Mass spectrometry is a cornerstone technique across various scientific disciplines, enabling precise analysis of complex samples, characterization of atom clusters and molecules, and elucidation of ...

Mass spectrometry is already a powerful tool for determining what kind and how many molecules are present in a given sample. But most instruments still analyze their molecules one or just a few at a ...

A reengineered mass spectrometer prototype can now analyze up to a billion molecules simultaneously, a leap from conventional instruments that handle only a few at a time. The advance, reported in ...

In Star Trek, Mr. Spock’s hand-held tricorder can instantly tell what something is made of. We don’t have tricorders yet, but we’re getting close. Portable devices just a little too big to hold in one ...

Just how far mass spectrometry—the use of tools measuring the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of one or more molecules present in a sample—has progressed over the past century can be seen in a new exhibit ...

This Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine review examines a central challenge in precision medicine: whether medical ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. ­— Imagine if diagnosis and treatment for devastating conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease could be developed quickly by extensive profiling of protein signatures in human tissues.

Mass spectrometry (MS) has long been a cornerstone of chemical and biological analysis, but in biotech and biomanufacturing, it is now experiencing a renaissance. As drug modalities diversify—peptides ...

Material engineering involves the creation and design of inventive materials, blending principles from chemistry, physics, and engineering. Mass spectrometry emerges as a vital tool in material ...

If you have ever thought, “I wish I could have a mass spectrometer at home,” then we aren’t very surprised you are reading Hackaday. [Thomas Scherrer] somehow acquired a broken Brucker Microflex LT ...

Scientists at The Rockefeller University have built a prototype mass spectrometer that can process over a billion molecules at once, a staggering jump from the handful that conventional instruments ...
