Amrita Cheema, PhD, associate professor and codirector of the Proteomics and Metabolomics Shared Resource at Georgetown University Medical Center, talks to contributing editor Tanuja Koppal, PhD, about the growing use of mass spectrometry as a tool for detecting biomarkers for early prediction and diagnosis of disease, leading to personalized therapy. She highlights that improvements in software
and hardware have led to better resolution and specificity, which in turn have increased the use of this technology for biomarker discovery and will potentially help pave its path into the clinic as a diagnostic tool.

Automated solution unlocks the power of clinical data and accelerates LC-MS/MS workflows.

Study to form part of a “Science behind the World Cup” special feature.

New research reveals how the algae behind red tide thoroughly disables – but doesn’t kill – other species of algae. The study shows how chemical signaling between algae can trigger big changes in the marine ecosystem.

This application note aim to show that elemental mapping and small spot analysis create new dimensions of investigation in process control, research and development, even at low power with the Thermo Scientific™ ARL™ PERFORM’X WDXRF analyzer 1500 Watt.

According to a report from Persistence Market Research, Mass Spectrometry Technologies Market Assessment Report—Global Size, Share, Competitive Landscape, Future Prospects and Forecast from 2013-2017, mass spectrometry (MS) is one of the few instrumentation markets that has recovered fully from the last recession.

Team developing LC/MS methods, bioinformatics tools for discovery of metabolic regulatory mechanisms.

Anasys Instruments Corp. has licensed a Department of Energy Oak Ridge National Laboratory technology that allows for simultaneous chemical and physical characterization and could lead to advances in materials and drug development.

Bruker has released an application note detailing a simple and convenient method for the quantification of trace pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) in clean water, using Bruker’s EVOQ triple quadrupole liquid chromatography mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS).

Nanotechnology is advancing tools likened to Star Trek's "tricorder" that perform on-the-spot chemical analysis for a range of applications including medical testing, explosives detection and food safety.

Proof-of-concept study could soon allow analysis of early earth chemistry on meteorites and other rocks.
