Targeted quantitation workflows, used to screen against a predefined
list of known analytes and accurately determine how much is present,
play an essential role in safeguarding public health and prote...
Targeted screening and quantitation workflows based on gas or liquid
chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS or LC-MS) play a
central role in the daily activities of analytical laboratori...
Screening for drugs of abuse is an essential role of the forensic
toxicology laboratory. The methods used for these routine tests must be
sufficiently sensitive to selectively detect the analytes of i...
In the early 1970s, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was
first introduced as a diagnostic technique for human urine metabolic
profiling. Since 2000, publications utilizing GC-MS in metabol...
Who uses a taxi anymore? Boy, was I surprised when I heard these
ridesharing apps are not used by everyone these days. Recently, I
successfully transitioned a good friend from a taxi service to a

Recently, I was in the market to upgrade my smartphone. Given I'm not
super tech savvy, figuring out if I should upgrade to a new phone versus
buying a refurbished smartphone initially seemed like a d...
With today’s increasing demand for resources and a clear trend toward
fossil-fuel free, sustainable energy, the world is looking for
alternatives. An emerging modern technique that could change the wa...
As a mass spectrometrist myself, it comes as no surprise that I’m a huge
fan of Alexander Makarov. You can imagine my delight upon getting the
opportunity to work with Alexander to capture the story b...
Dr. Anton Kaufmann, a lab director at the Kantonales Labor in Zurich,
Switzerland, started with a single stage Exactive Orbitrap mass
spectrometer back in 2009, which is still in use. Anton was able t...
The 2017 ASMS storm has passed, the dust has settled and the a leading
technology in protein analysis and biopharma characterization has
emerged. In my opinion, the novel Thermo Scientific Q Exactive ...
Dr. Krzysztof Goryński, an explorer of Orbitrap technology in clinical
research analysis, is an Assistant Professor at the Department of
Pharmacology and Pharmacodynamics in Nicolaus Copernicus Univer...
Dr. Bertrand Rochat is convinced of quantitative Orbitrap HRAM mass
spectrometer for clinical research and targeted and non-targeted
metabolomics. He has been on the front line of the absolute
quantif...
How did you get involved in science?In school, I was fascinated by the
fact that no matter how much you learned about chemistry, there was
always so much more to learn. You´ll never get bored! Growing...
