New Alternatives in High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry
This Wednesday afternoon session will be presided over by Gary M Hieftje of Indiana University (Bloomington, Indiana).
Session 1900, Room 308C
This Wednesday afternoon session will be presided over by Gary M Hieftje of Indiana University (Bloomington, Indiana).
The session will begin with introductory remarks by Hieftje and then continue with a presentation from Alan G Marshall of Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida, Marshall’s presentation is titled “Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance: The Mass Spectrometry Zenith”.
A session by Alexander A Makarov of Thermo Fisher Scientific will follow next and will focus on orbitrap mass spectrometry for every laboratory. Following this will be a talk by Robert B Cody of JEOL whose presentation is entitled “Another Lap Around the Racetrack: Multi-Turn Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometers”. Viatcheslav Artaev of Leco will lead the penultimate discussion of the session with a focus on high-resolution TOFMS via a mass analyser.
Steven J Ray of Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, will give the final presentation. Ray’s talk is entitled “Zoom-TOFMS: Examining the Potential of Constant Momentum Acceleration to Achieve High Resolution in Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry”.
Linking LC-HRMS Features to Aquatic Toxicity: A Nontargeted Approach Without Compound Identification
July 7th 2025A recent study conducted by the University of Amsterdam (Amsterdam, Netherlands) and the University of Queensland (Queensland, Australia) developed a novel prioritization strategy that directly links fragmentation and chromatographic data to aquatic toxicity categories, bypassing the need for identification of individual compounds. LCGC International spoke to Viktoriia Turkina of the University of Amsterdam, lead author of the paper that resulted from this study, about their work.
Detection and Risk Assessment of Mycotoxins in Commercial Tortillas Using HPLC-Based Methods
July 4th 2025A joint study between Selçuk University (Konya, Turkey) and Hitit University (Corum, Turkey) determined the natural occurrence and concentrations of the mycotoxins ochratoxin A (OTA) and deoxynivalenol (DON) in commercially available tortillas in Turkey. Contamination levels were quantified using validated analytical methods based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with fluorescence or ultraviolet detectors (HPLC-FLD or HPLC–UV).
