Hans Mol

Hans Mol has been engaged in food safety analysis for almost 20 years. “And since my PhD at the Technical University in Eindhoven in the early 1990s I’ve been in favor of getting the whole analytical picture of a sample, rather than a snapshot of specific analysis at a certain moment in time,” he says. Hans points out that there is more information in samples than questions you can think of. “Rapid developments in chromatography combined with full scan mass spectrometry means we have access to more and more information. We can answer new questions, even when the analysis was done along time ago.”

Non-Targeted is Our Target

05/15/2013 | Hans Mol

Full-scan mass spectrometry is about to transform the way that we do analyses ... Here, I describe the possibilities for non-targeted analysis that are opened up by recent improvements in instrumentation, compare the new approach to today’s best (targeted) practice, and look for solutions to the bottlenecks that are hindering widespread adoption of non-targeted analysis.
