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.
