DNA Adductomic Analysis by Data-Independent Mass Spectrometry
July 1st 2018A new type of analysis called “wide-selected ion monitoring (SIM)/MS2” scanning, is capable of screening for a wide range of DNA adducts (chemical modifications to genomic DNA). This method has successfully identified DNA adducts from carcinogen exposures and oxidative stress in human prostate and kidney tissues.
High-Throughput Analysis of Volatile Compounds in Air, Water, and Soil Using SIFT-MS
July 1st 2018For the BTEX compounds, detection limits in the single-digit parts-per-billion concentration range (by volume) are readily achievable within seconds using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS), because sample analysis is achieved without chromatography, preconcentration, or drying.
Fast GC Solution to Quantify Volatile Amines in Pharmaceuticals
June 20th 2018Researchers from Merck and Agilent Technologies have developed a simple and fast generic gas chromatography–flame ionization detection (GC–FID) method for the quantitation of volatile amines in pharmaceutical drugs and synthetic intermediates.
Instrumentation: Mass Analyzer Innovations
June 6th 2018This Wednesday morning session will cover instrumental advances for improving signal-to-noise, digital waveform technology, ion mobility, and duty cycle, and for MS analysis of precursor and neutral loss scans and intact high m/z molecular ion analysis. It will be chaired by Randall E. Pedder of Ardara Technologies and will be held in Hall D from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m.
MS in the Field and in the Clinic
June 5th 2018This Tuesday morning session will discuss clinical and field applications of mass spectrometry, such as proteomic genotyping, detection of cancer tumors and metastases, tissue profiling, and therapeutic drug monitoring. It will be chaired by Alan Rockwood of Rockwood Scientific Consulting and will be held in Ballroom 6CF from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m.
Research Awards Presented to Michael T. Marty and James S. Prell
June 5th 2018Research awards will be presented this afternoon at 4:45 in Hall D, at the ground level, to Michael T. Marty of the University of Arizona and James S. Prell of Oregon State University. Marty received his PhD in 2013 at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Environmental: Emerging Contaminants
June 5th 2018This Tuesday afternoon session will discuss mass spectrometry analysis of emerging environmental contaminants found in fish, wastewater effluent, arctic snow, drinking water, and other matrices. It will be chaired by Eunha Hoh of San Diego State University and will be held in Ballroom 6A from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.
