Maldi tof mass spectrometer

Manufactured by AB Sciex
Sourced in United States

The MALDI-TOF (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight) mass spectrometer is an analytical instrument used for the identification and characterization of molecules. It utilizes a laser to ionize and vaporize samples, and a time-of-flight analyzer to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of the ionized particles.

Unless otherwise stated, all reactions were performed under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen. UV-vis spectra were recorded on an Agilent 8453 UV-vis spectrometer equipped with an Agilent 89090A thermostat (±0.1 °C) at 25 °C. IR spectra were recorded on a Spectrum Spotlight 200 FT-IR microscope. Mass spectra were recorded on a Bruker APEX IV FT-ICR mass spectrometer (ESI) or AB Sciex MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer. Simulated mass spectra were obtained from the website http://www.chemcalc.org. NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker ARX400 400 MHz or AVANCE III 500 MHz NMR spectrophotometer. The HeLa cells were obtained from Peking University Health Science Center. For the optical measurements in liquid solution, spectroscopic-grade dimethyl sulfoxide was used as purchased from Alfa-Aesar. Anhydrous 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB), diisobutyl aluminium hydride (DIBAL-H), sarcosine, and polyformaldehyde were purchased from J&K Scientific and used as received. Anhydrous CH2Cl2 was distilled from calcium hydride and H2O was obtained from Milli-Q Integral.

The methanol extracts of the culture filtrates of the four antagonistic bacteria were analyzed using the 5800 matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometer (AB SCIEX, Redwood, CA, USA) operated in the positive reflectron mode; α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid was used as the matrix (prepared by dissolving 5 mg in 1 ml of 50:50 acetonitrile: water containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid) (Velho et al., 2011 (link)).

Agar Hydrolysis via Thin-Layer Chromatography

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was performed to identify hydrolysis products of AgaDL6 towards agar [25] . After incubating purified AgaDL6 with 1% agar at different times at optimum conditions, the hydrolysis reaction was stopped by heating in a boiling water bath for 10 min. The reaction mixture was spotted on silica gel 60 TLC plates (Merck, Germany). The plates were developed with n-butanol-acetic acid-water (2:1:1 by volume) solution. Spots were visualized by spraying with 20% H 2 SO 4 in methanol and heating at 120°C for 2 min. Neoagarobiose (NA2), neoagarotetraose (NA4), neoagarohexaose (NA6), neoagarooctaose (NA8) and neoagarodecaose (NA10) were used as standards. The molecular mass of the enzymatic products was determined using a matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometer (AB Sciex, USA). The matrix for all samples was 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) (10 mg/ml DHB in 30/70 acetonitrile/water with 0.1% TFA final concentration) and the ratio of the sample and matrix was 1:1. The measured data were analyzed and exported using Data Explorer Software 4.11 (AB Sciex).

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.
