3 Hyphenated techniques Most mass spectrometers are operated with liquid chromatography (LC) or gas chromatography (GC) to obtain better resolution of true compounds. High resolving power of mass spectrometers can not distinguish between isomers, hence chromatography is needed to separate the isomers or stereoisomers. Time [min] Normalized Intensity m/z Normalized Intensity Chromatogram (GC-MS) Mass spectrum (EI) Peak selector

4 Bad history: manual peak detection Historically people would manually go to the highest peaks in a chromatogram and investigate those few peaks (library search and structure elucidation). Example with around 20 eye detectable peaks and loss of small but pure peaks. Time [min] m/z Normalized Intensity Normalized Intensity Chromatogram (GC-MS) Mass spectrum (EI)

5 Problems with manual peak picking or by-eye selection: What if substance is very low abundant (hidden in the noise)? What if substance is very active or toxic but low abundant/low concentration? Why would you discard compounds which have a high peak purity or signal/noise ratio (S/N)? Solution: + automatic peak detection + automatic peak picking + extraction of clean peak (deconvolution) + automated mass spectral database search + automated interpretation of mass spectrum Example: Manually around 20 peaks Automatic peak detection 77 peaks Automatic peak detection with Mass Frontier Example with MassFrontier

6 Peak picking and mass spectral deconvolution Time [min] (A)Automation can detect peaks under baseline (B)Automation can detect and clean overlapping (non-resolved) peaks m/z Case (A) Case (B) Baseline Extracted mass spectrum with red triangle above Example with MassFrontier

7 General algorithm from AMDIS AMDIS analyses steps: 1. noise analysis, 2. component perception, 3. spectrum deconvolution, 4. compound identification. First AMDIS analyzes the background and calculates a noise level for later processing. After that, it analyzes the data for an increase of a special ion trace. If there is maxima also for other traces at the same time, is assumes there is a peak and shapes a model peak. In the next step it calculates a "clean" spectra for each peak. And at last it identifies the compound via a library search. Source: Download free AMDIS and manuals and example dataAMDIS

8 Following ion traces Ion Traces: prominent peaks (unique or very high peaks) can be used to investigate peaks Total Ion Current (TIC) shows the sum of all mass spectral intensities (including noise) Example: m/z=194 and m/z=257

9 The noise Noise can come from different sources, GC column material or dirt or sticky material (matrix) Noise will be removed by the automated process. Its hard to do that manually. Example: Noise traces from m/z=355 (siloxanes or column bleed) and m/z=147

10 Deconvolution errors Problem: multiple peak pickings and deconvolution errors 5 peaks detected but should be one peak Solution: apply sensitivity or signal noise filter (S/N) False: Too many components detected Correct: single component detected

11 Peak extraction and transfer to library search Cleaned deconvoluted noise free peak is now transferred to NIST DB for library search Clean extracted spectra are coded in different color.

12 Further investigation of mass spectrum with mass spectral interpreter Example: peaks all delta 14 = CH2 – can lead to alkanes

13 Small specialized target libraries 1) NISTEPA: 1086 compounds in the EPA's "list of lists". 2) NISTDRUG: 739 compounds in the Canadian AAFS Toxicology Section MS Database Committee and the Association of Official Racing Chemists libraries 3) NISTFF: 991 compounds in the Philip Morris flavor and fragrance collection 4) NISTTOX: 1213 compounds represented in Finnigan Corporation's Toxicological library. 5) NISTFDA: 415 compounds in an FDA collection of mass spectra 6) NISTCW: 62 compounds relevant to detection of chemical weapons Concept : Will only annotate compounds of interest (T) Will discard all other compounds.

14 Importance of fast scanning mass spectral detectors In order to deconvolute (separate/clean) overlapping peaks, enough mass spectra have to be acquired to perform the mathematical calculations. With only one spectrum per second this is impossible. That requires: a) fast scanning detectors like time-of-flight (TOF) b) fast data acquisition hardware/software (DAC/ADC) The LECO TOF can acquire up to 500 mass spectra per second. For GC-MS 20 spectra/second sufficient for comprehensive GC (GCxGC) up to 200 spectra/sec needed Source: LECO ChromaTOF HelpfileLECO ChromaTOF

15 Comprehensive GCxGC-TOF-MS GCxGC means orthogonal two dimensional GC (not just two columns connected) Peaks are transferred via modulator oven/freezer from one column to another Better peak capacity, better signal noise, more peaks, more unknown compounds.

17 The Last Page - What is important to remember: GC-MS is used for molecules with less than 500 Da mass In order to pass the gas chromatographic column compounds must be volatile enough Automated peak picking and deconvolution is needed for GC-MS 10 to 20 spectra per second scan rate are needed for very narrow GC peaks  Good mass spectral deconvolution (good statistics, separation of overlaps) Use of AMDIS target libraries good concept for complex samples
