A close-up image of a time-of-flight mass spectrometer, with several metal tips all pointing at one location. Mass spectrometry, conducted with instruments such as the one shown, can uncover human ...

Interested in finding a better way to develop drugs to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Northeastern researcher Jeffrey Agar and a team of scientists came up with a technique that improves ...

Researchers 3D printed a miniature ionizer, a key component of a mass spectrometer. Their device could someday enable an affordable, in-home mass spectrometer for health monitoring. Mass spectrometry, ...

A new prototype could supercharge mass spectrometry by analyzing thousands of molecules at once instead of one by one. The breakthrough boosts sensitivity enough to reveal rare, hidden ...

A tool developed by IU professors is on the market and foreseeing developments in gene therapy, environmental science and more. One month into its commercial launch, the Xevo Charge Detection Mass ...

Just how far mass spectrometry—the use of tools measuring the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of one or more molecules present in a sample—has progressed over the past century can be seen in a new exhibit ...

The RADIAN ASAP is Waters Corporation's latest dedicated direct analysis system that has been developed for the simple, quick and affordable MS based screening of solids and liquids. The RADIAN ASAP ...

At the University of Oxford, Justin Benesch studies assemblies made between proteins called molecular chaperones and the proteins they protect in cells. These assemblies slow the formation of amyloid ...

Day 1 of the annual meeting of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS; NM, USA) has been jam-packed with press conferences from the biggest names in mass spectrometry, and I have been to ...
