Mass spectrometry has emerged as an indispensable tool for the structural elucidation of oligosaccharides, offering unrivalled sensitivity and precision in the analysis of complex carbohydrate ...

In neuroinflammation, immune cells such as leukocytes cross the blood-brain barrier. One key to this is the gelatinases matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9. Until now, the substrates of these ...

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s Cifani lab has developed a new mass spectrometry technique that pushes the performance of ...

Weight says a lot. In the kitchen, it could mean cooking with too little or too much of an ingredient. For scientists, a ...

Mass spectrometry is a laboratory technique which identifies the precise weight of a component in a sample. Metabolomics focuses on measuring the metabolites, the substances made when the body breaks ...

MALDI remains a powerful tool for analyzing large biomolecules with minimal fragmentation. In this process, peptides or proteins are co-crystallized with a matrix on a metal plate. A laser pulse ...

How does Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometry Work? Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometry (MIMS) relies on the principles of mass spectrometry and the selective permeability of membranes that allow the passage ...

Researchers 3D printed a miniature ionizer, a key component of a mass spectrometer. Their device could someday enable an affordable, in-home mass spectrometer for health monitoring. Mass spectrometry, ...

Li-ion batteries are critical in energy storage, but their increasing energy density has led to worries about their safety.
