In mass spectrometry, a sample is analyzed to determine its molecular composition through the generation of a spectrum that reveals the masses of its component parts. A transfer line introduces the ...

Here, the RADIAN ASAP System was utilized for the fast analysis of lubricant oil, with little sample preparation needed and the deployment of a thermal gradient to help deconvolute the complex sample.

Effective protein characterization depends on the precise isolation and fragmentation of peptide ions within the mass spectrometer, typically coupled with liquid chromatography (LC-MS/MS). In a ...

What is time-of-flight mass spectrometry? How ToF MS has gained more interest since the commercialization of MALDI. Why a high-speed ADC is key to ToF MS performance. Mixed-signal front end that ...

Mass spectrometry is a powerful analytical method used to identify and characterize molecules. People often mistakenly think that the data outputted by the technique come in the form of a mass ...

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 ...
