Scientists at The Rockefeller University have built a prototype mass spectrometer that can process over a billion molecules ...

Mass spectrometry is already a powerful tool for determining what kind and how many molecules are present in a given sample. But most instruments still analyze their molecules one or just a few at a ...

This article outlines some of the commonly used mass spectrometers for proteomics. This includes several instrument ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. ­— Imagine if diagnosis and treatment for devastating conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease could be developed quickly by extensive profiling of protein signatures in human tissues.

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 ...

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, ...

The team, from biopharmaceutical company Regeneron, hopes their work will help researchers better understand protein-protein interactions during preclinical development of a drug. “Essentially, we ...

When ion-exchange chromatography and mass spectrometry are coupled using electrochemical ion suppression, it allows for the selective and specific analysis of highly polar and ionic compounds. The ...

Daniel Petras (left) and Mingxun Wang, both assistant professors at UCR, replace a control board of the mass spectrometer used for the analysis of marine dissolved organic matter.

A reengineered mass spectrometer prototype can now analyze up to a billion molecules simultaneously, a leap from conventional instruments that handle only a few at a time. The advance, reported in ...
