Capture Compounds towards a targeted reduction of proteome complexity
caprotec bioanalytics GmbH

Capture Compound Mass Spectrometry (CCMS) enables the enrichment of proteins based on their functionality. CCMS is commercialized as kits for research applications and in collaborations with pharmaceutical companies. The focus is on investigating mechanisms of drug action and avoidance of toxic effects of small molecule drugs.

A Novel Approach to Internal Standardization in LC/MS/MS Analysis; Sensitive LC/MS/MS Analysis of Gentamicin
MicroConstants, Inc., 9050 Camino Santa Fe, San Diego, CA 92121

A novel approach to internal standardization in LC/MS/MS is demonstrated. Gentamicin, a multi-component aminoglycoside, is derivatized with propyl-d7 chloroformate making the internal standard. Gentamicin components in the samples are derivatized with non-labeled propyl chloroformate making them analogous to the internal standard. Additional benefits of the derivatization are increased hydrophobicity and excellent MS/MS fragmentation allowing for a sensitive LLOQ of 2 ng/mL total Gentamicin usin
