Rapid Direct-infusion Analysis of Alkaloids in Tobacco Leaves Using Ultra-High Resolution FT-ICR-MS
Rapid Direct-infusion Analysis of Alkaloids in Tobacco Leaves Using Ultra-High Resolution FT-ICR-MS
4 Feb 2016This application note from Bruker Daltonics discusses the identification of alkaloids in order to affect the taste and quality of tobacco final products. The complexity of the tobacco matrix means that using conventional chromatography with mass spectrometry has been difficult so FT-ICR-MS has been used in this study.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

InterferometryInterferometry is an investigative technique used to analyze the pattern of interference created during the superposition of 2 or more waves. An interferometer is used to produce 2 or more overlapping waves. The interferometer is comprised of 2 or more telescopes, a detector and a correlator. The interferometer detector may utilize homodyne or heterodyne detection of the interference pattern.ChromatographyChromatography is a powerful technique used to separate and analyze components of mixtures based on their chemical properties. It is widely used in fields like biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and environmental analysis. By exploiting differences in the interaction of substances with a stationary phase and a mobile phase, chromatography enables precise purification and quantification of compounds. Whether you're working with complex biological samples or industrial chemicals, chromatography is essential for obtaining high-quality results.

This potential is identified when compounds interact with the target protein during screening and could therefore be carried forward in the drug development process.Compound Identification
