Welcome again, to Day 2 of ASMS 2009
Welcome again, to Day 2 of ASMS 2009. We?re pleased to bring you our continued coverage from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. ASMS is in full swing, and last night?s hospitality suites were as crowded as ever, as you might imagine. Tonight promises to be another crowded night at the Marriott, but before then, there is a whole day of mass spectrometry-related science.
Welcome again, to Day 2 of ASMS 2009. We’re pleased to bring you our continued coverage from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. ASMS is in full swing, and last night’s hospitality suites were as crowded as ever, as you might imagine. Tonight promises to be another crowded night at the Marriott, but before then, there is a whole day of mass spectrometry-related science.
Today’s sessions look particularly interesting, and I personally plan to attend “Quantitative Intact Proteomics” which looks like one of the most intriguing. One of the highlights I’m looking forward to is “Quantitative Top-Down Proteomics and Systems Biology of Colon Cancer,” in which new methods of colon cancer diagnosis are explored. Gel-based proteomics is used to identify significantly changing proteins, and the implications for cancer research will be profound. Another highlight is “Differential Gel Electrophoresis Examination of Asian Ash Tree Resistance to Emerald Ash Borer Attack Versus North American Ash Tree Susceptibility.” Here, gel electrophoresis is used for analysis of a variety of ash trees from around the world, and this looks to be one of those good presentations that goes off the beaten track a little. The remainder of the session looks to be equally informative, as there are few topics in the field as worthwhile and interesting as cancer research.
Once again, I would like to invite as many readers as possible to stop by Spectroscopy’s booth, #39, and say hello. These events are a great chance to meet and greet all of the colleagues and associates that you don’t get a chance to see on a regular basis, so it’s a great opportunity to get acquainted or reacquainted.
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.
