Thermo Fisher Scientific Acquires picoSpin
Thermo Fisher Scientific (Massachusetts, USA) has acquired picoSpin (Colorado, USA), the company credited with the creation of the world's first miniature nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. picoSpin first introduced the award-winning shoebox-sized NMR spectrometer in 2010. More... |
Aromatic Amino Acids as Biomarkers of Gastric Cancer
Higher levels of aromatic amino acids may indicate early stage gastric cancer, according to a research group in China.1 Gastric cancer is difficult to diagnose at the onset of the disease because symptoms are normally found at a later stage. For patients requiring treatment, time is precious, and so efforts are in place to find new methods of diagnosing gastric cancer to remove the need for a display of physical symptoms. More... |

Field-Flow Fractionation Coupled with ICP-MS for the Analysis of Engineered Nanoparticles in Environmental Samples
This article provides an overview of the capabilities of field-flow fractionation coupled with inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry and demonstrates that the technique shows a great deal of promise to separate, detect and quantitate nanoparticles in environmental matrices. More... |
Determination of Histamine in Human Serum/Plasma by SPE and HILIC LC–MS–MS
Histamine is a low-molecular-weight amine that plays several critical physiological roles, most notably in mediating the inflammation response. Reversed-phase HPLC analysis of histamine has been a challenge in the past due to the high polarity and poor retention. This article looks at the potential solution that HILIC (hydrophilic interaction chromatography) offers. More... |
