    Area of Science:

    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Mass Spectrometry
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Analyzing involatile molecules using mass spectrometry is challenging due to difficulties in gas-phase ionization.
    • Condensed-phase ion production is highly sensitive to matrix properties and susceptible to quenching by impurities.
    • Traditional mass spectrometry methods are often unsuitable for complex, non-volatile biological samples.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the principles and applications of 252Californium plasma desorption mass spectrometry (252Cf-PDMS) for involatile molecules.
    • To demonstrate the identification of involatile marine toxins, including red tide toxins.
    • To introduce a novel time-dependent analysis for monitoring room-temperature chemical reactions in situ.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing 252Californium plasma desorption mass spectrometry (252Cf-PDMS) for ion generation from condensed phases.
    • Applying the technique to analyze complex biological samples, such as marine toxins.
    • Implementing time-dependent measurements to track dynamic chemical processes within the sample.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully identified involatile marine toxins using 252Cf-PDMS, showcasing its applicability to challenging samples.
    • Demonstrated the capability of 252Cf-PDMS to monitor time-dependent chemical reactions due to sample conservation.
    • Highlighted the robustness of 252Cf-PDMS against matrix effects and impurities that hinder other methods.

    Conclusions:

    • 252Californium plasma desorption mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for analyzing involatile compounds, including toxins.
    • The method's ability to conserve samples allows for novel time-resolved studies of chemical dynamics.
    • 252Cf-PDMS offers significant advantages over traditional mass spectrometry for complex and sensitive analyses.
