The dream state
If we lived in an ideal world, it would be possible to unambiguously identify metabolites using a single analytical experiment. This analytical technique would need to be efficient and easily generate the information needed from a routine assay that is also robust, enabling confident decision-making during drug discovery.
At SCIEX, we believe that metabolite identification using the ZenoTOF 7600 system gets close to this dream state.
Liquid chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–IMS–HRMS) shows elephant seal pups carry more PFAS than their mothers do.
This week's Chromatography Online highlights include olive waste antioxidant recovery, food and tea analysis, EV isolation, mRNA vaccine purification, perfusion chromatography for oligonucleotides, mass spectrometry in teaching and career advice from “Women in Chromatography.”
Kinjal Bhatt and Ina Varfaj call AI a chromatography equalizer only if training and access keep pace, framing the risk as implementation, not technology.
Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) reveal lasting brain cholesterol loss after myelin damage.
Kinjal Bhatt would expose early-career scientists to the field sooner, while Ina Varfaj says a broken chromatography column taught her failure is normal.
