Tandem mass spectrometry is a powerful tool in proteomics. By ionizing peptides and then fragmenting those ions into smaller product ions, researchers can determine the biomolecules’ amino acid ...

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 ...

MALDI In-Source Decay (ISD) Mass Spectrometry has emerged as a powerful technique for the rapid characterisation of peptides. By utilising matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation, the method ...

All mass spec vendors continue to innovate with technical enhancements to their existing products and introduce new products continuously. The demand from customers tends to be for more performance, ...

Sensitivity is a fundamental performance characteristic of a mass spectrometer. Increasingly higher sensitivities are in constant demand in order to characterize and quantify analytes that are at an ...

“Better, faster, stronger” is the mantra that has defined the last 15 years of the omics era. The rise of next-generation sequencing in microbial genomics is a perfect example. Progressive gains in ...

An algorithm designed by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University's Computational Biology Department and St. Petersburg State University in Russia could help scientists identify unknown molecules.
