6. Non-Targeted and Targeted Analysis of Anionic Metabolites using Ion Chromatography and High-Resolution Accurate Mass Spectrometry

Metabolomics provides an insight into cellular processes and is increasingly being used to identify biomarkers in cancer research. The analysis of these small, polar metabolites can be challenging as many are isobaric and require separation before detection. In this webinar, Terri Christison and Dr. Junhua Wang, of Thermo Fisher Scientific, discuss how ion chromatography, coupled with high resolution accurate mass spectrometry (IC-HR/AM), provides superior chromatographic resolution and sensitivity to address the analytical challenges needed to differentiate isobaric metabolites.

Ion ChromatographyIon chromatography, also known as ion exchange chromatography, is a high-performance liquid chromatographic technique used for the separation and identification of ions or polar molecules in a sample, including proteins, nucleotides and amino acids. Equipment includes ion exchange columns, ion exclusion columns, ion chromatography systems, pumps, and detectors. Find the best ion chromatography equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
