Expert insights

In this webinar (the second in a series of four), we answer the frequently asked question: “How can I adopt direct mass spectrometry in my routine analysis workflow?” By combining direct mass spec – in the form of selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) – with conventional laboratory automation, most routine analysis techniques are readily applied. Examples include use of sequence tables, full calibration approaches (including QCCs), and use of standard additions.

Join the second of four webinars, on Tuesday, October 6, to hear from Dr. Mark Perkins, Senior Applications Chemist at Anatune Limited, and Dr. Vaughan Langford, Principle Scientist at Syft Technologies, as they discuss the adaptation of these routine techniques to automated SIFT-MS is illustrated with case studies applicable to environmental, consumer product, and biomedical laboratory testing. In particular, head-to-head comparison of GC/MS and SIFT-MS for headspace analysis of volatiles in blood plasma will be described.

Note: Method validation approaches are the focus of the third webinar in this series.

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. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis. Find the best GC-MS instruments and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.
