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 new mass spectrometry technique captures molecules of lower abundance in a sample, providing a more comprehensive sample ...

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 ...

Mass spectrometry-based metabolomics is transforming how researchers study metabolism in health and disease, from basic cellular pathways to complex organismal interactions. Scientists face challenges ...

Researchers 3D printed a mini quadrupole mass filter, a key component of a mass spectrometer, that performs as well as some commercial-grade devices. It can be fabricated in hours for a few dollars ...

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 ...

Weight says a lot. In the kitchen, it could mean cooking with too little or too much of an ingredient. For scientists, a ...

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 ...

Li-ion batteries are critical in energy storage, but their increasing energy density has led to worries about their safety.
