MS: The Practical Art Editor Kate Yu interviews Fred McLafferty about his pioneering career in mass spectrometry.

A systematic approach for the identification of nontargeted species using nominal and accurate mass data searching both mass spectral and "spectral-less" databases is described.

This instalment provides a brief overview of some multidimensional approaches targeted at intact protein analysis for life science applications, particularly for biopharmaceutical analysis.

Mass spectrometry analysis of lipids in complex matrices is revolutionizing the way lipid research is conducted.

Innovative technologies are rapidly helping to measure the numerous and diverse lipids present in biological samples. In this second and final instalment of the series, the authors present and discuss the use of these technologies for lipid analysis.

This two-part column explains how lipids analysis has evolved and the variety of techniques and approaches currently used in lipidomics, including their advantages and disadvantages, such as sample preparation, separations and, of course, mass spectrometry.

Part I of this series explains how lipids analysis has evolved.
