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, ...

What is mass spectrometry? Mass spectrometry, or MS, is the measurement of molecular mass that is gained by determining the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of ions generated from the target molecule. 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 ...

Can you explain how you found your source of innovation and what factors influenced your desire to stay in the workplace even after retiring? I attribute that to New England Biolabs (NEB), as an ...

Brain surgeons fighting glioma face one of the most unforgiving challenges in medicine: the tumor does not sit still. Unlike ...

The peptide research market has a verification problem. Independent testing studies have repeatedly found that peptide vials sold as research-grade frequently fail to meet their labeled purity claims.

Glioma brain tumors are diffuse, so surgeons usually cannot excise all of the cancer during surgery. Currently, surgeons ...

Two years ago, Thermo Fisher Scientific introduced the Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Astral MS, and it’s already been used in more than 320 research articles. “That’s incredible adoption,” says Aaron ...

I have completed a master's degree in a science-related graduate school and work as a researcher at a manufacturing company.

As mass spectrometry technologies become more powerful, laboratories face a growing challenge: how to make advanced analytical capabilities accessible to a broader range of users while simultaneously ...
