These courses include “Enhancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Mass Spectrometry Community,” led by Jeanita Pritchett, of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and cofounder of Facilitate 2 Motivate (F2M) a STEM-focused consulting firm, and Kara Robinson, also of NIST, and cofounder of F2M; “Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry: An Introduction to Instrumentation, Applications, and Data Analysis,” led by instructors Erin Baker (North Carolina State University), Brian H. Clowers (Washington State University), and John A. McLean (Vanderbilt University); “LC–MS: Practical Bioanalytical Method Validation by LC–MS/MS,” with instructor Perry Wang; “Lipidomic Workflows, An Introduction,” with instructors John Bowden (University of Florida), Juan Henao (Berg Health), Jeremy Koemel (Yale University); and “Top-Down MS Data Analysis and Visualization,” with instructors Xiaowen (Kevin) Liu (Tulane University), Sean Mcilwain (University of Wisconsin) and Mowei Zhou (PNNL).
Best of the Week: Food Analysis, Chemical Migration in Plastic Bottles, STEM Researcher of the Year
December 20th 2024Top articles published this week include the launch of our “From Lab to Table” content series, a Q&A interview about using liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS) to assess chemical hazards in plastic bottles, and a piece recognizing Brett Paull for being named Tasmanian STEM Researcher of the Year.
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.
