The ability to measure mass to charge ratio of the ions in mass spectrum is the most important feature of the high-resolution mass spectrometers. An analyte's identification can be progressed further ...

Effective protein characterization depends on the precise isolation and fragmentation of peptide ions within the mass spectrometer, typically coupled with liquid chromatography (LC-MS/MS). In a ...

Material engineering involves the creation and design of inventive materials, blending principles from chemistry, physics, and engineering. Mass spectrometry emerges as a vital tool in material ...
