Gurus of CE-MS
November 17, 2015
Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) appears to be caught in a dichotomy – proven success in some fields, skepticism in others. Here, Norman (Norm) Dovichi, Michael Knierman, Rob Haselberg, Tomoyoshi Soga, and Christian Wenz discuss the road ahead for a hyphenated technique that appears to be on the up.
