Mass spectrometry is a cornerstone technique across various scientific disciplines, enabling precise analysis of complex samples, characterization of atom clusters and molecules, and elucidation of ...

Mass spectrometry is already a powerful tool for determining what kind and how many molecules are present in a given sample. But most instruments still analyze their molecules one or just a few at a ...

A new prototype could supercharge mass spectrometry by analyzing thousands of molecules at once instead of one by one. The breakthrough boosts sensitivity enough to reveal rare, hidden ...

Just how far mass spectrometry—the use of tools measuring the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of one or more molecules present in a sample—has progressed over the past century can be seen in a new exhibit ...

Mass spectrometry is already a powerful tool for determining what kind and how many molecules are present in a given sample. But most instruments still analyze their molecules one or just a few at a ...

Researchers 3D printed a mini quadrupole mass filter, a key component of a mass spectrometer, that performs as well as some commercial-grade devices. It can be fabricated in hours for a few dollars ...

Scientists at The Rockefeller University have built a prototype mass spectrometer that can process over a billion molecules at once, a staggering jump from the handful that conventional instruments ...
