The EAS Young Investigator Award was presented to Kerri Pratt at the Eastern Analytical Symposium (EAS), in Princeton, New Jersey, USA, on 12 November. Pratt is the Seyhan N. Ege assistant professor of the Department of Chemistry and Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. Pratt’s analytical and environmental chemistry research focuses on the application of novel mass spectrometry methods to the study of the chemical interactions of atmospheric trace gases, particles, clouds, and snow to improve understanding and prediction of air quality and climate change. Using a chemical ionization mass spectrometer, she has made significant advances in understanding Arctic snowpack photochemical reactions that result in the production of molecular halogen trace gases at sub-ppt to ppt levels.
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.
