LC-MS?
LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY
•Separates
components
•Identification from
retention time is
difficult
MASS SPECTROMETRY
• Component
identification is
superior
•But, interference
from other ions

HISTORY
• 1906 : Mikhail Tsvet invented chromatography
• 1930 : Edgar Lederer, Chromatographic
separation of carotenoids
• 1960s : Csaba Horvath, developed the first HPLC
• 1990s: Engineering developments in HPLC
• 2004: UPLC and monolithic columns

Press: USA, 1981; p. 21-49

Mass Spectrometry
• 1897- Sir “J.J.” Thomson, charge/mass of electron
• 1919- Francis W. Aston with Thomson developed a “mass
spectrometer” to separate isotopes of elements
• 1970s- Interfacing LC with MS
• 1977-1980- Moving Belt Interface & Direct Liquid Interface
• 1989- Electro Spray Ionization, John B. Fenn

Geng, F. et al. Biomed. Chromatogr. 2010, 24, 312-317.
31
DETECTING ACE ACTIVITY
• ACE activity is usually determined by formation of a
product from a substrate.
ACE
Hippuryl-Histidine-Leucine
Hippuric acid
• Hippuric acid formed indicates ACE activity.
Geng, F. et al. Biomed. Chromatogr. 2010, 24, 312-317
32
METHOD
• Standard solutions of HA were analyzed by UPLC-MS and
peak area plotted against known concentration.
• Inhibitors were
added with HHL
and ACE.
•After incubation
HA was analyzed
by UPLC-MS and
compared with
standard
solutions.

CONTENTS OF SHEDEH
• Of religious importance in Ancient Egypt
• Blood of God Osiris, symbolizes rebirth of the dead
• Contents were unknown
• Very small samples
• LC-MS/MS in MRM mode: highly specific.

 Tartaric acid:
Wine marker
 Syringic acid:
Red wine

 So, wine it is!
 White or red ?

RESULTS
• Shedeh is indeed red wine.
• Successful detection of syringic and tartaric
acid in trace amounts.
• MRM mode is a confirmation in itself.

Summary
• LC-MS applications are wide
• Over the years, MS has been replaced by
MS/MS and even MSn ; LC by UPLC .
• The technique offers a lot of flexibility and
adaptability.
• Each engineering aspect plays an
important role.
