Abstract

Abstract : A novel group of heterogeneous cations induced clusters (HeteroCICs) formed only at the surface of the micro-droplet is discovered by mass spectrometry (MS). Abstract : The surface of a micro-droplet can be treated as a simplified model to study reactions on a cell membrane. A novel group of heterogeneous cations induced clusters (HeteroCICs) that formed at the surface of micro-droplets was discovered by mass spectrometry (MS). This novel category of clusters are produced through two types of cations co-induced self assemblies of thymine molecules. Applying this phenomenon, an on-line derivatization and quantitation method of "ambient MS" style has been established, which can be used to real time monitor fish freshness changes during shelf-life.
