American Journal of Microbiological Research, Separation Methods TechnologiesCompared to traditional collision induced dissociation methods, electron capture dissociation (ECD) provides more comprehensive characterization of large peptides and proteins as well as preserves labile post-translational modifications. However, ECD experiments are generally restricted to the high magnetic fields of FTICR-MS that enable the reaction of large polycations and electrons. Here, we demonstrate the use of an electromagnetostatic ECD cell to perform ECD and hybrid ECD methods utilizing 193 nm photons (ECuvPD) or collisional activation (EChcD) in a benchtop quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer…and were packed in-house with 3 µm 300 AÌŠ C2 [BMEB2-5-300] reversed phase resin (Separation Methods Technologies, INC., Newark, DE). mAb IdeS digest (0.1 μg) was loaded onto the trap column and washed for 10 min at 5 µL/min with 1% mobile phase B…READ MORE HERE

American Journal of Microbiological Research, Separation Methods TechnologiesDisease incidence and prevalence is increasing in developing countries leading to high mortality and morbidity rates. Since most of the developing countries rely on traditional plant based medicine, there is huge demand for identifying the bioactive compounds from plant origin with medicinal properties owing to their safety, availability and reduced side effects. This project focuses on extraction of two different phytochemicals from Eucalyptus Spp and Withania Somnifera…HPLC analysis was carried out on a LC-20AT system (Shimadzu, Japan) using a reverse-phase C18 column [OD-5-100/25] (4.6 mm x 250 mm; Separation Methods Technologies)…READ MORE HERE
