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 ...

Master the principles of MS/MS in proteomics to improve peptide sequencing accuracy. This guide covers fragmentation methods, ...

Ions are accumulated in the Zeno trap before being pulsed rapidly into the TOF, meaning up to 20x more fragment ions can be detected. Enabled by a new level of sensitivity, each MS/MS experiment ...

In mass spectrometry (MS), workflows are being streamlined and analyses are becoming more sophisticated. In short, MS is becoming faster, easier to use, and more functional. This is welcome news for ...

“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 ...

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 ...

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.

The analytical workflow begins with the separation of the complex protein mixture, often utilizing liquid chromatography (LC) or capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled directly to the MS system.
