A methods and interfaces for single and multidimentional separations for characterization and/or identification of molecules by mass spectrometry

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The present invention relates a use of the electrocapture-based separation technology combined with mass spectrometry (e.g. sequence of polypeptides by collision-induce dissociation mass spectrometry for the identification and/or , characterization molecules of interest). In addition it relates physical , interfaces between electrocapture-based separations and different types mass spectrometers for on-line analysis, as well as the coupling of electrocapturebased separations, liquid chromatography and different types of mass spectrometrometers. It also relates the combination of the electrocapture-base separation technology with other liquid separation methods as e.g. liquid , …
