April 24th 2023Carol V. Robinson of the University of Oxford has been named the 2023 recipient of the ASMS John B. Fenn Award for Distinguished Contribution in Mass Spectrometry. Robinson will receive the award at the 2023 ASMS Conference in Houston, Texas, which takes place June 4–8.
New Ultrasonic Spray Ionization Method Improves Mass Spectrometry Analysis
April 21st 2023A new method was recently developed that has the potential to revolutionize the use of piezoelectric atomizers in MS analysis, and ultimately provide a more efficient and superior soft ionization approach for the direct analysis of a variety of samples, including aqueous solutions.
New Method Developed to Detect N-Nitrosamines in Pharmaceuticals
April 19th 2023Sartans are important drugs that help treat hypertension and heart failure. However, since their recall in 2018 because of the presence of genotoxic impurities in these drugs, researchers are tackling the question of how to detect these impurities in these drugs before they go to market. This article describes a HPLC–APCI-MS/MS method that can help in this endeavor.
Metabolomics Data Encoded into Images for AI-Based Clinical Diagnosis
April 14th 2023A new approach developed by researchers called MetImage can help decode liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS)-based untargeted metabolomics data into multichannel digital images, which is a new approach for using whole metabolome profiles for AI-based clinical applications.
Effective Detection of Antibiotic Residues in Environmental Matrices Using Nanosorbents
April 14th 2023The development of antibiotics needs to constantly be evolving to counter bacterial resistance that can develop against these medications. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) can be used to combat this challenge.
Researchers Develop Technique to Generate Beams of Single Mass-Selected Charged Ice Particles
April 12th 2023The study demonstrated the correspondence between particle mass and specific quadrupole potentials in this device. This allows for the preparation of charged ice particle beams with selected narrow mass and kinetic energy distributions.
