Tutorial Session I: Moseley and Richardson
The ASMS conference will offer two parallel tutorial sessions on Sunday evening.
The ASMS conference will offer two parallel tutorial sessions on Sunday evening. The first of these includes talks from M. Arthur Moseley of Duke University of Medicine and Susan D. Richardson of the Univers
Moseley will talk about strategies for quantitative proteomics. Moseley is the Director of Proteomics for the School of Medicine at Duke. There, he develops and applies proteomic technologies for qualitative and quantitative analyses using nanoscale ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography combined using high resolution, accurate mass tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–HRMS/MS). The principal goal of his research is to increase the impact of proteomics on the basic and clinical sciences, with an emphasis on translational research leading to direct improvements in patient care. His work also addresses improvements in methods for data collection using an optimized, systematic, and standardized approach to data collection to permit the direct comparison of results across experiments, across projects, and across laboratories.
Richardson’s talk will focus on mass spectrometry in the environment. Richardson is the Arthur Sease Williams Professor of Chemistry at the University of South Carolina. The primary focus of her work is identifying new disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water, determining formation mechanisms, and integrating toxicological characterization with chemical characterization approaches. DBPs are formed when disinfectants used at water treatment plants (such as chlorine, chloramines, ozone, and chlorine dioxide) react with naturally occurring organic matter, bromide, and iodide. They can also form through the reaction of disinfectants with anthropogenic contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products, hormones, and pesticides. Human epidemiologic studies conducted in the United States and in other countries have shown increase risk for bladder cancer and the potential for early-term miscarriage and birth defects in some locations, and the DBPs responsible for these effects are currently not known.
This session will be held from 5:00 to 6:30 in Hall D, on the ground level. Moseley will talk from 5:00 to 5:45, followed by Richardson from 5:45 to 6:30 p.m.
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.
Liquid Chromatography to Analyze Vitamin D Proteins in Psoriasis Patients
January 21st 2025Can a protein involved in delivering Vitamin D to target tissues have an altered serum profile in psoriasis patients with cardiovascular disease? Researchers used liquid chromatography (LC) to help find out.
The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
A Guide To Finding the Ideal Syringe and Needle
January 20th 2025Hamilton has produced a series of reference guides to assist science professionals in finding the best-suited products and configurations for their applications. The Syringe and Needle Reference Guide provides detailed information on Hamilton Company’s full portfolio of syringes and needles. Everything from cleaning and preventative maintenance to individual part numbers are available for review. It also includes selection charts to help you choose between syringe terminations like cemented needles and luer tips.
