This podcast will discuss the capabilities of modern ultra high resolution accurate mass (HRAM) spectrometry based approaches for comprehensive lipidome identification and quantitative analysis. Examples will be given of how this instrumentation can be used to overcome many of the identification challenges for lipidomics, the advantages of HRAM approaches over traditional triple quadrupole or high resolution based methods, and the biological questions that can be addressed.

Dr. Yoshio Kato, a noted researcher in chromatography, has passed away. Kato was a quiet personality who presented scientific findings in simple, understandable words, and he was a good friend. He passed away at the end of August 2015, at the age of 70.

In this video, Robert T. Kennedy of the University of Michigan discusses how derivatization can improve method sensitivity and speed in a study on chemical in vivo neuromonitoring using liquid chromatography–mass chromatography (LC–MS).

A client asked me recently for a quick but "as optimized as possible" separation for some monoclonal antibody (MAb) characterization (digest) samples using LC-MS. The samples had been prepared and were awaiting analysis-typical forward planning! Actually his internal analytical department had changed their priority and he was left hanging.
