Weight says a lot. In the kitchen, it could mean cooking with too little or too much of an ingredient. For scientists, a ...

In mass spectrometry, a sample is analyzed to determine its molecular composition through the generation of a spectrum that reveals the masses of its component parts. A transfer line introduces the ...

NASA has funded Southwest Research Institute’s Environmental Analysis of the Bounded Lunar Exosphere (ENABLE) project, which aims to return mass spectrometry to the lunar surface. The three-year, ...

How does Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometry Work? Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometry (MIMS) relies on the principles of mass spectrometry and the selective permeability of membranes that allow the passage ...

While many people often use spectroscopy and spectrometry interchangeably, there are some subtle differences in their exact meanings and the associated experimental techniques they are used to ...

The mass spectrometer is an instrument which can measure the masses and relative concentrations of atoms and molecules. It makes use of the basic magnetic force on a moving charged particle. It ...

Researchers 3D printed a mini quadrupole mass filter, a key component of a mass spectrometer, that performs as well as some commercial-grade devices. It can be fabricated in hours for a few dollars ...
