mass spectrometryor mass spectroscopyAnalytic technique by which chemical substances are identified by sorting gaseous ions by mass using electric and magnetic fields. A mass spectrometer uses electrical means to detect the sorted ions, while a mass spectrograph uses photographic or other nonelectrical means; either device is a mass spectroscope. The process is widely used to measure masses and relative abundances of different isotopes, to analyze products of a separation by liquid or gas chromatography, to test vacuum integrity in high-vacuum equipment, and to measure the geological age of minerals.

A recent publication in a biotech journal acknowledges a Top 10 pharmaceutical company has utilized Digilab's sample preparation and fractionation technologies to expose standard and novel diabetes substrates in a Fourier Transform Mass Spectroscopy experimental paradigm (Yates, et al. Determination of Pb and other elements by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy. Using gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy, the team detected a substance called 2-pentylfuran in the breath of people infected with Aspergillus fumigatus but not in people presumed to be free of infection. |
