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 ...

In this Teach Me in 10, Dr. Amanda Lee, Product Marketing Manager at Thermo Fisher Scientific, explains how optimizing mass ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
