Analysis of PFAS in Locally Acquired Food Containers
May 1st 2023The combination of an untargeted approach using ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatography–quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC–QTOF) and a targeted approach using UHPLC–tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) are presented as an ideal method for detecting per- and polyfluroalkyl substances (PFAS) in fast-food packaging.
Ion Chromatography Helps Researchers Identify Forest Fire Emissions in Rainfall Samples
April 28th 2023Researchers have shown the effectiveness of ion chromatography (IC) in identifying markers of forest fire emissions in rainfall samples, providing valuable insights into the signature of forest fire emissions and aiding in the development of models to predict and control air pollution resulting from these events.
Advancements in High Spatial Resolution Mass Spectrometry Imaging for Spatial Metabolomics
April 28th 2023A review article describes spatial metabolomics using high spatial resolution mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), a promising technology that enables the visualization and analysis of metabolites at the cellular and subcellular levels.
ESI-MS: The Future of Single-Cell Proteomics
April 28th 2023Recent advancements in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) for single-cell proteomics are highlighted in a review article, including various separation techniques and MS instrumentation used to improve sample throughput and coverage.
Metabolomics Data Encoded into Images for AI-Based Clinical Diagnosis
April 14th 2023A new approach developed by researchers called MetImage can help decode liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS)-based untargeted metabolomics data into multichannel digital images, which is a new approach for using whole metabolome profiles for AI-based clinical applications.
