Perhaps no tool has been as instrumental to the proteomics revolution as the mass spectrometer. With the ability to deconvolute highly complex mixtures over a wide range of abundance levels, these ...

A tool developed by IU professors is on the market and foreseeing developments in gene therapy, environmental science and more. One month into its commercial launch, the Xevo Charge Detection Mass ...

To identify specific chemicals or molecules in the life sciences and medical research, scientists often use mass spectrometry (MS), usually paired with liquid chromatography (LC). These technologies ...

Mass spectrometry is a cornerstone technique across various scientific disciplines, enabling precise analysis of complex samples, characterization of atom clusters and molecules, and elucidation of ...

Just like workers need the right environment to efficiently perform their tasks, proteins require placement within specific cellular compartments to function properly. Therefore, understanding where ...

Inside the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, an engineer installs the Mass Spectrometer observing lunar operations (MSolo) onto its radiator bracket on June ...

Waters WAT recently introduced Xevo MRT, a benchtop mass spectrometer (MS) for large population and epidemiology-type studies. The new Xevo MRT MS combines multi-reflecting time-of-flight (MRT) and ...

Can you provide an overview of mass spectrometry? Mass spectrometry is a technique that allows us to measure the mass of individual particles and molecules. A mass spectrometer instrument generates an ...

MALDI remains a powerful tool for analyzing large biomolecules with minimal fragmentation. In this process, peptides or proteins are co-crystallized with a matrix on a metal plate. A laser pulse ...

Tandem mass spectrometry is a powerful tool in proteomics. By ionizing peptides and then fragmenting those ions into smaller product ions, researchers can determine the biomolecules’ amino acid ...

How does Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometry Work? Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometry (MIMS) relies on the principles of mass spectrometry and the selective permeability of membranes that allow the passage ...

Some years ago, David Gehl made an unusual trip to Siberia. “I went to lots of sawmills and forests and came back from Russia and China with, like, 20 kg of wood boards on my back,” he recalls. Gehl ...
