LC–high resolution MS in environmental analysis: from target screening to the identification of unknowns
Open accessAbstract
This article provides an overview of the state-of-the-art and future trends of the application of LC-high resolution mass spectrometry to the environmental analysis of polar micropollutants. Highly resolved and accurate hybrid tandem mass spectrometry such as quadrupole/time-of-flight and linear ion trap/orbitrap technology allows for a more reliable target analysis with reference standards, a screening for suspected analytes without reference standards, and a screening for unknowns. A reliable identification requires both high resolving power and high mass spectral accuracy to increase selectivity against the matrix background and for a correct molecular formula assignment to unknown compounds. For the identification and structure elucidation of unknown compounds within a reasonable time frame and with a reasonable soundness, advanced automated software solutions as well as improved prediction systems for theoretical fragmentation patterns, retention times, and ionization behavior are needed.

In the citing paper
“Other important advances include fast fullscanning rates (i.e.>1 Hz), which allows for on-line coupling to chromatography, and high sensitivity, thereby allowing detection of some trace contaminants at femtogram levels in full-scan operation.”
In the citing paper
“Modern advances in full-scan high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) instrumentation open the possibility to unknown chemical discovery without a priori hypotheses or authentic standards [24].”
In the citing paper
“This is largely thanks to a combination of higher mass spectral resolving power (RP), which reduces interferences and may reveal minor features, and high mass accuracy, which allows prediction of molecular formulas for the spectral peaks.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
