The role of mass spectrometry (MS) has become more important in most application domains in recent years. Pharmaceutical analysis is specific due to its stringent regulation procedures, the need for good laboratory/manufacturing practices, and a large number of routine quality control analyses to be carried out. The role of MS is, therefore, very different throughout the whole drug development cycle.

This Tutorial is to provide a summary of parameters useful for successful outcomes of laserspray ionization (LSI) and related methods that employ a laser to ablate a matrix:analyte sample to produce highly charged ions. In these methods the purpose of the laser is to transfer matrix-analyte clusters into the gas phase. Ions are hypothesized to be produced by a thermal process where emitted matrix:analyte gas-phase particles/clusters are charged and loss of matrix from the charged particles leads to release of the analyte ions into the gas phase.

Starting in the 1960s, flow tube apparatuses have played a central role in the study of ion-molecule kinetics, allowing for immense chemical diversity of cationic, anionic, and neutral reactants. Here, we review studies of oxygen allotropes, excluding ground state O ( ), and focusing instead on reactions of cations, anions, and metal chemi-ionization reactions with ground state atomic oxygen (O P), vibrationally excited molecular oxygen (O (v)), electronically excited molecular oxygen (O ( )), and ozone (O ). Historical outlines of work over several decades are given along with a focus on more recent work by our group at the Air Force Research Laboratory.

Analysis of triacylglycerol (TG) and phospholipid sn-positional isomers can be divided into two main categories: (a) direct separation by chromatography or other means such as ion mobility mass spectrometry and (b) quantification of regioisomer ratios by structurally informative fragment ions with mass spectrometric methods. Due to long retention times and limited performance, researchers are moving away from direct chromatographic separation of isomers, using mass spectrometry instead. Many established analytical methods are targeting specific isomers of interest instead of untargeted analysis of comprehensive profiles of regioisomers.

Recent advances in instrumentation and development of computational strategies for ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) studies have contributed to an extensive growth in the application of this analytical technique to comprehensive structural description of supramolecular systems. Apart from the benefits of IM-MS for interrogation of intrinsic properties of noncovalent aggregates in the experimental gas-phase environment, its merits for the description of native structural aspects, under the premises of having maintained the noncovalent interactions innate upon the ionization process, have attracted even more attention and gained increasing interest in the scientific community. Thus, various types of supramolecular complexes and assemblies relevant for biological, medical, material, and environmental sciences have been characterized so far by IM-MS supported by computational chemistry.

The advent of soft ionization mass spectrometry-based proteomics in the 1990s led to the development of a new dimension in biology that conceptually allows for the integral analysis of whole proteomes. This transition from a reductionist to a global-integrative approach is conditioned to the capability of proteomic platforms to generate and analyze complete qualitative and quantitative proteomics data. Paradoxically, the underlying analytical technique, molecular mass spectrometry, is inherently nonquantitative.

Collision cross-section values, which can be determined using ion mobility experiments, are sensitive to the structures of protein ions and useful for applications to structural biology and biophysics. Protein ions with different charge states can exhibit very different collision cross-section values, but a comprehensive understanding of this relationship remains elusive. Here, we review cation-to-anion, proton-transfer reactions (CAPTR), a method for generating a series of charge-reduced protein cations by reacting quadrupole-selected cations with even-electron monoanions.

In food analysis, conventional one-dimensional liquid chromatography methods sometimes lack sufficient separation power due to the complexity and heterogeneity of the analyzed matrices. Therefore, the use of two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) turns out to be a powerful tool to consider, especially when coupled to mass spectrometry (MS). This review presents the most remarkable 2D-LC-MS food applications reported in the last 10 years, including a critical discussion of the multiple approaches, modulation strategies as well as the importance of the optimization of the different analytical aspects that will condition the 2D-LC-MS performance.

Exploring the chemical content of individual cells not only reveals underlying cell-to-cell chemical heterogeneity but is also a key component in understanding how cells combine to form emergent properties of cellular networks and tissues. Recent technological advances in many analytical techniques including mass spectrometry (MS) have improved instrumental limits of detection and laser/ion probe dimensions, allowing the analysis of micron and submicron sized areas. In the case of MS, these improvements combined with MS's broad analyte detection capabilities have enabled the rise of single-cell and single-organelle chemical characterization.
