Identifying and Discovering Marine Lipid Biomarkers Using LOBSTAHS
Discovering and identifying molecular biomarkers in large LC–MS data sets requires automation without loss of accuracy. Benjamin Van Mooy from the Wood Hole Oceanographic Institution reveals a lipidomics strategy using LOBSTAHS to identify lipid, oxidized lipid, and oxylipin biomarkers in high mass accuracy HPLC– MS data.
Conserve Helium, Maintain Methods, and Save Budget with Innovative GC Module
A look at solutions that optimize the use of helium as a carrier gas in GC and GC-MS instrumentation. The current shortage of the supply of helium may affect laboratory production and planning, create uncertainty in instrument uptime, and result in unpredictable supply costs. Alternative approaches have limitations including safety and regulation.
