New Alternatives in High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry
This Wednesday afternoon session will be presided over by Gary M Hieftje of Indiana University (Bloomington, Indiana).
Session 1900, Room 308C
This Wednesday afternoon session will be presided over by Gary M Hieftje of Indiana University (Bloomington, Indiana).
The session will begin with introductory remarks by Hieftje and then continue with a presentation from Alan G Marshall of Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida, Marshall’s presentation is titled “Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance: The Mass Spectrometry Zenith”.
A session by Alexander A Makarov of Thermo Fisher Scientific will follow next and will focus on orbitrap mass spectrometry for every laboratory. Following this will be a talk by Robert B Cody of JEOL whose presentation is entitled “Another Lap Around the Racetrack: Multi-Turn Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometers”. Viatcheslav Artaev of Leco will lead the penultimate discussion of the session with a focus on high-resolution TOFMS via a mass analyser.
Steven J Ray of Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, will give the final presentation. Ray’s talk is entitled “Zoom-TOFMS: Examining the Potential of Constant Momentum Acceleration to Achieve High Resolution in Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry”.
Extracting Estrogenic Hormones Using Rotating Disk and Modified Clays
April 14th 2025University of Caldas and University of Chile researchers extracted estrogenic hormones from wastewater samples using rotating disk sorption extraction. After extraction, the concentrated analytes were measured using liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detection (HPLC-PDA).
Profiling Terpenoids in Cannabis with GC×GC-MS
April 14th 2025A joint study conducted by the University of Ferrara (Italy) and the Council for Agricultural Research and Economics (Rome, Italy) focused on the analysis of terpenes and terpenoids—key bioactive compounds responsible for the distinctive flavor and potential therapeutic effects of cannabis. For this study, the research team used comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC×GC-MS) coupled with dynamic headspace extraction (DHS) to profile these compounds in cannabis inflorescences. LCGC International spoke to Flavio A. Franchina of the University of Ferrara, corresponding author of the paper which resulted from this study, about their research.
