Laser-produced ions were detected and analyzed remotely by a reflectron mass spectrometer for determination of the elemental composition. Detection of ions at 3.9 m from the target was accomplished. Elemental and isotopic mass spectra of aluminum, germanium, copper, silver, and complex targets such as a lunar simulant and Standard Reference Material 1834 were mass-analyzed at 1 × 109 W/cm2 (0.02 wt % detection limit), giving good correlation with manufacturers' stated elemental composition and yield. Mass spectra could be obtained in a single laser pulse. The mass resolution is 62 at mass 63 and 77 at mass 28. Such a system could be extended to a remote laser mass spectrometer on a lunar rover or satellite for planetary surface mass analysis.

Background: Buprenorphine is quite common in the illicit market. Buprenorphine-containing drugs abuse is frequently encountered in patients. The analysis methods used to determine the abuse of buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine are important for forensic science. Buprenorphine is metabolized to norbuprenorphine by the liver. Objective: Therefore, the determination of buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine in urine is one of the methods to determine the abuse of buprenorphine. Methods: In this study, we have developed a precise, simple, and rapid ultra-performance liquid chromatographytandem mass spectrometer method for the determination of buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine simultaneously. Results: The developed method was validated in terms of selectivity and linearity, which was in the range of 9–1800 ng/mL for both buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine. The intra-assay and inter-assay accuracy and precision were found within acceptable limits of the EMA guideline. Lower limits of quantitation were 9 ng/mL for both buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine. Conclusion: The developed method was successfully applied for the determination of both analytes in the proficiency testing samples.

Abstract Background: Food authenticity is demanded by the consumer at all times. The consumer places trust in the manufacturer that the food product is genuine in terms of what is recorded on the packaging label. Objective: Recent advancements in LC–tandem MS methodology in the detection of allergens, meat, and gelatin speciation in raw food products and processed foods are detailed in this paper. Method: For each of the three methods, initial proteome analysis and the screening leading to the determination of unique tryptic peptides were conducted using a high-resolution, accurate tandem mass spectrometer. Having identified the unique markers, the method was transferred to a tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer for a higher-sensitivity quantitative study, multiple reaction monitoring transition analysis. Results: For the allergens method a detection limit of at least 10 ppm was attained across the 12 allergen peptides in this workflow. In the gluten workflow the resulting chromatograms show good detection down to 5 ppm, with no interference from the food matrices. The meat speciation method details that signature peptides could be readily identified at 1% w/w with no matrix interference. Conclusions: These single-injection workflows with cycle-time optimization enable wide coverage of analytes to identify multiple species within challenging matrix samples.
