LC-MS – News and Features

Biopharmaceuticals require careful analysis during research, development and manufacturing. In this article, we highlight some of the analytical techniques employed in biopharmaceutical analysis, and how the field is evolving to meet new challenges.

Researchers have shown that high concentrations of key proteins in human breast milk are associated with a greater abundance of two species of bacteria in the gut of babies known to be beneficial for human health.

This article will discuss current issues in food authenticity, the potential safety implications and the techniques proving pivotal in detecting and preventing fraudulent products from reaching consumers.

Proteomics methods are now applied across a variety of scientific disciplines. In this article, we explore just some of the recent trends and advancements in high-throughput and single-cell proteomics.

Using analytical techniques, researchers analyzed balm residues found in two canopic jars from mummification equipment to recreate one of the scents used in the mummification of an important Egyptian woman more than 3500 years ago.

A new test can monitor the levels of common antipsychotic drugs in the sweat from patients’ fingerprints, offering a quicker, more comfortable and convenient alternative to blood tests.

HPLC system manufacturers have been striving to improve usability, accessibility and help users improve their experimental outcomes. And what better way to do that than to involve the users themselves in that development process.

At this year’s American Chemical Society fall meeting, researchers from Professor Graham Peaslee’s laboratory at the University of Notre Dame present new evidence that some menstrual products contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS. Based on the high concentrations of fluorine in some products, the researchers suggest their use is intentional by manufacturers.

A new analysis of spacecraft cabin dust has revealed the presence of numerous potentially dangerous airborne chemical contaminants. This could have implications for future spacecraft design, with some materials being avoided to reduce exposure risk.

At this year’s ASMS, Technology Networks spoke with Steve Smith, vice president of discovery and development at Waters Corporation, to learn more about the company’s latest innovative product launches.
