The EMS2010 meeting is an environmental mass spectrometry special interest group (EMSSIG) series event forming a part of the British Mass Spectrometry Society SIG meetings and is scheduled for 24 March 2010. The main theme will focus on Recent Advances in the Methodology for Environmental and Food Matrix Analysis.
The meeting will be linked with the Food and Nutrition SIG coordinated by Dr Simon Hird and will also form part of a conference week, 22–26 March 2010, of three meetings organized by Professor Chris Smith, which will also highlight nanotechnology and food as well as food science and technology.
The provisional scientific programme is reaching an advanced stage but there are still several vacancies for oral presentations for both the environmental and food and nutrition sessions. Current topics include MS Techniques for environmental analysis: a view from a commercial analytical laboratory, Allergen detection, quantitation and confirmation in Nuts, Cereals, Milk etc by LC–MS–MS and ,i>Limitations of mass spectrometry for determining the mass range of polydisperse samples (such as coal liquids and petroleum asphaltenes).

The Next Frontier for Mass Spectrometry: Maximizing Ion Utilization
January 20th 2025In this podcast, Daniel DeBord, CTO of MOBILion Systems, describes a new high resolution mass spectrometry approach that promises to increase speed and sensitivity in omics applications. MOBILion recently introduced the PAMAF mode of operation, which stands for parallel accumulation with mobility aligned fragmentation. It substantially increases the fraction of ions used for mass spectrometry analysis by replacing the functionality of the quadrupole with high resolution ion mobility. Listen to learn more about this exciting new development.
Using Chromatography to Explore Fluorescent Bioactive Compounds in the Coelomic Fluid of Earthworms
February 6th 2025A study aiming to identify fluorescent bioactive compounds in the coelomic fluid of earthworms, as well as to investigate their structural and functional characteristics for possible use in biomedical applications, utilized a variety of chromatographic techniques.
The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
