Raising the Bar in Performance is a free seminar to be hosted by Thermo Fisher Scientific at its Hemel Hempstead facility in the UK on 13 November 2008. A full-day event, it will be interactive and explore different MS technologies for environmental applications, ranging from GC and quadrupole to MS–MS with ion trap and triple quadrupole.
The new TSQ Quantum GC will also be demonstrated on the day. The system was developed for use in toxicology, environmental, food, pharmaceutical and clinical research laboratories. It uses highly selective reaction monitoring (H-SRM) technology. H-SRM allows for better selectivity for low-level contaminants in difficult matrices. SRM is a function of all triple quadrupoles. H-SRM on the TSQ Quantum GC provides lower detection limits with less analyst time. This capability allows the quantification of hundreds of compounds in a single run for multi-residue screening and quantifying in heavy matrix, while zero cross-talk collision cell helps in the elimination of false positives.
Seminar attendance is free on a first-come-first-served basis. Visit www.thermo.com/ukgcms
Best of the Week: Food Analysis, Chemical Migration in Plastic Bottles, STEM Researcher of the Year
December 20th 2024Top articles published this week include the launch of our “From Lab to Table” content series, a Q&A interview about using liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS) to assess chemical hazards in plastic bottles, and a piece recognizing Brett Paull for being named Tasmanian STEM Researcher of the Year.
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.
Determination of Pharmaceuticals by Capillary HPLC-MS/MS (Dec 2024)
December 19th 2024This application note demonstrates the use of a compact portable capillary liquid chromatograph, the Axcend Focus LC, coupled to an Agilent Ultivo triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical drugs in model aqueous samples.
