Wednesday morning’s session, “Achievements and Challenges in Mass Spectrometry,” was arranged by Imma Ferrer and Michael Thurman of the University of Colorado. Starting out the session will be Thurman with his opening remarks on the state of mass spectrometry.
The first presentation will be given by Jennifer S. Brodbelt from the University of Texas. Brodbelt’s talk, “Photodissociation for Bioanalysis Mass Spectrometry,” will set an interesting tone for the rest of the session.
Following Brodbelt will be Jim Hager, of MDS Analytical Technologies, with “Recent Advances in Hybrid Linear Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry.” This 30-minute presentation will offer participants insight into the advances made in this area of mass spec.
Next up is session organizers Imma Ferrer and Michael Thurman with a presentation entitled, “Food Additives as Tracers of Wastewater Using Advanced Mass Spectrometry Techniques: The “Low Fat” Diet Impact.” Ferrer will lead the discussion and offer valuable information to the audience.
The next presentation will be given by Paul Zavitsanos and Bill Russ from Agilent Technologies. Their presentation, “The History and Development of the Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer: State-of-the-Art and Future Developments,” will be an interesting take on the instrument side of mass spectrometry advances and challenges.
Finally, Nils Rehmann from the Research and Productivity Council will present, “Discovery of New Analogs of the Marine Biotoxin Azaspiracid in Blue Mussels (Mytilus edulis) by Ultra-performance Liquid Chromatography/tandem Mass Spectrometry.” This discussion will be approach the LC-MS aspect and offer new and exciting information to the audience.
The Next Frontier for Mass Spectrometry: Maximizing Ion Utilization
January 20th 2025In this podcast, Daniel DeBord, CTO of MOBILion Systems, describes a new high resolution mass spectrometry approach that promises to increase speed and sensitivity in omics applications. MOBILion recently introduced the PAMAF mode of operation, which stands for parallel accumulation with mobility aligned fragmentation. It substantially increases the fraction of ions used for mass spectrometry analysis by replacing the functionality of the quadrupole with high resolution ion mobility. Listen to learn more about this exciting new development.
Liquid Chromatography to Analyze Vitamin D Proteins in Psoriasis Patients
January 21st 2025Can a protein involved in delivering Vitamin D to target tissues have an altered serum profile in psoriasis patients with cardiovascular disease? Researchers used liquid chromatography (LC) to help find out.
The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
A Guide To Finding the Ideal Syringe and Needle
January 20th 2025Hamilton has produced a series of reference guides to assist science professionals in finding the best-suited products and configurations for their applications. The Syringe and Needle Reference Guide provides detailed information on Hamilton Company’s full portfolio of syringes and needles. Everything from cleaning and preventative maintenance to individual part numbers are available for review. It also includes selection charts to help you choose between syringe terminations like cemented needles and luer tips.
