Chromatographers often develop problems while optimizing a method for the quantification of quaternary ammonium compounds in ESI-MS/MS. Intransigency observed in quaternary ammonium compounds to undergo the classical molecular adduct formation [M+H]+ in ESI-MS/MS reduces confidence among chromatographers while working with unit mass resolution. In this study, we provide the evidence for an exceptional rule followed by mono- and di-quaternary ammonium compounds in ESI-MS/MS in the precursor ion…

Hydrogen peroxide and sodium hypochlorite disinfectants are more effective against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms than quaternary ammonium compounds
TLDR
In general, bactericidal efficacy against biofilms differed by active ingredient, and sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide disinfectants had significantly higher bactericidal efficacies than quaternary ammonium chloride disinfectants.

Formation of low charge state ions of synthetic polymers using quaternary ammonium compounds.
TLDR
A comparison of structurally different quaternary ammonium compounds showed that the best performance is expected from large molecules with specific charge localization, which leaves the charge available for interactions in order to facilitate low charge state pseudomolecular ions.
