Title: Analysis of single cells with capillary electrophoresis electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. Author: Hofstadler SA, Severs JC, Smith RD, Swanek FD, Ewing AG. Journal: Rapid Commun Mass Spectrom; 1996; 10(8):919-22. PubMed ID: 8777325. Abstract: Recent results with on-line capillary electrophoresis (CE) electrospray ionization (ESI) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry suggest that CE/ESI-FTICR can provide a powerful technique for micro-sample analyses owing to the inherent sensitivity of the technique and the enhanced information content derived from high-performance mass measurements. Using micro-sampling methods and ion accumulation techniques based on quadrupolar excitation, we demonstrate that adequate sensitivity exists to characterize the hemoglobin from a single human erythrocyte (approximately 450 amol). In these studies mass spectra with average mass resolution in excess of 45 000 (FWHM) were obtained for both the alpha- and beta chain of hemoglobin following in-column lysing of a single erythrocyte.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
