Developing an LC-MS-MS spectra library of drugs
The Institute of Toxicology in the Clinical Toxicology and Poison Information Centre Berlin (BBGes) and Geneva Bioinformatics (GeneBio) have announced a collaboration to create a new spectral library taking advantage of high mass accuracy data.
The Institute of Toxicology in the Clinical Toxicology and Poison Information Centre Berlin (BBGes) and Geneva Bioinformatics (GeneBio) have announced a collaboration to create a new spectral library taking advantage of high mass accuracy data.
The project aims to create a dedicated MS–MS spectra library of small molecules generated by the QSTAR instrument from AB SCIEX as part of an automated on-line SPE-LC-QqTOF system. According to the company, they will use GeneBio’s SmileMS to optimize the identification of drugs, poisons and toxins with their metabolites from data acquired on the QqTOF instrument.
"SmileMS is perfect for screening the data generated on the XLC-QqTOF system. With its sophisticated and intelligent data analysis and management, the software generates a comprehensive report of the compounds, which it has identified," commented Dr Grobosch.

An LC–HRMS Method for Separation and Identification of Hemoglobin Variant Subunits
March 6th 2025Researchers from Stanford University’s School of Medicine and Stanford Health Care report the development of a liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS) method for identifying hemoglobin (Hb) variants. The method can effectively separate several pairs of normal and variant Hb subunits with mass shifts of less than 1 Da and accurately identify them in intact-protein and top-down analyses.
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.
