Abstract
The measurement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) originating from organisms allows continuous monitoring and a unique insight into the metabolism. One method offering the sensitivity to detect these VOCs is secondary electrospray ionization coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (SESI-HRMS). SESI was derived from electrospray ionization (ESI) and has found widespread application in clinical research and monitoring of animals. This review discusses the technical aspects behind SESI, the advancements, and the technical hurdles faced. Additionally, the recent advances in the applications of SESI in human and animal-centered research are presented.
通过测量来自生物体的挥发性有机化合物(VOCs),可以对生物体的新陈代谢进行连续监测和独特的洞察。二次电喷雾离子化耦合高分辨质谱法(SESI-HRMS)是一种灵敏度高的检测 VOC 的方法。SESI 源自电喷雾离子化(ESI),已广泛应用于临床研究和动物监测。本综述讨论了 SESI 背后的技术问题、进展以及面临的技术障碍。此外,还介绍了 SESI 在以人类和动物为中心的研究中的最新应用进展。
