Statistical Approach for Biomarker Discovery Using Label-Free LC-MS Data: An Overview
2016
The identification of new diagnostic, prognostic, or theranostics biomarkers is one of the main aims of clinical research. Technologies like mass spectrometry (MS) focus on the discovery of proteins as biomarkers and are commonly being used for this purpose. Mass spectrometry consists in the separation by gas of charged molecules, based on their mass-over-charge. Liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) first involves a separation by liquid chromatography (LC) followed by mass spectrometry in the MS and MS/MS modes.

Pesticides (New Generation) and Related Compounds, Analysis of
2017
Miscellaneous pesticides and related compounds comprise substances that can neither be included in the classical chemical category of pesticides nor classified by their mode of action. They are a heterogeneous group of substances, the most representative of which are macrocyclic lactones, chloronicotinyls, tetranortriterpenoids, ammonium quaternary salts, dinitroanilines, acetamides, oximes, triazoles, and pyridine-based molecules. The pesticides covered in this article have hardly changed in the last years. However, their analytical determination has undergone significant improvements. This article provides a well-defined and critical compilation of the sample treatment and clean-up proced…
Comparison of microextraction procedures to determine pesticides in oranges by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
2002
A liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometric method has been developed for the determination of bitertanol, carbendazim, fenthion, flusilazole, hexythiazox, imidacloprid, methidathion, methiocarb, pyriproxyfen and trichlorfon. Two procedures, based on stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) and matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD), have been evaluated for the extraction of these compounds in oranges. Their respective advantages and disadvantages are also discussed. The recoveries obtained by MSPD ranged from 47 to 96% and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) ranged from 1 to 15%, whereas with the SBSE method the recoveries were between 8 and 84% and the RSDs between 4 and 16%. Although, the l…
Simultaneous determination of imidacloprid, carbendazim, methiocarb and hexythiazox in peaches and nectarines by liquid chromatography–mass spectrome…
2002
Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometric (MS) method is described for determining imidacloprid, carbendazim, methiocarb and hexythiazox in peaches and nectarines. The samples were extracted with ethyl acetate and anhydrous sodium sulfate. Recoveries yield for spiking samples were ranged from 64±9% (R.S.D) for carbendazim to 108±14% (R.S.D.) for hexythiazox at the concentration of 0.1 mg kg−1 (n=5). The correlation coefficients were greater than 0.998 over the range between 0.02 and 2 mg kg−1. The limits of quantitation (LOQ) were 0.02 mg kg−1 for all the pesticides. The applicability of the method to detect and quantify imidacloprid,…
Recent trends in liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to determine pesticides and their metabolites in food
2007
Abstract The applications of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) have exploded in innumerable analytical fields, including pesticide-residue determination. There is no doubt that LC-MS is currently competing with gas chromatography (GC)-MS for the status of ‘reference’ analytical technique to determine pesticide residues and that its ever-increasing application is bound to the evolution of modern instruments and their growing performance qualities. We highlight the large number and variety of pesticides that can be readily determined using such instruments, the respective merits of the different mass analyzers, and the improvements brought about by tandem MS (MS 2 ). We also dis…
Capabilities of different liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry systems in determining pesticide residues in food
2007
Abstract Three different liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) instruments equipped with triple quadrupole (QqQ), quadrupole ion trap (QIT) and quadrupole-time-of-flight (QqTOF), suitable to carry out tandem mass spectrometry, were examined to determine pesticide residues in food. Twelve pesticides (acrinathrin, bupirimate, buprofezin, cyproconazole, λ-cyhalothrin, fluvalinate, hexaflumuron, kresoxim-methyl, propanil, pyrifenox, pyriproxyfen and tebufenpyrad) and six matrices (oranges, strawberries, cherries, peaches, apricots and pears) were taken as model. The comparison was focused on two aspects: the quantitative, covering sensitivity, precision and accuracy as well as the qua…
The Role of the Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry in Pesticide Residue Determination in Food
2008
The use of liquid chromatography (LC) in pesticide residue determination was usually limited to groups of compounds or single compounds for which no suitable gas chromatographic (GC) conditions were available. However, recent developments have significantly enlarged the LC scope in this field of analysis. One of the most important advances was the on-line coupling of efficient LC separation with mass spectrometry detectors (LC-MS and LC-MS/MS) that makes this technique an excellent method for the determination of pesticides and their transformation products in complex matrices such as food. This review considers the application of LC-MS/MS in this field. Emphasis is placed on the tandem MS …
Last trends in pesticide residue determination by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry
2014
Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) is as an excellent analytical tool in the determination of pesticides. Multiresidue analysis of these compounds at trace levels is one of the oldest analytical schemes within environmental and food safety. However, the issue of “pesticide residue determination” is still a hot topic for the analytical community. This review discusses current approaches and recent advances in using LC–MS for pesticide identification and quantification. We outline how MS has influenced the sample preparation process. We critically assess and compare various mass spectrometers, highlighting their strengths and limitations. We, then, review the main applications of…
