A small sample of human tissue can hold a remarkable amount of information. Researchers can use it to search for molecular ...

A new mass spectrometry assay identifies patient-specific M-protein peptides in plasma without sequencing, showing generally ...

Andrei Fedorov and his team have found a way to take some of the guesswork out of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), ...

Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z). It provides valuable information about the chemical composition, ...

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 ...

The study, published in the Journal of Mass Spectrometry, tested the method in a working U.K. pub and found traces of cocaine ...

Imaging mass spectrometry is a powerful emerging tool for mapping the spatial distribution of biomolecules across tissue surfaces. Here the authors showcase an automated technology for deep proteome ...

Researchers at the Purdue Institute for Cancer Research (PICR) have developed a next-generation technology platform designed to accelerate one of the slowest and most challenging stages of cancer drug ...

Day 1 of the annual meeting of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS; NM, USA) has been jam-packed with press conferences from the biggest names in mass spectrometry, and I have been to ...

A new data-driven technique, called fingerprint mass spectrometry, provides a method for measuring the mass of individual proteins using nanoscale devices. Caltech scientists have developed a method ...

The mass spectrometer is an instrument which can measure the masses and relative concentrations of atoms and molecules. It makes use of the basic magnetic force on a moving charged particle. It ...
