In this study, novel C8-functionalized magnetic polymer microspheres were prepared by coating single submicron-sized magnetite particle with silica and subsequent modification with chloro (dimethyl) octylsilane. The resulting C8-functionalized magnetic silica (C8-f-M-S) microspheres exhibit well-defined magnetite-core-silica-shell structure and possess high content of magnetite, which endow them with high dispersibility and strong magnetic response. With their magnetic property, the synthesized C8-f-M-S microspheres provide a convenient and efficient way for enrichment of low-abundance peptides from tryptic protein digest and human serum. The enriched peptides/proteins were subjected for MALDI-TOF MS analysis and the enrichment efficiency was documented. In a word, the facile synthesis and efficient enrichment process of the novel C8-f-M-S microspheres make them promising candidates for isolation of peptides even in complex biological samples such as serum, plasma, and urine.

A limited amount and extreme concentration variability of proteomic-related samples require efficient analyte preconcentration and purification prior to the mass spectrometry (MS)-based analysis. Preferably, these steps should be coupled online with chosen fractionation and detection techniques for the minimization of the sample loss. To realize such sample pretreatment, herein, an on-chip solid-phase extraction-gradient elution-tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-GEMS/MS) is introduced.

Octyl-functionalized hybrid magnetic mesoporous (Fe(3)O(4)·nSiO(2)·meso-hybrid-C8) microspheres were synthesized and applied in the isolation and pre-concentration of low-concentration peptides prior to direct analysis by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Such microspheres possess high surface area (324 m(2)/g), hydrophobic group (C8), relatively large pore volume (0.304 cm(3)/g), uniform pore diameter (~3.

The advantage of using proteins and peptides as biomarkers is that they can be found readily in blood, urine, and other biological fluids. Such sample types are easily obtained and represent a potentially rich palette of biologically informative molecules. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) represents a key tool for rapidly interrogating such sample types.
