Mass Spectrometry

Some traditional MAM workflows are being substituted with iMAM workflows that rely on analyzing the intact mass of mAbs in their native form, resulting in significant improvements in high-throughput sample analysis.

A novel LC–MS/MS method, with a dual ESI and APCI source using simple solvent extraction for sample preparation, was validated for analysis of 102 pesticides and 5 mycotoxins regulated by Colorado state in dried hemp.

The monitoring of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) into food is an important environmental and health concern. Raquel Sendón García, PhD, is a Faculty Member in the Department of Analytical Chemistry of Nutrition and Food Science, and a Faculty of Pharmacy member at the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. She has been performing research on food contamination and the presence of potentially harmful chemicals in foods for some time. We recently spoke to her about her work using GC–MS and other analytical techniques to analyze PFAS migration into food from packaging materials.

How to lower the limits of quantitation as the regulatory landscape continues to evolve.

Non-targeted analysis of small molecules with ambient ionization mass spectrometry (AI-MS) is enabled by new mass spectral libraries and algorithms, such as the inverted library search algorithm (ILSA) developed at NIST.

Are generic workflows really needed in environmental analysis? In the end, it is the analyst— not instrumentation or software—that is in charge of what data are obtained, after thoughtfully considering what sample preparation and acquisition method to use.

Gene therapy vectors in the gigadalton (GDa) regime are beyond the range of conventional mass spectrometry. Charge-detection MS overcomes this limitation.

Extracting thousands of metabolomics features from LC–MS–based metabolomics data is not easy. A new suite of free bioinformatics tools helps address these metabolic peak-picking challenges and thus obtain more accurate biological information.

In this study, the experimental nontargeted screening approach and corresponding data analysis workflows—simultaneously using molecular ion information and structural information—are presented for the molecular identification and authenticity verification process from a brand perfume using GC–ecTOF-MS.

An overview of modern approaches to small-molecule drug discovery.

Better sample preparation and miniaturized separations are enhancing these analyses.
