Mass Spectrometry

Richard D. Smith reflects on 40 years in mass spectrometry following his Distinguished Contribution award at ASMS 2013.

Mass spectrometry (MS) approaches are increasing our understanding of how DNA is regulated in real life.

A discussion with Dreyfus Prize winner R. Graham Cooks. It has been a very good year for visionary mass spectrometrists.

An integrated approach to uncovering distinct metabolite profile shifts in diabetes progression. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is on a rampant rise across the globe, making it a critical area of study for metabolomics and biomarker discovery.

A new biosensor cradle and app take us one step closer to portable and more universal analytical access. Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a cradle accessory for the iPhone that aligns its integral camera with a series of optical components to analyze a primed slide.

As we prepare to launch The Analytical Scientist Innovation Award, the articles in this month’s issue unwittingly form links in the innovation chain – from idea to marketed product – contributed by people who have been there, done that.
