Digging deep into the human biome, Professor Yoshiya Oda of the Graduate School of Medicine at the University of Tokyo looks to ion mobility technology to uncover deposits of insight It’s an established fact that the more people age, the more they tend to engage with health care providers than they did when they were…

How to improve analytical method transfers for biotherapeutics

“Assuming continuous improvement is a worthy goal, there is every reason to improve validated chromatographic methods if you’re working with the right instrument technology,” says Eric Grumbach of Waters. See what that means for developing and transferring methods for biologic drugs.

Setting a New Standard for Reserved-Phase Separations of Monoclonal Antibodies and Antibody Drug Conjugates

A new approach to stationary phase chemistry for reversed-phase LC analysis of proteins, including monoclonal antibodies and antibody drug conjugates, delivers higher fidelity data especially for MS-based peak identification.

How Do Food Safety Laboratories Test for Acrylamide?

Q&A time: What is acrylamide? How dangerous is it? How do food testing laboratories detect it?

A Virus Gives Up One of Its Long-Held Secrets to Researchers at the National University of Singapore

Eradicating all the mosquitoes that may cause Dengue fever isn’t a realistic solution. Instead, researchers at the NUS are using advanced analytical technologies to understand what causes the virus to incubate and spread – and thus, to find a way to stop it.

How Water Treatment Plants Protect Fish from Disruptive Synthetic Hormones

Waters partnered with Scottish Waters to develop and validate an analytical method for the analysis of synthetic estrogens – which can appear in fish – in surface water, crude influent, and final effluent from a waste water treatment plant using 2D LC-MS/MS.

Listening to Underground Music at Washington State University

Dr. Weller is Research Leader of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Services Wheat Health, Genetics and Quality Research Unit at Washington State University (WSU). His specialty is plant pathology, and the cutting-edge research that his research unit conducts, now with ion mobility mass spectrometry, solves problems affecting the production of small grains, wheat, and barley.

Infographic: It’s the Gold Standard for Quantitative Measurements

Not that long ago they were as big as a car and cost so much that only the most well-funded research institutions were able to afford them, along with the scientists that knew how to run them.

A CRO Leads the Way for Biotherapeutics Amid its Own ‘Field of Dreams’

“If You Build it, He Will Come” Urged on by a voice no one else could hear, Ray Kinsella, played by Kevin Costner in the movie Field of Dreams, cleared a few acres of corn to build a baseball field. Shortly after, magical things began to happen. When you first set eyes on the headquarters…

Detecting Bisphenol A (BPA) in Infant Products with Mass Spec

Developing a Rapid, Routine Method for Extraction and Quantification in Complex Infant Products with UPLC/MS-MS Bisphenol A (BPA) is an additive that is primarily used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. These synthetic materials are widely used in packaging to protect the safety and integrity of foods and beverages. Polycarbonates are used…

Mass Spectrometry Makes Cents for UC San Diego Clinical Laboratory

“Fast is fine; but accuracy is everything.” The quote is attributed to the famous Wyatt Earp, a sharpshooter and lawman who, with help from his two brothers, sent three outlaws to their graves in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona in 1881. One hundred and twenty five years later, Dr. Rob Fitzgerald…
