β¦ Synopsis
Electron impact ionized purine bases such as caffeine and its metabolites (theophylline, theobromine, paraxanthine, 1-metbylxanthiw, 3methylxnntbine and 7-metbylxanthiw) were characterized by tandem mass spectrometry. The direct analysis of human urinary extracts by tandem mass spectrometry allows the unambiguous identification of caffeine and its metabolites present simultaneously in the urine.

The behaviour of 5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (m 5 dCyd, claimed to be a potential marker for leukaemia) during the electrospray process was studied. In particular, considerations concerning the effect of solution chemistry (e.g. analyte concentration, pH, etc.) on electrospray ionization mass spectra
