Petroleomics — MS from the Ocean Floor
March 1st 2008Recent work suggests that the practical value of hyphenated techniques is limited by difficulties inherent in achieving definitive compositional answers in general MS. This article argues that it is not impossible in certain cases.
Peaks of Interest- MIT Develops Tiny Gas Sensor
March 1st 2008Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, Massachusetts, are designing a tiny sensor that can detect minute quantities of hazardous gases more efficiently and quickly than current devices on the market.
Atmospheric Pressure Photoionization — The Second Source for LC-MS?
March 1st 2008This article explores the progress that atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) has made in its relatively short history for LC–MS analysis. Specifically, the authors examine the combination of APPI and electrospray ionization (ESI).
