Mass spectrometry (MS) techniques, and in particular Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionisation Time-of-Flight (MALDI-TOF) MS, have emerged as pivotal tools in biological taxonomic studies. These ...

In a recent study published in the journal Metabolites, researchers reported that mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomic approaches have a high potential for biomarker discovery. The coronavirus ...

In recent years, filamentous fungi or molds have emerged as causative agents underlying life-threatening infections in immunocompromised individuals. The timely management of these infections requires ...

The growth is fueled by widespread adoption across healthcare, pharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, and research sectors, where mass spectrometry delivers unparalleled molecular insights, high ...

WVU doctoral student Alexandra Adeoye and forensic chemist Glen Jackson load a sample for analysis on a Q-TOF mass spectrometer, which measures the accurate mass of different drugs and their fragments ...

Effective protein characterization depends on the precise isolation and fragmentation of peptide ions within the mass spectrometer, typically coupled with liquid chromatography (LC-MS/MS). In a ...

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 ...

While many people often use spectroscopy and spectrometry interchangeably, there are some subtle differences in their exact meanings and the associated experimental techniques they are used to ...

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 ...
