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 ...

Mass spectrometry measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions by ionizing chemical compounds to produce charged molecules. A typical mass spectrometer consists of three parts: a detector, a mass ...

Scientists from Russia and Germany studied the molecular composition of carbonaceous chondrites – the insoluble organic matter of the Murchison and Allende meteorites This was done in an attempt to ...

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 ...

A research team led by Prof. Chen Chilai from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a deep-sea mass spectrometer. It has completed several sea ...

Researchers 3D printed a miniature ionizer, a key component of a mass spectrometer. Their device could someday enable an affordable, in-home mass spectrometer for health monitoring. Mass spectrometry, ...

Equipment for gas chromatography, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry is complex, with multiple subsystems that control the flow of sample analyte, carrier gas and solvent fluids. The ...

Just how far mass spectrometry—the use of tools measuring the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of one or more molecules present in a sample—has progressed over the past century can be seen in a new exhibit ...

At the University of Oxford, Justin Benesch studies assemblies made between proteins called molecular chaperones and the proteins they protect in cells. These assemblies slow the formation of amyloid ...

Day 1 of the annual meeting of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS; NM, USA) has been jam-packed with press conferences from the biggest names in mass spectrometry, and I have been to ...

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 ...
