Unlock the benefits of nominal mass spectrometry for NPS analysis

The development of analytical methods for the detection and quantitation of drugs and metabolites in a range of biological matrices is a challenging process. Forensic toxicology labs need a reproducible and reliable methodology to ensure the robustness of the data and the quality of the results. They also need robust and sensitive instrumentation that can detect drugs at trace levels with high specificity, especially when it comes to novel psychoactive substances (NPS), which can be difficult to monitor and control.

I have a turbo v ion source that shows a glowing blue/purple light at the tip of the Heated Nebulizer corona discharge needle, even when it is not in use and turned out of ion path as it should be when using TIS probe. It only happens in negative mode. It is not arcing to the cutain plate, just a slight noticeable glow at the tip of the corona needle when observed through the front window. My FSE has rebuilt the HN probe and components and also installed a new TIS probe. Still glows when in negative mode. Note also having poor sensitivity in negative mode as well and jagged peak shapes during infusion. Any ideas? Are the symptoms related?

Using Scheduled Ionization to reduce system ion load for proteomics data acquisition

Using Scheduled Ionization to reduce system ion load for proteomics data acquisition

When analyzing highly complex samples from biological matrices, there can be significant amounts of material that elute in the wash cycle of the LC run, depending on the up-front sample preparation used.  The Scheduled Ionization mode, available in both SCIEX OS...

Standard addition workflow – for quantification and calculating background levels

The method of standard addition is a quantitative analysis approach used in situations where matrix effects from complex samples contributes to the analytical signal. This makes it impossible to compare the analytical signal between sample and standard using a...

A rising star in food allergen research: proteomics of shellfish allergen

A rising star in food allergen research: proteomics of shellfish allergen

It’s important to know what you’re eating, especially if you suffer from a food allergy.

About 220 million people worldwide live with a food allergy.1 These numbers, along with the complexity and severity of conditions, continue to rise. In America, there are about 32 million food allergy sufferers—5.6 million of those are children under the age of 18.2.2 That’s 1 out of every 13 children, or about 2 in every classroom. From a financial perspective, the cost of food allergy childcare for US families is up to $25 billion
