A mass spectrometer is a complicated and expensive piece of equipment -- so complicated and so expensive, in fact, that most undergraduate chemistry students never get a chance to use one. Now ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge and GlitterinTech, a startup founded by the same research group, have unveiled a ...

At $1 million, many schools cannot afford the latest spectrometry equipment to help students conduct experiments such as determining the composition of a polymer, detecting the presence of cocaine in ...

A spectrometer is a pretty common lab instrument, useful for determining the absorbance of a sample across a spectrum of light. The standard design is simple; a prism or diffraction grating to break ...

Bruker Optics announces the launch of the MOBILE-IR II – a portable, battery-powered Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer that delivers the high spectral performance of a laboratory ...

For decades, bulky spectrometers have been the main tools for understanding how things are made of chemicals (a thing called composition). Spectrometers are a type of lab equipment that uses prisms or ...

Recently, the iGaN Laboratory led by Professor Haiding Sun at the School of Microelectronics, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), together with the team of academician Sheng Liu from ...

Chemical cross-linking (XL) is widely used to investigate protein–protein interactions (PPIs), including transient or low abundance subcomplexes in mass spectrometry workflows. However, identifying ...

Reliable analytical instruments like spectrometers are essential for advancing health care research and diagnostics. However, budgetary constraints often require cost-effectiveness without ...

On July 30, 2018, Western Illinois University was awarded a nearly $300,000 grant to buy a liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer to benefit academic research and educational programs in major areas, ...

Using a mass spectrometer allows scientists to weigh the molecules of an unknown material, which can then be matched to the lab’s database. “We just hold a wood sliver with tweezers and let a ...
