Biomass fast pyrolysis is potentially one of the cheapest routes toward renewable liquid
fuels. Its commercialization, however, poses a multi-scale challenge, which starts with the …

Mass spectrometry (MS) imaging links molecular information and the spatial distribution of
analytes within a sample. In contrast to most histochemical techniques, mass spectrometry …

Combustion is directly related to energy conversion and the environment. Gas-phase
chemical reactions such as thermal decomposition, oxidation and recombination play a …

Over the past decade, mass spectrometry has been revolutionized by access to instruments
of increasingly high mass-resolving power. For small molecules up to∼ 400 Da (eg, drugs …

This tutorial review presents the technique of infrared multiple-photon dissociation (IRMPD)
spectroscopy of mass-selected trapped ions. This requires coupling of a tunable infrared …

Novel techniques for acquiring metabolomics data continue to emerge. Such data require
proper storage in suitably configured databases, which then permit one to establish the size …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is operationally defined as the fraction that will pass
through a filter of a nominal pore size (usually between 0.1 and 1.0 μm). DOM accounts for …

The ability of Paul and Penning traps to contain ions for time periods ranging from
milliseconds to minutes allows the trapped ions to be subjected to laser irradiation for …

In the pharmaceutical field, there is considerable interest in the use of peptides and proteins
for therapeutic purposes. There are various ways to characterize such complex samples, but …

The recent proliferation of novel mass spectrometers such as Fourier transform, QTOF, and
OrbiTrap marks a transition into the era of precision mass spectrometry, providing a 2 orders …
