The work described herein spans two disparate topics: 1) the use of a high resolution and accurate mass analyzer to facilitate targeted proteomic methods, and 2) the development and applications of novel instrumentation for high resolution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. While disparate, a common theme of a high resolution and accurate mass analyzer, the Orbitrap, ties the work together into, broadly, a treatise on the benefits of high resolution and accurate mass measurements in mass spectrometric research. In Chapter 1, I present an introduction on the Orbitrap mass analyzer and motivate the need for high resolution and accurate mass measurements in mass spectrometry. I will discuss the theory of Orbitrap operation, as well as the practical factors that may enhance or limit its performance. In Chapter 2, I delve into the field of targeted proteomics with the introduction of the "parallel reaction monitoring" (PRM) analysis paradigm using a bench-top quadrupole-Orbitrap LC/MS. While targeted proteomics is usually the domain of low resolution but highly sensitive mass analyzers, I demonstrate the utility of high resolution with a direct comparison to the "gold-standard" triple-quadrupole MS-based selected reaction monitoring (SRM) approach. This PRM approach has already generated much interest in the proteomics community since its publication. In Chapters 3 through 5, I transition to GC/MS, another field dominated by low resolution and fast scanning mass analyzers. In Chapter 3, I detail the construction and characterization of a proof-of-principle instrument for high resolution GC/MS built using an electron transfer dissociation (ETD)-enabled quadrupole linear ion trap (QLT)-Orbitrap MS. While the performance of this instrument was hindered by its design, the benefits of the Orbitrap for unambiguous elemental composition assignment to small molecules were clear, and further development was deemed warranted. In Chapter 4, I detail that further development in the design and construction of a dedicated, applications-grade bench-top quadrupole-Orbitrap GC/MS. The application of this instrument to the non-targeted characterization of unknown metabolites is presented in Chapter 5. Additionally in Chapter 5, I introduce a new method for data-dependent acquisition termed "molecular-ion directed acquisition", which aims to maximize the information content from non-targeted tandem MS in metabolomic studies

Applications of Time-of-Flight and Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry in Environmental, Food, Doping, and Forensic Analysis deals with the use of high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) in the analysis of small organic molecules. Over the past few years, time-of-flight (ToF) and Orbitrap MS have both experienced tremendous growth in a great number of analytical sectors and are now well established in many laboratories where high requirements are placed on analytical performance. This book gives a head-to-head comparison of these two technologies that compete directly with each other. As users with hands-on experience in both techniques, the authors provide a balanced description of the strengths and weaknesses of both techniques. In the vast majority of cases, ToF-MS and Orbitrap-MS have been used for qualitative purposes, mainly identification of discrete molecular entities such as drug metabolites or transformation products of environmental contaminants. This paradigm is now changing as quantitative capabilities are increasingly being explored, as are non-target approaches for unbiased broad-scope screening. In view of the continuous innovation of high-resolution MS instrument manufacturers in designing and developing more powerful machines, technological advances in both hardware and software are considerable, with many novel applications. This book summarizes and analyzes these trends. The compilation of selected examples from diverse analytical fields will allow the readers to discover not only the potential of high-resolution MS in their sector, but also shows advances in other fields that rely on hi-res MS. Provides comprehensive coverage of applications of time-of-flight and orbitrap mass spectrometry in environmental, food, doping, and forensic analysis Explores a variety of specialized techniques, giving a balanced description of the strengths and weaknesses of each Presents a general overview of imaging techniques within analysis

Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that can be used for the structural characterization and quantification of a wide range of molecules. The technique is extensively used by chemists for the analysis of small and volatile organic compounds. Mass spectrometry has long been an important technique for the identification of materials ranging from pure compounds to complex mixtures. Mass spectrometry can be used to determine molecular weight of compounds or using different ionization conditions, can provide more structural details through the analysis of fragmentation patterns. This level of detail can be attained for pure compounds and some mixtures. Mass spectrometry can also be combined with separation techniques such as gas chromatography or liquid chromatography to allow more complex mixtures to be examined. These hyphenated techniques provide a range of options for the characterization of complex materials.
