Abstract:
(Ultra)High resolving modern analytics have been confirmed as essential in the chemical/metabolic description and understanding on a molecular level of biological and environmental systems. Especially the data integration of orthogonal technologies such as direct injection (DI) ion cyclotron resonance Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS), which provides unrivalled compositional resolution, ultra-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS), which increases the scope of detectable metabolites and allows the separation between isomers and NMR spectroscopy which provides detailed structural compositions has been ideally followed for the chemical diversity description in organic geochemistry and metabolomics. Powerful statistical tools and relevant databases are used in combination to the analytical platforms (FT-ICR-MS, UHPLC-MS, NMR) in order to provide an unprecedented synoptic description of the chemical complexity.
Metabolomic, as the comprehensive study of metabolic reactions in biology is growing very rapidly and integrates the knowledge of earlier developed Omics-branches. ICR-FT/MS describes highly complex mixtures on the level of the elementary composition distribution and is shown in this presentation as a dedicated tool to understand the composition and processes on a molecular level in various study fields from food chemistry, biology, organic geochemistry towards interplanetary chemistry.
We present here the analytical pipeline of DI-FT-ICR-MS for the profiling of any complex organic mixture with a focus on the possibilities in resolution and dynamic range and limits of the approach that is expended into many other metabolomics and data driven systems biology in health and environment.
