Mass spectroscopy methods

Considerable advances in methods for the detection, identification and quantification of anthocyanins have been made recently, particularly with the advent of UPLC and improved mass spectroscopy methods. Additional work is needed, particularly with quantitation using MS. However, the biggest limitation in the quantitation of anthocyanins is the commercial availability of anthocyanin standards, which are nonexistent for most anthocyanins, and those that are available are fairly expensive. Some laboratories have been able to isolate and purify the particular anthocyanins of interest (Ling et ah, 2009 Nakamura et al., 2010), but most laboratories do not have the equipment, time, and/or expertise to fully validate the anthocyanin standards.

The study of vapor pressure is an important part of investigation on molten salts. In connection with the mass spectroscopy method, which enables us to determine the composition of the gas phase, it is a useful tool to determine the activities of components and thus the composition of both the liquid and vapor phases. 

To solve this problem we used the mass-spectroscopy method. 

This method will not identify the chemical species that induces or inhibits the quoram-sensing monitor strain. There are other methods that can aid in this, such as thin layer chromatography or gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy methods (described in ref l9)).
