Using Robotic Automation to Enhance Standardization and Traceability in Clinical Diagnostics
June 6th 2023At ASMS 2023, Tabitha Hambidge of LGC presented a novel method for automating the certification of reference materials with the help of double exact matching isotope dilution mass spectrometry (DEM-IDMS).
LC–MS Methods Evaluate PFAS and Lipidomic Changes of Lettuce and Peanuts in Contaminated Soil
June 6th 2023In a talk at ASMS 2023, Rebecca L. Beres of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill focused on two types of analysis methods: liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) and a liquid chromatography, ion mobility spectrometry, and mass spectrometry (LC–IMS-MS) platform.
Organoids and Organ-on-a-Chip: A Need for Separation Science
June 1st 2023Organoids are predicted to become important tools for personalized medicine and are alternatives to animal models. Separation science and mass spectrometry (MS) are key approaches for studying organoids and organ‑on-a-chip systems. Applications include the study of organoid drug metabolism and biomarker discovery.
Molecular Phenomics in Systems, Synthetic, and Chemical Biology
May 30th 2023John McLean previews his plenary lecture at HPLC 2023, where he will describe emerging analytical strategies using liquid chromatography–ion mobility–mass spectrometry (LC–IM–MS) for untargeted molecular phenomics in systems, synthetic, and chemical biology.
Assessing How Chemical Exposures Affect Human Health
May 30th 2023Measuring chemical exposure is extremely challenging due to the range and number of anthropogenic molecules encountered in our daily lives, as well as their complex transformations throughout the body. To broadly characterize how chemical exposures influence human health, a combination of genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, endogenous metabolomic, and xenobiotic measurements must be performed. However, while genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic analyses have rapidly progressed over the last two decades, advancements in instrumentation and computations for nontargeted xenobiotic and endogenous small molecule measurements are still greatly needed.
ASMS 2023 Will Host its Closing Event at the Houston Museum of Natural Science
May 26th 2023ASMS will conclude its conference at the Houston Museum of Natural Science (HMNS) on Thursday June 8th, from 7:00 to 10:00 pm. The HMNS is known for their paleontology display, giving attendees the opportunity to embark on a one-of-a-kind prehistoric journey while socializing with friends and colleagues.
The 2023 ASMS Research, PUI, and Postdoctoral Career Development Awards
April 25th 2023Every year, the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) presents Research Awards, the Research at Primarily Undergraduate Institution (PUI) Award, and Postdoctoral Career Development Awards. This year's winners will be honored at the 2023 ASMS Conference in Houston, Texas, from June 4–8.
