Lipidomics Advances and Females in Mass Spec: An Analytica Interview with Anne Bendt
Bendt, of SLING, or Singapore Lipidomics Incubator, spoke with LCGC at Analytica 2024 about her research in the field of lipidomics, and about her work laying the ground for the Females in Mass Spectrometry group.
Anne Bendt is the Deputy Director and Principal Investigator of the Singapore Lipidomics Incubator (SLING), Life Sciences Institute. Her expertise in lipidomics extends to researching and developing biomarkers and diagnostics, translation and commercialization, and how this course of study relates to infectious diseases.
SLING, according to Bendt's bio online, is a "worldwide leading program for mass spectrometry (MS)-based analysis" of lipids. Bendt hopes to continue her research into clinical applications of MS for small molecules.
LCGC International sat down with Bendt at the Analytica 2024 conference in Munich, Germany to discuss the following topics:
- Tell us about the session you chaired at Analytica this week. (0:20)
- Give us a brief overview of your research and what you're working on. (2:39)
- Any future goals for your work that you'd like to share with us? (3:39)
- Tell us about your work with Females in Mass Spectrometry. (4:55)
- How can anyone who is interested get involved with Females in Mass Spectrometry? (7:26)
- What was the most exciting thing you did at Analytica this year? (8:38)
New Study Uses MSPE with GC–MS to Analyze PFCAs in Water
January 20th 2025Scientists from the China University of Sciences combined magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to analyze perfluoro carboxylic acids (PFCAs) in different water environments.
SPE-Based Method for Detecting Harmful Textile Residues
January 14th 2025University of Valencia scientists recently developed a method using solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC–HRMS/MS) for detecting microplastics and other harmful substances in textiles.
PFAS Analysis in Practice: A RAFA 2024 Interview with Stefan van Leuwen
January 10th 2025At the Recent Advances in Food Analysis (RAFA) conference in 2024, LCGC International sat down with Stefan van Leuwen of Wageningen Food Safety Research to discuss his research, which addresses emerging challenges in circular food production, focusing on the risks posed by pollutants when waste and by-products are repurposed in food systems.
