Quantitation of Host Cell Proteins by Capillary LC/IMS/MS/MS in Combination with Rapid Digestion on Immobilized Trypsin Column Under Native Conditions
Ryota Tomioka, Kosuke Ogata, Yasushi Ishihama
Host cell protein (HCP) impurities are considered a critical quality attribute of biopharmaceuticals because of their potential to compromise safety and efficacy, and LC/MS-based analytical methods have been developed to identify and quantify individual proteins instead of employing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to assess total HCP levels.

Determination of Choline-Containing Compounds in Rice Bran Fermented with Aspergillus oryzae Using Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Masamitsu Maekawa, Anna Iwahori, Masaki Kumondai, Yu Sato, Toshihiro Sato, Nariyasu Mano
Choline-containing compounds are essential nutrients for human activity, as they are involved in many biological processes, including cell membrane organization, methyl group donation, neurotransmission, signal transduction, lipid transport, and metabolism. These compounds are normally obtained from food. Fermented brown rice and rice bran with Aspergillus oryzae (FBRA) is a fermented food product

Rapid Analysis of Glucosinolates Using Direct-Infusion Mass Spectrometry
Miho Tanewata, Akira Oikawa
We developed a rapid, accurate, and quantitative method for analyzing glucosinolates (GSLs) by combining column-free liquid chromatography (LC) with direct-infusion mass spectrometry (MS). Conventional methods for analyzing GSLs take a long time (20–50 min per sample) to perform compound separation on an LC column.

Rapid Analysis of α-Tocopherol and Its Oxidation Products Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide and Proton Transfer Reaction Ionization Mass Spectrometry
Chihiro Ota, Toshinobu Hondo, Yumi Miyake, Hiroshi Furutani, Michisato Toyoda
We have developed a rapid and sensitive analytical method for α-tocopherol and its oxidative products by combining online hyphenation of supercritical fluid extraction-supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) with proton transfer reaction

Effect of Phosphorylation on the Collision Cross Sections of Peptide Ions in Ion Mobility Spectrometry
Kosuke Ogata, Chih-Hsiang Chang, Yasushi Ishihama
The insertion of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) between LC and MS can improve peptide identification in both proteomics and phosphoproteomics by providing structural information that is complementary to LC and MS, because IMS
