Mass spectrometry (MS) is already perhaps the most popular analytical chemistry tool in drug discovery and development. Its use is ubiquitous in bioanalytical laboratories for drug and metabolite ...

Accion Systems uses electrospray ion drive propulsion. The thrust-producing ions are supplied from their ionic liquid propellant — a safe, non-toxic liquid salt. This novel source of ions allows us to ...

Adding the equivalent of a miniature tornado to the interface between electrospray ionization (ESI) and a mass spectrometer (MS) has allowed researchers to improve the sensitivity and detection ...

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) has emerged as a pivotal analytical tool for elucidating catalytic pathways at the molecular level. By gently transferring ionic species from ...

Desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) is an emerging analytical tool for rapid in situ assessment of metabolomic profiles on tissue sections without tissue pretreatment or ...

Researchers demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The low-cost device can be fabricated more quickly than traditional thrusters, potentially from on board a ...

MIT engineers have demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The device, which would be ideal for enabling small satellites to make in-orbit maneuvers, can be ...

Current drug discovery workflows rely on the synthesis and bioactivity assessment of large compound libraries, both processes which heavily depend on high-throughput (HT) experimentation to be able to ...

What are the ionization techniques for mass spectrometry? Mass spectrometry (MS) plays a vital role in many aspects of our lives, from diagnosing illness and detecting food contaminants to fighting ...

To achieve the best results, using the right ionization method is essential. There are three main atmospheric pressure ionization (API) techniques that differ in their application concerning compound ...

Notes on good choices for MS techniques: Most service requests to an MS Lab are for “determining the molecular weight”. Most modern techniques ionize compounds by chemical reactions and the results ...
