculated from a peak of a precursor XIC. Product ion intensities of the first group are summed at the separation time producing a first sum and product ion intensities of the second group are summed at the separation time producing a second sum using XICs of the first and second groups. A ratio of the first sum to the second sum is calculated. The ratio at the separation time is compared to predetermined ratio ranges that each corresponds to a combination of a selection from a set of the first linkage and the second linkage taken one or more times. One or more linkages of the sialic acid to the glycan of the isomer are identified from a combination found to match the ratio in the comparison.

    摘要: The eluent used in IC separation contains non-volatile salt which is not compatible with electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). A suppressor is required to convert the non-volatile salt into water or the volatile acid form (i.e. acetic acid). When the suppressor fails, the non-volatile salts will enter the MS and cause extensive shutdown and maintenance of the mass spectrometer. The suppressor voltage derivative is used to evaluate the most common suppressor failure modes, including disruption of regenerant flow and excessive backpressure on the suppressor due to clogging in the downstream, and to trigger the eluent pump to stop the eluent flow or to trigger the auxiliary valve to switch the flow to the mass spectrometer from eluent to water.

    摘要: An ion source and ion recycle module includes an electrolyte reservoir, an eluent recovery chamber, and an ion exchange connector. The electrolyte reservoir includes a chamber containing an aqueous electrolyte solution including an electrolyte having a chamber inlet and a chamber outlet, and a first electrode. The chamber inlet is fluidically connected to a source chamber of an electrolytic eluent generator and configured to receive depleted electrolyte solution from the source chamber of the electrolytic eluent generator. The chamber outlet is fluidically connected to the source chamber of the electrolytic eluent generator and configured to provide recycled electrolyte solution to the electrolytic eluent generator source chamber. The eluent recovery chamber including a second electrode and configured to receive an eluent solution including eluent counter ions from the eluent generator; and the ion exchange connector including an ion exchange membrane stack.

    摘要: Systems and methods for concentrating an analyte preparatory to analysis thereof include processing the effluent of an analyte concentrator to produce an eluent for eluting an analyte retained in the same or separate concentrator, and systems implementing the same. The analyte concentrator system connects the effluent outlet of an analyte concentrator column to an eluent generation module such that the substantially analyte-free effluent discharged from the analyte concentrator column passes fluidly into the eluent generation module. Eluent generated from the substantially analyte-free effluent in the eluent generation module is likewise substantially free of the analyte. The systems and methods can minimize and/or (substantially) eliminate background signal during analysis of the concentrated analyte.

    摘要: First and second electrode liquid seal members are arranged between a first electrode and a second electrode. First and second ion exchange membranes are arranged between a first electrode liquid seal member and a second electrode liquid seal member. An eluent seal member is arranged between a first ion exchange membrane and a second ion exchange membrane. Ion exchange is performed between an eluent that passes through an eluent flow path of the eluent seal member from a separation column and an electrode liquid that passes through each of electrode liquid flow paths of the first and second electrode liquid seal members. In a first surface of the eluent seal member that comes into contact with the first ion exchange membrane, a first projection that surrounds the entire circumference of the eluent flow path to extend along the edge of the eluent flow path and projects toward the first ion exchange membrane is formed.

    摘要: A permeative amine/acid introduction device (PAID) is placed after a conventional KOH eluent suppressed conductometric anion chromatography (SCAC) system. The PAID converts the suppressed eluites from the acid form to the corresponding salt. For example, when the analytes are acids, they are converted to the corresponding ammonium salt (NR2H+HX→NR2H2++X−) and allows very weak acids HX (pKa≥7.0) that cannot normally be detected by SCAC to be measured by a second conductivity detector following the PAID. Permeative reagent introduction is dilutionless, can be operated without pumps and provides good mixing with low band dispersion (as small as 30 μL). An exemplary amine is diethylamine (DEA), which was chosen as the amine source due to its low pKb value (pKb 3.0), high vapor pressure, and low toxicity and low odor.
