| 20110297822 | METHODS AND INTERFACES FOR SINGLE AND MULTIDIMENSIONAL SEPARATIONS FOR CHARACTERIZATION AND/OR IDENTIFICATION OF MOLECULES BY MASS SPECTROMETRY - The present invention relates a use of the electrocapture-based separation technology combined with mass spectrometrical fragmentation methods, e.g. sequence of polypeptides by collision-induce dissociation mass spectrometry, for the identification and/or characterization molecules of interest. It also relates the combination of the electrocapture-base separation technology with other liquid separation methods, as e.g. liquid chromatography, in order to achieve multi-dimensional separations prior mass spectrometrical analysis. In addition, it relates physical interfaces between electrocapture-based separations and different types mass spectrometers for on-line or off-line analysis, as well as the coupling of electrocapture-based separations, liquid chromatography and different types of mass spectrometrometers. | 12-08-2011 |
