Differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) is capable of separating molecules based on their size and shape. When coupled to mass spectrometry (MS), DMS reduces chemical background and enhances signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. Flow injection analysis (FIA) is a technique used to introduce samples into the source of the DMS-MS platform. Here we describe the application of FIA-DMS-MS/MS for the analysis of urinary acylcarnitine species. More than 20 acylcarnitine species can be detected and quantified during a single FIA-DMS-MS/MS acquisition.
差分离子迁移谱(DMS)能够根据分子的大小和形状对其进行分离。当与质谱(MS)联用时,DMS可降低化学背景并提高信噪比(S/N)。流动注射分析(FIA)是一种用于将样品引入DMS-MS平台源的技术。在此,我们描述了FIA-DMS-MS/MS在分析尿酰基肉碱种类中的应用。在单次FIA-DMS-MS/MS采集过程中可检测和定量20多种酰基肉碱种类。
