Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS): Interferences

692
Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP–MS) is a highly selective and sensitive technique for accurate elemental analysis. Though the analysis of ICP–MS mass spectra is comparatively straightforward, it is affected by spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic interferences. Spectroscopic interferences arise when the plasma contains ionic species with an m/z value the same as the analyte ion. Spectroscopic interference can be categorized as isobaric, polyatomic ions, and...

Next-generation Sequencing

94.2K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

11.7K
In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of environmental vibrations on PyroMark® Q48 Autoprep performance.
  • To determine the effect of vibrations on the reliability and reproducibility of methylation analysis in forensic genetics.
  • To identify solutions for improving the stability and accuracy of pyrosequencing-based methylation assays.

Main Methods:

  • Validation of pyrosequencing assays on a PyroMark® Q48 Autoprep instrument.
  • Comparison of results between two instruments, with one exhibiting high failure rates.
  • Implementation of anti-vibration weighing tables for the instruments.
  • Re-analysis of samples under identical conditions with and without vibration control.

Main Results:

  • The second PyroMark® instrument showed a high failure rate (73%) with increased errors and decreased RFU values.
  • Implementing anti-vibration tables led to a significant improvement in successful and reproducible results (88%).
