Mass Spectrometry

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.

This month we interview Raviraj Chandrakant Shinde from India, about his work on the analysis of various food contaminants using chromatography and mass spectrometry, and the challenges involved in analyzing polar and ionic pesticides.

This review article summarizes the results obtained from the combined efforts of a joint academic and industrial initiative to solve the real-life challenge of determining low levels of peptide-related impurities in the presence of the related biologically-active peptide at a high concentration.

In this extended special feature to celebrate the 35th anniversary edition of LCGC Europe, key opinion leaders from the separation science community explore contemporary trends in separation science and identify possible future developments.

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.

Sample preparation and analysis of pharmaceuticals in wastewater present unique challenges. Here, we describe those challenges.

The recruitment of young, talented entrepreneurs within academia and industry is needed to tackle many of the challenges that exist today and that will emerge tomorrow.
