Mass spectrometry goes mainstream

MDs remain sceptical as chelation therapy goes mainstream in Saskatchewan.

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan recently agreed to allow physicians to administer chelation therapy. Supporters, relying on anecdotal evidence, say it works wonders in overcoming heart disease, but many physicians remain profoundly sceptical. In Saskatchewan, the college decision has proved popular with patients but has drawn an angry reaction from doctors.

Identification of aflatoxins by quadrupole mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry.

MS/MS daughter experiments were recorded for aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2, M1, M2, and aflatoxicol, using 3 ionization modes. Daughters were recorded from the molecular ion (M+) using electron impact ionization (EI). Daughters from the protonated molecules (MH+) were recorded in the positive ion mode and the daughters from the molecular anion (M-) were recorded in the negative ion mode using chemi...

A mass spectrometry primer for mass spectrometry imaging.

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), a rapidly growing subfield of chemical imaging, employs mass spectrometry (MS) technologies to create single- and multi-dimensional localization maps for a variety of atoms and molecules. Complimentary to other imaging approaches, MSI provides high chemical specificity and broad analyte coverage. This powerful analytical toolset is capable of measuring the distr...
