Complex mixtures — that is, mixtures of individual compounds that may be difficult to differentiate using chromatographic methods — are ubiquitous in many areas of life sciences and chemistry.

This Primer summarizes the underpinning theory and experimental process in a SIMS measurement. It describes the typical data outputs and data analysis principles, using illustrative examples to show ...

Mass spectrometry is a powerful technique that allows scientists to break down and identify the building blocks of just about anything by measuring the mass of the tiny particles of which something is ...

Researchers and R&D scientists are often sitting on a gold mine of older experiment data, with no good way to extract ...

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is prominently used for analyzing elemental composition in individual cells. However, the conventional sample introduction system of ICP-MS causes ...

Our laboratory specializes in the development and application of direct mass spectrometry technologies for tissue analysis and disease detection. Our research focuses on identifying metabolic markers ...

To identify specific chemicals or molecules in the life sciences and medical research, scientists often use mass spectrometry (MS), usually paired with liquid chromatography (LC). These technologies ...

HOBOKEN, NJ— Wiley, one of the world’s largest publishers and a global leader in research and learning, today announced the 2025 release of the Mass Spectra of Designer Drugs. This database is a ...

At the University of Oxford, Justin Benesch studies assemblies made between proteins called molecular chaperones and the proteins they protect in cells. These assemblies slow the formation of amyloid ...

This is the mass spectrum for the synthetic opioid, fentanyl. The mass spectrum is like a molecular fingerprint, and is used to identify unknown compounds. The red lines represent the charged ...

While many people often use spectroscopy and spectrometry interchangeably, there are some subtle differences in their exact meanings and the associated experimental techniques they are used to ...
