An atmospheric pressure (AP) infrared (IR) laser ionization technique, implemented on a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer, was used to analyze underivatized, N-linked oligosaccharides in solution. Experiments were conducted on an atmospheric pressure infrared ionization from solution (AP-IRIS) ion source which differed from previous AP IR matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) interfaces in that the ion source operated in the absence of an extraction electric field with a higher power 2.94 microm IR laser. The general term 'IRIS' is used as the mechanism of ionization differs from that of MALDI, and is yet to be fully elucidated. The AP-IRIS ion source demonstrated femtomole-level sensitivity for branched oligosaccharides. AP-IRIS showed approximately 16 times improved sensitivity for oligomannose-6 and the core-fucosylated glycan M3N2F over optimal results obtainable on a AP UV-MALDI with a 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone matrix. Comparison between IR and UV cases also showed less fragmentation in the IR spectrum for a glycan with a conserved trimannosyl core, core-substituted with fucose. A mixture of complex, high-mannose and sialylated glycans resulted in positive ion mass spectra with molecular ion peaks for each sugar. Tandem mass spectrometry of the sodiated molecular ions in a mixture of glycans revealed primarily glycosidic (B, Y) cleavages. The reported results show the practical utility of AP-IRIS while the ionization mechanism is still under investigation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007259 Infrared Rays That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum usually sensed as heat. Infrared wavelengths are longer than those of visible light, extending into the microwave frequencies. They are used therapeutically as heat, and also to warm food in restaurants. Heat Waves,Heat Wave,Infrared Ray,Ray, Infrared,Rays, Infrared,Wave, Heat,Waves, Heat
D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D019032 Spectrometry, Mass, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization A mass spectrometric technique that is used for the analysis of large biomolecules. Analyte molecules are embedded in an excess matrix of small organic molecules that show a high resonant absorption at the laser wavelength used. The matrix absorbs the laser energy, thus inducing a soft disintegration of the sample-matrix mixture into free (gas phase) matrix and analyte molecules and molecular ions. In general, only molecular ions of the analyte molecules are produced, and almost no fragmentation occurs. This makes the method well suited for molecular weight determinations and mixture analysis.

D021241 Spectrometry, Mass, Electrospray Ionization A mass spectrometry technique used for analysis of nonvolatile compounds such as proteins and macromolecules. The technique involves preparing electrically charged droplets from analyte molecules dissolved in solvent. The electrically charged droplets enter a vacuum chamber where the solvent is evaporated. Evaporation of solvent reduces the droplet size, thereby increasing the coulombic repulsion within the droplet. As the charged droplets get smaller, the excess charge within them causes them to disintegrate and release analyte molecules. The volatilized analyte molecules are then analyzed by mass spectrometry.
