Untargeted analyses were performed using an Agilent 1290 infinity liquid chromatography (LC) system coupled to an Agilent 6545 quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MS) equipped with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source operating in both positive and negative ion modes. Chromatographic separation was evaluated on an Acquity UPLC HSS T3 column (Waters, Wexford, Ireland) (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.8 μm) with a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min at 50°C. The mobile phase used for ESI+ consisted of 0.1% aqueous formic acid (mobile phase A) and acetonitrile (mobile phase B). For ESI-, the mobile phase consisted of (mobile phase A) 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate aqueous solution and (mobile phase B) 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate water/acetonitrile (1:9) solution. A linear gradient elution was optimized as follows: 0–1 minute, 1% B; 1–3 minutes, 1%–15% B; 3–5 minutes, 15%–70% B; 5–9 minutes, 70%–85% B; 9–10 minutes, 85%–100% B; 100% B held for 2 minutes, and then back to the initial conditions with 3 minutes for equilibration. The injection volume was 1.5 μL. MS parameters were set as follows: drying gas temperature, 320°C; drying gas flow rate, 8 L/min; nebulizer gas, 35 psi; fragmental voltage, 120 V; and capillary voltage, 3500 V. A full scan from 50 to 1050 m/z was acquired for each sample under the high-resolution mode (extended dynamic range, 2 GHz).

For liquid chromatography and high-resolution accurate mass spectrometry, we coupled an Agilent Technologies 1290 Infinity II UHPLC system to an Agilent Technologies 6545 Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (i.e., QTOF-MS). Using the LC gradient profile described above, electrospray ionization (ESI) was achieved with an Agilent Jet Stream ion source. ESI was conducted in the negative ion mode (for measurement of [M – H]- ions) with capillary and nozzle voltages of 3.5 kV and 2 kV, respectively. Drying and nebulizing gases were set to 10 L/min and 25 lb/in2 (172 kPa), respectively, and a drying-gas temperature of 300 °C was used throughout. The Jet Stream ion source employed a heated nitrogen sheath gas (at 350 °C with a gas flow of 10 L/min) to improve droplet desolvation for signal enhancement. The fragmentor, skimmer, and OCT 1 RF Vpp voltages were set to 140 V, 50 V, and 300 V, respectively. The data acquisition range was from 100-2500 m/z, and the acquisition rate was 1 spectra/s. Data acquisition (Workstation B.08.00) and processing (Qualitative Analysis B.06.00) were performed via Agilent Technologies MassHunter software.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
