Ultra High Resolution Mass Spectrometry for Comprehensive Lipidome Analysis
October 28th 2015This podcast will discuss the capabilities of modern ultra high resolution accurate mass (HRAM) spectrometry based approaches for comprehensive lipidome identification and quantitative analysis. Examples will be given of how this instrumentation can be used to overcome many of the identification challenges for lipidomics, the advantages of HRAM approaches over traditional triple quadrupole or high resolution based methods, and the biological questions that can be addressed.

The LCGC Blog: Simple Visual Methods to Assess HPLC Column Performance – and Get You Out of Trouble!
October 12th 2015A client asked me recently for a quick but "as optimized as possible" separation for some monoclonal antibody (MAb) characterization (digest) samples using LC-MS. The samples had been prepared and were awaiting analysis-typical forward planning! Actually his internal analytical department had changed their priority and he was left hanging.
