Mass Spectrometry

Glyphosate and AMPA are two potentially dangerous chemicals within herbicides. Using LC–MS to detect these chemicals is important to human and environmental health.

Using LC–MS, scientists have developed a new method for testing doping steroids in blood.

A 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.

The American Society for Mass Spectrometry will recognize twenty graduate students and ten undergraduate students for their academic achievements and mass spectrometry research.

The Al Yergey Mass Spectrometry Award, which recognizes scientists who make great contributions to mass spectrometry–based science, will be given to three "unsung heroes" this year.
