Rapid Analysis of Selected Benzodiazepines by Automated SPE–MS-MS
Because of the abuse of benzodiazepenes , there is a need for improved methods for their analysis. How can these compounds be analyzed faster and more cheaply than using traditional LC–MS-MS?

Nonconventional Alternatives to LC–MS
New solution-based ionization methods provide exciting opportunities for coupling LC to MS — for extending MS to areas of high performance characterization as well as to areas where cost, robustness, and simplicity are important, such as in clinical settings — including ways to circumvent the use of LC altogether.
Ion Manipulation by Digital Waveform Technology
Digital waveform technology is emerging as a powerful tool in MS, and is poised to radically alter our ability to explore complex biological systems.
Featured App note
Trace Portable Explosives Detection
Mass spectrometry (MS) is considered to be the gold standard in chemical detection due to the speed, selectivity, sensitivity, and versatility of the method. A miniaturized, linear ion trap, mass spectrometer can rapidly detect and unequivocally identify chemical targets that reduce the cost to analyze field samples and, more importantly, eliminate gaps in security because actionable information can be obtained on timescales that are relevant for security personnel
