Zellen, als Grundeinheit für Organismen, bilden einen wesentlichen Eckpfeiler für das Leben. Die Untersuchung von einzelnen Zellen liefert wertvolle Einblicke in fundamentale Prozesse des Lebens. So können Anomalien auf der Zelleebene Indikatoren für Krankheiten sein und durch eine Analyse früh erkannt werden. Weiterhin kann durch ein tiefgreifendes Verständnis von Vorgängen in Zellen auch gezielt Forschung zu z.B. neuen Medikamenten betrieben werden. Damit können die Wirksamkeit erhöht und die Nebenwirkungen reduziert werden.
Materials in contact with the environment release e.g., metal-ions, elemental species and/or (nano-)particles. Once these species and/or particles are released, they are ingested by organisms and cells and thus, might have a negative impact on the environment. Thus, identification as well as quantification of potentially harmful substances is of utmost importance and highly needed to assess ecotoxicological impact of (emerging) pollutants.
The oral presentation provides an overview on the power of elemental analytical techniques, in particular ICP-MS as well as HR-CS-GFMAS in environmental research. Current research topics from Division 1.1 @ BAM - Inorganic trace analysis will be highlighted:
i) Elemental Speciation & Isotope analysis - new tools:
Among elemental species separation and quantification, one of the main challenges in environmental elemental speciation analysis is the distinction between anthropogenic and natural elemental species. The on-line combination of elemental speciation and isotope analysis combines “the best from both worlds” - species specific isotopic information becomes available.
As an application example the analysis of current anti-fouling agents via CE/MCICP-MS will be highlighted.
ii) HR-CS-GFMAS for PFC analysis:
Per- and polyfluorinated compounds (PFC) are emerging contaminants in particular in soil and surface water samples. Due to the large number of compounds (>4700), target analytical methods are not sufficient and sum parameter methods for organically bound fluorine are highly needed.
High resolution-continuum source-graphite furnace molecular absorption spectroscopy (HR-CS-GFMAS) based methods for organically bound fluorine analysis will be presented. Application examples (soil and surface water) will be highlighted.
iii) Single cell-ICP-ToF-MS - ecotox. assessment:
Single cell and single organism analysis for e.g. ecotoxicological/medicinal assessment are hot topics in the research field of ICP-MS. In particular ICP-ToF-MS is a powerful, emerging techniques in terms of single cell/particle analysis.
Automated single cell/diatom-ICP-ToF-MS as a potential tool in ecotoxicological testing will be presented.
With the latest ICP-MS technology - ICP-ToF (time of flight)-MS - it is possible to analyze the multi-element fingerprint of individual cells. The interface between material and environmental analysis thus receives special attention, e.g. when considering corrosion processes. Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is highly unpredictable due to the diversity of microbial communities involved. The development of the MIC-specific ICP-ToF-MS analytical method presented here at the single cell level, in combination with the investigation of steel-MIC interactions, contributes significantly to progress in instrumental MIC analysis and will enable clarification of the processes taking place.

Per- und polyfluorierte Alkylverbindungen (PFAS) sind sehr persistent und reichern sich in der Umwelt und im menschlichen Organismus in immer höheren Konzentrationen an. PFAS stellen deshalb eine große Gefährdung für Mensch und Umwelt dar. Eingesetzt werden sie u. a. als wasser- und fettabweisende Beschichtung in z. B. der Papier- und Textilindustrie und gelangen so während Produktion, Gebrauch und Entsorgung u. a. in den Wasserkreislauf. PFAS konnten sogar in der arktischen Umwelt in relevanten Konzentrationen detektiert werden und zählen somit zu den „emerging pollutants“. Ein prominenter Vertreter der PFAS stellt Perfluoroctansulfonsäure (PFOS) dar - die jedoch bereits im Anhang des Stockholmer Abkommen gelistet wurde und deren Einsatz somit stark eingeschränkt bzw. verboten ist. Im Hinblick auf die Vielzahl von Verbindungen werden neue analytische Methoden benötigt, die eine PFAS-Belastungssituation möglichst umfassend und nachweisstark widerspiegeln, um zukünftig mögliche Grenzwerte ableiten zu können.
In many scientific fields, isotopic analysis can offer valuable information, e.g., for tracing the origin of food products, environmental contaminants, forensic and archaeological samples (provenance determination), for age determination of minerals (geochronological dating) or for elucidating chemical processes. Up to date, typically bulk analysis is aimed at measuring the isotopic composition of the entire elemental content of the sample. However, the analyte element is usually present under the form of different species. Thus, separating species of interest from one another and from matrix components prior to isotope ratio measurements can provide species-specific isotopic information, which could be used for tracing the origin of environmental pollutants and elucidation of (environmental) speciation. Using on-line hyphenations of separation techniques with multicollector-ICP-MS (MC-ICP-MS) can save time and effort and enables the analysis of different species during a single measurement.
In this work, we developed an on-line hyphenation of CE with multicollector-ICP-MS (CE/MC-ICP-MS) for isotopic analysis of sulfur species using a multiple-injection approach for instrumental mass bias correction by standard-sample bracketing. With this method, the isotopic composition of sulfur in sulfate originating from river water could be analyzed without sample preparation. The results were compared to data from off-line analysis of the same samples to ensure accuracy. The precision of the results of the on-line measurements was promising regarding the differentiation of the river systems by the isotopic signature of river water sulfate. The great potential of this method is based on the versatility of the applied separation technique, not only in the environmental field but also for, e.g., biomolecules, as sulfur is the only covalently bound constituent of proteins that can be analyzed by MC-ICP-MS.
ICP-ToF (Flugzeitanalysator, engl. time of flight)-MS ermöglicht den Multielement Fingerabdruck einzelner Zellen (single cell) zu analysieren. Die single cell-ICP-ToF-MS kommt bei dem vorgestellten Poster bei der Analyse von Archaeen, die an mikrobiell beeinflusster Korrosion (engl. microbiologically influenced corrosion, MIC) von Stahl eine Rolle spielen, zum Einsatz. Mittels sc-ICP-ToF-MS wird die mögliche Aufnahme von einzelnen Elementen aus dem jeweiligen Stahl untersucht – die erhaltenen Informationen fließen zukünftig in die Aufklärung zugrunde liegender Mechanismen sowie Entwicklung möglicher Materialschutzkonzepte ein. Die Arbeiten Verknüpfen moderne Methoden der Analytical Sciences mit Materialien.
Molekülmassenspektrometrie entwickelt sich weg von klassischer Target- hin zu Nontarget-Analytik. Elementmassenspektrometrie liefert hohe Ortsauflösung beim Element-Imaging und analysiert einzelne Zellen. Aufgrund der Fortschritte bei den Geräten für Timeof-Flight-Massenspektrometrie mit induktiv gekoppeltem Plasma (ICPToF-MS) lässt sich das gesamte Periodensystem der Elemente in kurzen transienten Signalen quasi-simultan massenspektrometrisch erfassen.
Nearly all disease processes are associated with variations of components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) that are typically observed during the development of inflammation. This concerns for example proteoglycans and their associated glycosaminoglycans (GAG), which have been shown to bind to cationic metal imaging probes due to their strong complexing activity. The complexing activity largely depends on the degree of GAG sulfation and/or carboxylation as well as on the GAG isomericity. In this central project, we investigate GAG structures from inflammatory disorders (namely cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory intestinal diseases and neuroinflammation) provided by researchers of the Collaborative Research Center at the molecular disaccharidic level using chromatographic and mass spectrometric methods. In parallel, the spatial localization and quantification of metal-based imaging probes are evaluated by LA-ICP-MS imaging.
