Analysis of the Natural Organic Compound YTX by Using TOF-TOF Option
Introduction
Yessotoxin (YTX) is one of the substances that cause food poisoning when humans consume toxic shellfish. The structure of this compound has been previously analyzed by high-energy collision induced dissociation (CID) using a traditional four sector tandem double focusing mass spectrometer.[1]
In this work, we analyzed YTX by using a JMS-S3000 SpiralTOF™ equipped with the optional TOF-TOF analyzer to generate a high energy CID product ion spectrum.
