The adsorption of indole and its 2-methyl derivative from aqueous solutions onto cobalt(II)-carboxylated diaminoethane sporopollenin (CDAE-sporopollenin) was studied using a fixed-bed column at 25+/-0.1 degrees C. Minicolumn adsorption studies showed that the breakthrough and the total adsorption capacities of CDAE-sporopollenin

The potential of ion mobility (IM) spectrometry in combination with mass spectrometry (MS) for real-time reaction monitoring is reported. The combined IM-MS approach using electrospray ionization affords gas-phase analyte characterization based on both mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio and gas-phase ion mobility
