LC–MS

How is mD-LC–MS changing the way we evaluate HPLC peaks and assess performance?

In the first LCGC Blog of 2025, Caitlin Cain of the University of Michigan highlights the divide between gas and liquid chromatographers, and why both types of techniques should be in the same conversations.

In this column, we discuss the label-free and stable isotope labeling proteomics approaches that help in biomarker discovery. We also discuss the different enrichment techniques, such as stable isotope labeling by amino acid in cell culture (SILAC), isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ), and tandem mass tags (TMT, that help in measuring low-abundance protein biomarkers.

Known as “forever chemicals”, PFAS exposure has been linked indirectly and directly to a range of potential health issues. The objective of this study was the development of an optimized sample preparation and LC–MS/MS method for the analysis of PFAS in serum for biomonitoring applications.

As part of our RAFA 2024 coverage, we interviewed Rudolf Krska of BOKU University about his research on food safety, specifically regarding using analytical methods to mycotoxins and other secondary metabolites in plants and foods.

Michael Sulyok of the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences discusses a novel “dilute and shoot” LC–MS/MS technique to analyze mycotoxins in grain products.

LCGC International sat down with Faith Johnson of ECOLAB to discuss her career and work with the Females in Mass Spectrometry (FeMS) group.

A study has used gas chromatography coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer to build an electron ionization mass spectra database of more than 250 chemicals classified as either volatile or semi-volatile compounds. An additional, confirmatory layer of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis was subsequently performed.

The evolution of LC–MS for characterizing mRNA therapeutics is discussed.
