This podcast will discuss the capabilities of modern ultra high resolution accurate mass (HRAM) spectrometry based approaches for comprehensive lipidome identification and quantitative analysis. Examples will be given of how this instrumentation can be used to overcome many of the identification challenges for lipidomics, the advantages of HRAM approaches over traditional triple quadrupole or high resolution based methods, and the biological questions that can be addressed.
Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) coupled with headspace solid-phase microextraction )HS-SPME) links cocoa variety to chocolate aroma and flavor profiles.
Kirstine Nielsen of Aarhus University (Denmark) discusses how targeted metabolomics ratios helped build a robust bloodstain time-since-deposition tool.
Gérard Hopfgartner explains how atmospheric pressure photoionization can generate radical cations in LC–MS, unlocking EI-style spectra and NIST's spectral library.
LCGC International spoke to Akina Nara of Japan’s Tohoku Medical and Pharmaceutical University about a new study which links a blood compound to how long a body has been dead.
