Advances in ICP-MS Speciation of Selenium in Proteins
Selenoproteins play an important role in human physiology and health, and as a result, sensitive methods are needed for their analysis. Joanna Szpunar of the National Research Council of France has been working with bioinorganic speciation analysis and hyphenated techniques for metallomics studies for some time. She recently spoke to Spectroscopy about using laser-ablation inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to detect trace levels of human selenoproteins in cell extracts and about her work with ICP-MS-assisted electrospray tandem MS for the identification of selenium-containing proteins in rice grown on seleniferous soils. |

On-Demand Webcast: Demystifying Interference Removal
Accurate and precise analysis is key to ensuring data quality and confidence in results. Interferences that normally arise can affect both accuracy and precision. During this web seminar, we will discuss interferences in ICP-OES and ICP-MS, focusing on potential sources of interference and their identification and removal by hardware or software techniques

Jorg Feldman Wins 2015 European Award for Plasma Spectrochemistry
The 2015 European Award for Plasma Spectrochemistry was awarded to Jorg Feldman of the University of Aberdeen (Aberdeen, Scotland) at the European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry in Münster in February. The prize promotes analytical plasma spectrochemical developments and applications in Europe, and is awarded for a single outstanding piece of work, or for continued important contributions in the field. |
New FluoroMax Plus expands capabilities of the FluoroMax series. The PLUS adds the option of a second detector and a 2-position grating turret. Additional NIR detector extends the FluoroMax emission range to 1650 nanometers. Computer controlled turret selects grating optimized for the NIR. Our proprietary PPD detectors can measure TCSPC lifetimes as short as 25 ps. Higher sensitivity means faster measurement of weaker and smaller samples.
