2. 1. Quantitative Bioanalysis : Liquid separations coupled to targeted mass spectrometric measurements of bioactive compounds

   Author : Björn Arvidsson; Jonas Bergquist; Magnus Wetterhall; Gérard Hopfgartner; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Analytical chemistry; Method development; Enhanced microdialysis; Column switching; Liquid chromatography; Capillary electrophoresis; Electrospray ionization; Mass spectrometry; Triple quadrupole; Time-of-flight; Quantitation; Validation; Analytisk kemi;

   Abstract : Performing quantitative analysis of targeted bioactive compounds in biological samples, such as blood plasma, cerebrospinal fluid or extracts from pig liver, put high demands on the ruggedness of the method acquiring the results. In addition to the complexity of the sample matrix, the bioactive compounds targeted for analysis usually have low levels of natural abundance, further increasing the demand on the analytical method sensitivity.

4. 2. Development and Application of Software Tools for Mass Spectrometry Imaging

   Author : Patrik Källback; Per E. Andrén; Per Svenningsson; Anna Nilsson; Benjamin Bowen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mass spectrometry imaging; MALDI; DESI; msIQuant; quantitation; neurotransmitters; drugs; derivatization; brain; compression; data entropy reduction;

   Abstract : Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has been extensively used to produce qualitative maps of distributions of proteins, peptides, lipids, neurotransmitters, small molecule pharmaceuticals and their metabolites directly in biological tissue sections. Moreover, during the last 10 years, there has been growing demand to quantify target compounds in tissue sections of various organs. READ MORE

5. 3. Quantitation of gluconeogenesis in humans

   Author : Karin Ekberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Gluconeogenesis; mass isotopomer distribution analysis; deuteratedwater; hexamethylenetetramine; splanchnic and renal glucose production;

   Abstract : Several methods have been introduced for estimating gluconeogenesis, but none provides a direct measurement without assumptions that condition the accuracy of the estimate. The aim of this work has been to develop a new method for quantitative studies of gluconeogenesis, applicable in humans. READ MORE

6. 4. Metabolic Studies with Liquid Separation Coupled to Mass Spectrometry

   Author : Erik Allard; Jonas Berguist; Per Sjöberg; Risto Kostiainen; Uppsala universitet; []

   Abstract : Metabolism is the sum of all chemical processes with the purpose to maintain life, as well as enable reproduction, in a living organism. Through the study of metabolism, increased understanding of pharmacological mechanisms and diseases can be achieved. READ MORE

7. 5. Solid-Phase Microextraction in Polymer Analysis - Extraction of Volatiles from Virgin and Recycled Polyamide 6.6

   Author : Mikael Gröning; Minna Hakkarainen; Stephen Kelley; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemistry; polymer; polyamide 6.6; volatiles; emissions; degradation; quantitation; Kemi; Chemistry; Kemi;

   Abstract : The extraction and quantitative analysis of low molar mass compounds in polymers is an analytical challenge. It is also important from a practical point of view because the low molar mass compounds in time will migrate from the polymers into the surrounding environment. READ MORE
