Date: Monday, May 17, 2010

MEETING CANCELLED:Will be rescheduled for a later date>

Speaker: Dr. Jeanette Adams, Preservation Directorate, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

Topic: Analysis of Printing and Writing Papers by Using DART-MS

Time: Cancelled

Location: Shimadzu Scientific Instrument, Inc. Training Center

7100 Riverwood Drive, Columbia, MD 21046 (directions)

Dinner:

Abstract: Direct analysis in real time mass spectrometry (DART-MS) is a relatively new MS method that directly and quickly identifies intact volatile, semivolatile, and nonvolatile polar organic compounds in a variety of matrices without extractions, derivatizations, and chromatographic separations. This talk will present examples of paper degradation challenges, show how DART-MS can be optimized for identifying organic components of papers with minimal destructive sampling,and discuss the relationship between ionization by DART-MS and pyrolysis-MS.

Please join Professor Dan Fabris, the co-chairs and the speaker for dinner at 5:30 pm at the Ellicott Mills Brewing Company (www.Ellicottmillsbrewing.com), 8308 Main Street, Ellicott City, MD 21043 (410.313.8141). Contact Dan Fabris at fabris@umbc.edu and let him know you will be there.

Abstract: Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a valuable tool for the identification and characterization of a wide variety of targets. Research at JHU/APL has focused on advancing the applications of MALDI MS in the realm of chemical and biological sample analysis for homeland security applications. This presentation will highlight several recent and ongoing projects involving MALDI MS, including: 1) development and testing of an automated sample preparation and analysis platform for characterization of unknown “white powders”, 2) MALDI-MS imaging of fingerprint residues to identify novel targets for latent print visualization, and 3) sequencing of short DNA and RNA oligomers by in-source decay fragmentation using a novel MALDI matrix.

Dinner: Please join co-chairs Alexei Gapeev, Berk Oktem and the speaker for dinner at for dinner at the Ram’s Head Tavern at Savage Mill, 8600 Foundry Street, Savage, MD 20763 at 5:00 pm. Contact Alexei Gapeev (gapeev@umbc.edu ) and let him know you will be there.

Abstract: Although LC/MS of peptides has advanced a great deal, with numerous effective sample preparation techniques, chromatography columns, and automated MS routines, the same can’t be said for the analysis of intact proteins. While peptide analysis is a powerful tool, missed cleavages and incomplete sequence coverage make it difficult to use for the comparison and differentiation of closely related proteins, such as protein toxins, food allergens, and similar bacterial strains. For this reason, we are exploring techniques to effectively extract, separate, and analyze intact proteins, with specific attention to parameters that permit high protein recoveries, reproducible results, and maximize the total number of cellular proteins observed.

Interpretation of Mass Spectra Short Course: April 6 and 7, 2010

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 14:30:15 +0000

COURSE IS NOW FULL: See ASMS Website for the same course offered at the ASMS national meeting in Salt Lake City.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The Washington-Baltimore Mass Spectrometry Discussion Group (WBMSDG) will present a short course on “Interpretation of Mass Spectra.” This introductory level course on the qualitative interpretation of mass spectra of organic, biochemical and environmental compounds will be taught by solving practical examples. Registrants should be familiar with basic principles of organic chemistry. The principles of interpretation will be introduced through lectures and augmented through extensive problem-solving. Although emphasis will be placed on the interpretation of electron ionization mass spectra, the concepts of chemical ionization, electrospray ionization, and MALDI will also be introduced. The workshop format and a high instructor:student ratio are designed to benefit those with little or no experience, but who wish to expand their interpretation skills. This is the same short course that the WBMSDG presents each year at the ASMS Annual Conference.

FORMAT A workshop format and limited class size will ensure the participants ample opportunity to interact with the instructors.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Chemists and Laboratory Personnel with no formal training in mass spectrometry, and Chromatographers who are using mass selective detectors or ion traps as chromatography detectors. A knowledge of basic organic chemistry will be assumed.

DATE/PLACE: April 6 and 7, 2010 – 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (ample free parking available)

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Inc., 7100 Riverwood Drive, Columbia, Maryland 21046. Directions: for driving directions and map, see: http://wbmsdg.org/wordpress/

REGISTRATION: Early registration is recommended and encouraged! Course enrollment will be limited to 36 students to ensure a high instructor to student ratio. Registration fee includes textbooks, course materials, lunches and coffee breaks. To register, complete and return the attached pdf - shortcourse2010

Registration Fee

If payment received by March 15, 2010: $ 400 (full); $ 250 (student)

Topic: Aerosol Mass Spectrometry: How it works and what it tells us about the air we breathe

Speaker: Professor Murray Johnston, Department of Chemistry, University of Delaware

Time: 7:30 pm

Location: Shimadzu Scientific Instrument, Inc. Training Center 7100 Riverwood Drive, Columbia, MD 21046

Meeting Directions

Abstract: Aerosol mass spectrometers measure the time-resolved chemical composition of airborne particles. Our laboratory has developed several instruments, each based on a different detection principle targeting a specific combination of particle size and chemical components – from the nanometer to micrometer size range and from semivolatile organic compounds to refractory inorganic materials. These instruments have been used in the field to characterize ambient air and in the laboratory to study chemical processes associated with particle formation and growth. This presentation will provide an overview of the methodology associated with these instruments and what they tell us about atmospheric processes.
