Application of Mass Spectrometry to Support Verification and Characterization of Counterfeit Pharmaceuticals
The production and sale of counterfeit drugs has risen sharply in recent years. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that counterfeit medicines account for approximately 1% of sales in developed countries and well over 10% in developing countries. MORE »
A New Outlook on Soft Ionization for GC–MS
Despite the advantages of soft ionization ion-source technologies for improving confidence in the identification of a range of challenging analytes, soft ionization remains a niche technique for gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). MORE »

An Enhanced Immunoaffinity Enrichment Method for Mass Spectrometry–Based Translational Proteomics
Translational proteomics has not been as successful as originally anticipated. Because mass spectrometry (MS) can separate proteins at the sequence level, it provides the selectivity needed for this application; however, traditional challenges still exist, including time-to-result, throughput, and sample-size requirements.

Comparison of Edible Oils by GCxGC–TOF-MS and GC–High Resolution TOF-MS for Determination of Food Fraud: A "Foodomics" Approach
Here, a method to characterize edible oils and edible oil mixtures through fingerprinting and the isolation of individual analyte differences is reported. Aroma and flavor analytes in extra virgin olive, olive, peanut, grapeseed, and vegetable oils were sampled with headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME). MORE »
Application Note
Information Rich Flash Chromatography I: Mass Directed Fractionation
Jack Silver, Teledyne ISCO
Mass spectrometers have long been used for detection and collection when coupled with liquid chromatography. Nearly universal detection of compounds is achieved when MS is combined with UV detection. MORE »
