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 ...

Electrochemistry coupled with mass spectrometry represents a rapidly evolving analytical approach that merges the control of redox reactions with the superior sensitivity and structural elucidation ...

Just how far mass spectrometry—the use of tools measuring the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of one or more molecules present in a sample—has progressed over the past century can be seen in a new exhibit ...

Material engineering involves the creation and design of inventive materials, blending principles from chemistry, physics, and engineering. Mass spectrometry emerges as a vital tool in material ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. ­— Imagine if diagnosis and treatment for devastating conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease could be developed quickly by extensive profiling of protein signatures in human tissues.

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 ...

To identify specific chemicals or molecules in the life sciences and medical research, scientists often use mass spectrometry (MS), usually paired with liquid chromatography (LC). These technologies ...

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a precise analytical technique that involves ionizing, identifying, and detecting ions. The process begins with sample ionization and proceeds to ion characterization based ...

MX908 is a multi-mission handheld mass spectrometer for real-time chemical detection and identification, utilized by elite responders conducting chemical, explosive, priority drug and HazMat ...

UA chemistry and biochemistry researchers are giddy about a big new machine. The university will buy a new mass spectrometer this year, thanks to a $924,995 grant from the National Institutes of ...
