Mass Spectrometry

Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) appears to be caught in a dichotomy – proven success in some fields, skepticism in others.

A growing target list, increasingly complex matrices, and the need for low limits of detection can make our field seem like an uphill treadmill.

Thin-layer chromatography’s ability to simply and inexpensively provide high-quality separations in parallel makes it the perfect partner for MALDI mass spectrometry

Can R&D organizations really afford to kill off analytical data that could be used for future decision-making? Perhaps it’s time to breathe life back into analytical data environments.

The juxtaposition of simplicity through new technology with complexity in the chemistry keeps gas chromatographic method development exciting – despite GC being described by many as a “mature” technique. But are we still using packed-column thinking?

Just imagine how many analytical problems would be solved if we could increase the resolution of liquid chromatography (LC) from hundreds to thousands or perhaps a hundred thousand compounds?

Online hyphenation of capillary electrophoresis and mass spectrometry is nearly 30 years old, but has been ignored in certain camps. It’s time to give CE-MS a chance.

Is the heat applied in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry really responsible for false results? And, if so, how often?

Hormones are examples of contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) that have been detected in environmental and drinking waters around the world in trace amounts (1, 2).
