This study explores the potential of a novel electrospray-based method, termed gas-phase electrophoretic mobility molecular analysis (GEMMA), allowing mass determination peptides, proteins and noncovalent biocomplexes up to 2 MDa (dimer immunglobulin M). The macromolecular ions were formed by nano electrospray ionization (ESI) in 'cone jet' mode. multiple charged state monodisperse droplets/ions generated was reduced means bipolar ionized air (generated an alpha-particle source) yield...
Dextran is widely exploited in medical products and as a component of drug-delivering nanoparticles (NPs). Here, we tested whether dextran can serve the main substrate NPs form stable backbone. We dextrans with several molecular masses under synthesis conditions to optimize NP stability. The analysis obtained showed that were synthesized from 70 kDa 5% degree oxidation polysaccharide chain 50% substitution dodecylamine formed backbone composed modified subunits, mean diameter which an...
A key concern related to particulate air pollution is the development of an early warning system that can predict local PM2.5 levels and excessive concentration episodes using vertical meteorological factors. Machine learning (ML) algorithms, particularly those with recognition tasks, show great potential for this purpose. The objective study was compare performance multiple linear regression (MLR) multilayer perceptron (MLP) in predicting levels. software trained up 7 days advance data from...
In this work we present the characterization of PAMAM dendrimers from generation two (G2) up to ten (G10) with a focus on G5−G10 matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization linear mass spectrometry (MALDI−MS) and nanoelectrospray gas-phase electrophoretic mobility molecular analysis (nES−GEMMA). For first time masses high-mass G8−G10 were determined by MALDI−MS nES−GEMMA, techniques which are based different physicochemical principles. Obtained experimental data allows determination (up 580...
Abstract The performance of a narrow‐angle and wide‐angle, forward scattering laser aerosol spectrometer has been studied as function particle size refractive index. results have compared with theoretical calculations based on light theory. indicate that for the instrument, scattered‐light intensity is not monotonic transparent particles (a relationship required unambiguous measurement) above 0.7 μm. instrument therefore limited in its useful range to distribution measurement between 0.2 μm...
Differential mobility analysis (DMA) is a technique suited for size as well preparative collection of airborne nanosized particles. In the recent decade, intact viruses, proteins, DNA fragments, polymers, and inorganic nanoparticles was possible when combining this method with nano-electrospray charge-reduction source producing aerosols from sample solution/suspensions. Mass high molecular weight noncovalent complexes also methodology due to linear correlation electrophoretic diameter mass....
We present a modelled approach of scattering contribution to the radiation transmission through medium, such as an aerosol, yielding correction term Lambert-Beer law. The is essential because certain amount forward scattered light flux always overlaid on transmitted radiation. Hence it enters together with attenuated beam into finite aperture any detector system and therefore constitutes potential problem in inversion measured data. This depends not only geometry measuring but also...
During the 1979 workshop of working group on ultrafine aerosols, different experimental techniques for measuring number concentration and size aerosol particles were compared.

Kelvin-equivalent distributions these determined by means process-controlled expansion chamber, size-analyzing nuclei counter (SANC)....
Gas-phase electrophoretic mobility molecular analysis (GEMMA) separates nanometer-sized, single-charged particles according to their (EM) diameter after transition the gas-phase via a nano electrospray process. Electrospraying as soft desorption/ionization technique preserves noncovalent biospecific interactions. GEMMA is therefore well suited for of intact viruses and subviral targeting questions related particle size, bioaffinity, purity preparations. By correlating EM mass (Mr) standards,...
