The temporal response of pulsed nano-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (nano-ESI-MS) was studied and its influence on ion formation and detection was characterized. Rise and decay times for the mass resolved ion current were determined to be 20 ± 3 msec and 61 ± 5 msec, respectively, which led to a maximum pulse rate of 12 Hz. Pulsed nano-ESI operation was demonstrated from a multi-sprayer source controlled by a high voltage pulsing circuit constructed in-house. The desired source mode of operation (e.g. pulsing or continuous) can be realized solely by controlling the voltage applied to each sprayer.

Article Synopsis
- * The current study examined the impact of adding 1% acetic acid and 10 mM ammonium acetate to water/acetonitrile solutions on the ionization of these compounds.
- * Results showed that while G and A were detected as major ions, B was greatly suppressed with acetic acid, but became a major ion when ammonium acetate was present, illustrating the influence of solvent composition on ion behavior.

MS SPIDOC is a novel sample delivery system designed for single (isolated) particle imaging at X-ray Free-Electron Lasers that is adaptable towards most large-scale facility beamlines. Biological samples can range from small proteins to MDa particles. Following nano-electrospray ionization, ionic samples can be m/z-filtered and structurally separated before being oriented at the interaction zone.

Infrared matrix-assisted desorption and ionization (IR-MALDI) enables the transfer of sub-micron particles (sMP) directly from suspensions into the gas phase and their characterization with differential mobility (DM) analysis. A nanosecond laser pulse at 2940 nm induces a phase explosion of the aqueous phase, dispersing the sample into nano- and microdroplets. The particles are ejected from the aqueous phase and become charged.

To initiate electrospray, it is necessary to accumulate excess charges on the liquid surface until the outward electrostatic pressure () overwhelms the inward pressure originating from the surface tension of the liquid droplet. In this report, electrospray mass spectrometry for solutions of gramicidin S (G), ubiquitin (U), and cytochrome c (C) in HO/CHOH (1/1) was performed as a function of the high voltage (4000 V) pulse width in the range of 200 ns to 1 ms using a 4 μm i.d.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known for their participation in various physiological and pathological processes in organisms, including ageing or degeneration. Kynurenine pathway metabolites, such as kynurenic (KYNA) or xanthurenic (XA) acid, can affect neurodegenerative diseases due to their ROS scavenging and Fe ion coordination complex formation but insights are still incomplete. Therefore, we investigated the formation and antioxidant capabilities of KYNA- and XA-Fe complexes by nano-electrospray-mass spectrometry, differential pulse voltammetry, deoxyribose degradation and Fe autoxidation assays.
