Abstract: Abstract A simple and cheap design for interfacing thin layer chromatography (TLC) with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI/MS) was developed to scan and characterize compounds on TLC plate. The developed TLC plate was rapidly and easily modified into two sawtooth-edged pieces that were positioned on an XYZ stage so that one of the triangular tips was pointed toward the MS inlet. A drop of methanol and high DC voltage was applied at the tip to induce ESI. After the analytes in the first tip were analyzed, the TLC piece was moved so that the second triangular tip was pointed toward the MS inlet for analysis. The process was repeated until all the triangular tips on the piece were analyzed. In this manner, the analytes, no matter visible or non-visible bands, were scanned and characterized. Since a 4.8 cm long TLC track were cut to 32 triangles on two sawtooth pieces for analysis, the spatial resolution of using the sawtooth TLC-ESI/MS for analysis is 1.5 mm/band. A mixture of dye standards and Datura metel flower extract was analyzed to demonstrate the capability of sawtooth TLC-ESI/MS on scanning and characterizing chemical compounds on the TLC plates. The limits of detection of the dye standards were between 0.25 and 2.5 ng/band. TLC bands containing alkaloids such as scopolamine and norscopolamine from the Datura metel flower extract were not visualized on the developed TLC track, but were successfully detected at different triangular tips using sawtooth TLC-ESI/MS. Based on these results, the R f values of scopolamine and norscopolamine were determined. Graphical abstract Image 1 Highlights • Sawtooth TLC-ESI/MS was developed to characterize a mixture. • The developed TLC plate was modified into two sawtooth-edged pieces for inducing ESI at the triangular tips. • The entire TLC track was scanned with minimal gel particle detachment during analysis. • Visualizable and non-visualizable bands were both characterized, so that their R f information was elucidated.
