A Lincomycin-Specific Antibody Was Developed Using Hapten Prediction, and an Immunoassay Was Established to Detect Lincomycin in Pork and Milk.

Prolonged consumption of animal-derived foods containing high levels of lincomycin (LIN) residues can adversely impact human health. Therefore, it is essential to develop specific antibodies and immunoassay methods for LIN. This study utilized computational chemistry to predict the efficacy of LIN haptens prior to chemical synthesis, with subsequent confirmation obtained through an immunization experiment.

Applications of mass spectrometry in cosmetic analysis: An overview.

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a crucial tool in cosmetic analysis. It is widely used for ingredient screening, quality control, risk monitoring, authenticity verification, and efficacy evaluation. However, due to the diversity of cosmetic products and the rapid development of MS-based analytical methods, the relevant literature needs a more systematic collation of information on this subject to unravel the true potential of MS in cosmetic analysis.

Online hyphenation of in-capillary aptamer-functionalized solid-phase microextraction and extraction nanoelectrospray ionization for miniature mass spectrometry analysis.

Direct mass spectrometry (MS) analysis is vital to chemical and biological investigations. However, measuring complex samples is challenging due to matrix interference, resulting in compromised MS performance. In this study, an integrated experimental protocol has been developed, combining in-capillary aptamer-functionalized solid-phase microextraction (SPME), extraction nanoelectrospray ionization (nanoESI), and miniature MS analysis.

Broad-spectrum portable magnetic relaxation switching immunosensor with gold-functionalized magnetic nanoprobes for the sensitive detection of multiple pyrethroids.

At present, the most available pyrethroid (PYR) detection methods still suffer from a narrow detection spectrum, low sensitivity, and less portability. Herein, a novel magnetic relaxation switching (MRS) sensor was elaboratively designed to detect multiple PYRs, combining a novel broad-spectrum antibody CL-CN/1D2 and synthesized immune gold-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles, with the inherent response of the sensor. A series of antibodies and the immune gold-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles were designed and synthesized.

Electromembrane Extraction and Dual-Channel Nanoelectrospray Ionization Coupled with a Miniature Mass Spectrometer: Incorporation of a Dicationic Ionic Liquid-Induced Charge Inversion Strategy.

Green analytical chemistry aims at developing analytical methods with minimum use and generation of hazardous substances for the protection of human health and the environment. To address this need, a green analytical protocol has been developed for the analysis of anionic compounds integrating electromembrane extraction (EME), dual-channel nanoelectrospray ionization (nanoESI), and a miniature mass spectrometer. Haloacetic acids (HAAs) have attracted considerable public concern due to their adverse effects on human health and were selected as model analytes for method development.

Suspect Screening of Fentanyl Analogs Using Matrix-Assisted Ionization and a Miniature Mass Spectrometer with a Custom Expandable Mass Spectral Library.

The reliable identification of fentanyl and its analogs is of great significance for public security. However, with the growing prevalence of fentanyl compounds, current analytical strategies cannot fully meet the need for fast and high-throughput detection. In this study, a simple, rapid, and on-site analytical protocol was developed based on a miniature mass spectrometer.

Chemical composition analysis of pomegranate seeds based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Pomegranate fruit has shown a variety of pharmacological effects, however, the bioactive constituents in pomegranate seeds have not been fully identified. To this end, the chemical compositions of pomegranate seeds were analyzed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with quadrupole-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (Q-Orbitrap HRMS). Prior to analysis, pomegranate seed samples were treated by ultrasonic/microwave-assisted extraction (UMAE).
