CE-MS and Coronary Artery Disease Diagnosis
Researchers from Germany, Belgium, the UK, and Australia conducted a study of urine from patients with and without coronary artery disease to look for proteome patterns indicative of the disease.
Researchers from Germany, Belgium, the UK, and Australia conducted a study of urine from patients with and without coronary artery disease to look for proteome patterns indicative of the disease. They used capillary electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry (CE–MS) to analyze the urine samples. They examined a combination of 17 polypeptides and found specific polypeptide patterns in the urine that were associated with coronary artery disease in patients with angina. They suggest that further studies are necessary to evaluate the clinical value of the CE–MS urine proteome analysis for diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
A Novel LC–QTOF-MS DIA Method for Pesticide Quantification and Screening in Agricultural Waters
May 8th 2025Scientists from the University of Santiago de Compostela developed a liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC–QTOF-MS) operated in data-independent acquisition (DIA) mode for pesticide quantification in agriculturally impacted waters.
Investigating 3D-Printable Stationary Phases in Liquid Chromatography
May 7th 20253D printing technology has potential in chromatography, but a major challenge is developing materials with both high porosity and robust mechanical properties. Recently, scientists compared the separation performances of eight different 3D printable stationary phases.
