ASMS 2021 Monday Afternoon Session: Environmental: Innovative Approaches and Instrumentation
This Monday afternoon oral session, Environmental: Innovative Approaches and Instrumentation, will be held 2:30–4:30 pm in room 113 ABC. Nelson Vinueza of North Carolina State University will chair and preside the session. Six talks will take place during this session.
Sarah Choyke of the Colorado School of Mines, in Golden Colorado, will be the first presenter, with a talk titled “Enhanced PFAS Precursor Detection in Fractionated AFFFs with Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry.” Following this presentation, Virginia Benefield of MTSU, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, will speak on “Toxicant Analysis of the Particulate Matter in Biomass Smoke Using GC/MS and DART–MS Methods.”
Next, Jeffrey Gilbert of Corteva Agriscience, in Indianapolis, Indiana, will discuss “Structural Elucidation of Environmental Metabolites Using Stable Isotope Labeling Combined with EAD, CID, UVPD Fragmentation and Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry.”
Ashley Perkins of the University of South Carolina, in Columbia, South Carolina will present a talk titled “Emerging Unregulated Disinfection By-Products: Can Brita Filters Remove Them?”
The next presentation will be from Jessie Matarrita Rodriguez, who will give a talk on “Combining Ion Chromatography and Liquid Chromatography Coupled to High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry for Suspect Screening of Pesticides and Transformation Products.”
And finally, a Roundtable Discussion for Environmental: Innovative Approaches and Instrumentation will close the session. Jennifer Watson of the ASMS Office in Sante Fe, New Mexico will preside.

Using LC-MS/MS to Measure Testosterone in Dried Blood Spots
December 19th 2024Testosterone measurements are typically performed using serum or plasma, but this presents several logistical challenges, especially for sample collection, storage, and transport. In a recently published article, Yehudah Gruenstein of the University of Miami explored key insights gained from dried blood spot assay validation for testosterone measurement.
Determination of Pharmaceuticals by Capillary HPLC-MS/MS (Dec 2024)
December 19th 2024This application note demonstrates the use of a compact portable capillary liquid chromatograph, the Axcend Focus LC, coupled to an Agilent Ultivo triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical drugs in model aqueous samples.
