Mass Spectrometry

Oscar van den Brink, managing director of COAST and TKI-Chemistry in the Netherlands.

You’ve convinced your boss that your laboratory absolutely needs a shiny new quadrupole-based, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) system for trace element analysis. Now what?

Ahead of New Oleans, we offer a little history, editorial program picks, and invite you to the Humanity in Science Award symposium.

A UK study is set to examine whether new Raman technology can be used to assist surgeons during brain tumor removal.

In this second article of a short series Dr Paul Kippax is looking at the how recent innovations are substantially enhancing the value and informational productivity of some of our established and trusted analytical techniques. This time, the addition of multiple detectors to a GPC/SEC analysis…

Is analytical science poised to storm the theatre and steal the spotlight? Possibly not. But I do sense an increasingly central – and recognized – role, particularly in the clinic.

Do you want your spellbinding scientific poster to be seen by a wider audience?

Other techniques are beating chromatography and mass spectrometry to the hero’s reward all too often. Are they better? No. Are they faster to first result? Yes. Is it time to acknowledge that – on the frontlines – fit-for-purpose triumphs over best-in-class? You decide.

Rapid screening for total mercury content of water, soils and fish takes to the field
