A summary of the most recent advances in sample preparation, instrumentation, and data-processing techniques for MALDI-IMS
A sensitive and selective liquid chromatography spectrometry mass spectrometry (LC–MS–MS) method to determine clenbuterol-like beta agonist residues in human hair was developed and validated.
Most plants used in traditional Chinese medicine must be processed before their medicinal usage; hence the effective ingredients may differ from those in the freshly harvested plant extracts. In this work, we present a fast and generic approach using sub-2-?m liquid chromatography–time-of-flight–mass spectrometry (sub-2-?m-LC–TOF-MS) coupled with multivariate statistical data analysis to systematically profile ingredient changes between fresh and processed samples of huang jing.
This article details a recent experiment that demonstrates how nonspecific interactions can be prevented by using metal-free or low adsorption flow paths.

Describing developments in LC–MS and GC–MS that reveal the ageing chemistry of whiskey aged in oak barrels.
This new data-management method is specifically designed to handle the large amounts of data produced in proteomics studies. Experimental methods and data are presented from a recent study conducting proteomics profiling of Schizosaccharomyces pombe to demonstrate the effectiveness of the data management solution. The results demonstrate enhanced data search speeds as well as effective data analysis.

Compounds such as ibuprofen, chlorpheniramine, and allantoin are important in the field of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. The analysis of acidic and basic compounds is particularly important but it is sometimes difficult to analyze both acidic and basic compounds on a single standard C18 column. Imtakt's Scherzo SM-C18 and Scherzo SW-C18 HPLC columns can separate acidic ibuprofen and basic chlorpheniramine simultaneously.
For lurasidone treatment adherence testing, an untargeted high-resolution mass spectrometry method was employed, using known positive human urine samples to identify the lurasidone metabolites and their relative abundance in urine.

Metabolomics, the study of small molecule metabolites that are found within a biological sample, is an emerging field of study. Progress in this field depends upon technological advancement in the fields of LC–MS and separation technology.
Here, the process to build an accurate mass database is thoroughly described and applications are commented on.
This process can improve efficiency in a drug discovery laboratory.

Keith Bartle talks about his proudest scientific achievements.
Gel filtration chromatography (GFC) is the most widely used method for quantitating protein aggregates in therapeutic drugs. It is a simple method, but prone to error as a result of poor method development and column selection. GFC columns tend to non-specifically adsorb large proteins and aggregates resulting in poor quantitation of “true” aggregate amount. Sample “priming” and mobile phase optimization can help reduce such irregularities. Simple method development rules using new column technologies are presented that demonstrate improved accuracy for these methods.
