Mass spectrometry is already a powerful tool for determining what kind and how many molecules are present in a given sample. But most instruments still analyze their molecules one or just a few at a ...

Mass spectrometry is a powerful analytical method used to identify and characterize molecules. People often mistakenly think that the data outputted by the technique come in the form of a mass ...

A new prototype could supercharge mass spectrometry by analyzing thousands of molecules at once instead of one by one. The breakthrough boosts sensitivity enough to reveal rare, hidden ...

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 ...

Day 1 of the annual meeting of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS; NM, USA) has been jam-packed with press conferences from the biggest names in mass spectrometry, and I have been to ...
