Automated Sample Preparation Workflows for Quantitative Proteomics Applications
Mass spectrometry based proteomics requires large scale identification of peptides, and depends upon efficient sample preparation. Recently, we presented two automated protein-digestion setups, in-solution and in-gel digestion. We extended these techniques by implementing dimethyl labelling (DML). Furthermore, we established an automated phospho-peptide (PP) enrichment procedure in a 96-well formate, generating phospho-proteomic data in very short time.

Performance Characteristics of a Comprehensive GCxGC-High Resolution TOFMS System Utilizing Chemical Ionization
Combining comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) with a High Resolution Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer and Chemical Ionization is a powerful tool for compound identification. Performance of the LECO Pegasus GC-HRT 4D using Chemical Ionization (CI) was demonstrated using Benzophenone and Diesel. GC×GC separation results in narrow peaks, therefore, a high speed detection system is necessary.

A Microfluidic Device for Detection of Water Contamination from Hydraulic Fracturing
A paper-based microfluidic device was designed and optimized for the colorimetric detection of bromide in water. This work was developed in response to the waste management challenges and pollution risks of hydraulic fracturing wastewater. This device is suitable for distribution as a field test as it is portable, easy to use, inexpensive and can be packaged to extend shelf life.
