Early Forensics and Crime-Solving Chemists

Why don’t we have baby formula that’s just as good as breast milk? Sam at ACS Reactions chats with chemist Dr Steven Townsend, who’s trying to figure out which sugar molecules in breast milk make it so unique and difficult to recreate in the lab.

For scientists whose research requires high-precision isotope ratio data in fields of cosmo- and geochemistry, geochronology and biology, nuclear safeguards, forensics, metalomics, and provenance studies, we have created a new multicollector ICP-MS. Designed and developed in Bremen, building on the strengths of our multi-collector platform with field-proven technologies such as RPQ, 10^13 ohm Amplifier Technology and Jet Interface.

ACS Reactions catch up with experts they talked to at the start of the pandemic and ask, "what do we know now that we didn’t back then?"
