Fox News? coverage of the recent research done to review scientific procedures on the Viking Mars mission in 1976 has found that one form of separation science used at the time should be replaced by another form of separation science that has only become available in recent years.
Fox News’ coverage of the recent research done to review scientific procedures on the Viking Mars mission in 1976 has found that one form of separation science used at the time should be replaced by another form of separation science that has only become available in recent years.
Calling the GC–MS equipment used to analyze Martian soil on the mission “not sensitive enough to detect signs of alien life even if they existed,” the report indicates that a form of gas spectrometry should be used in the future. This form of spectrometry enables soil to be heated to a much higher temperature, enabling the analyzer to take more sensitive readings.

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.
