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 ...

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 ...

This Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine review examines a central challenge in precision medicine: whether medical ...

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 ...

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, ...

A new prototype could supercharge mass spectrometry by analyzing thousands of molecules at once instead of one by one. The breakthrough boosts sensitivity enough to reveal rare, hidden ...

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 ...
