The Role of Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography in Mitigating PFAS in the Environment
Lee Ferguson, a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University, and his group are developing and applying analytical methods to measure organic pollutants in the environment, with a focus on high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) for detecting and quantifying emerging contaminants in wastewater and drinking water. In this video interview, we speak with Ferguson about his laboratory’s work accurately tracing these contaminants in complex environmental matrices.
Is “right first time, every time” a pipedream for metabolite identification by LC-MS?
March 18th 2025The 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.
