unusual facts about spectrometry


Gunshot residue

In the latest ASTM Standard Guide for GSR analysis by Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (SEM-EDX) particles containing lead, antimony and barium, and respecting some rules related to the morphology and to the presence of other elements are considered characteristic of GSR.


AGML

AGML 2.0 data structure can store data, both gel and mass spectrometry, and experimental methods through the use of MI2DG.

Alexander Makarov

Alexander Alexeyevich Makarov, Russian inventor in the field of mass spectrometry

Bioanalysis

The most frequently used techniques are: liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) for 'small' molecules and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for macromolecules

Capillary electrophoresis

Capillary electrophoresis was first combined with mass spectrometry by Richard D. Smith and coworkers, and provides extremely high sensitivity for the analysis of very small sample sizes.

George Preti

He received his B.S. in Chemistry from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn in 1966, and his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry in 1971 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with a specialty in Organic Mass Spectrometry in the laboratory of Professor Klaus Biemann.

Ion-mobility spectrometry–mass spectrometry

Earl W. McDaniel has been called the father of ion mobility mass spectrometry.

JEOL

The company's direct analysis in real time (DART) mass spectrometry system has appeared on the television program CSI: NY.

Kevin Downard

He convened and chaired the Sir Mark Oliphant Conference on Proteomics in 2003 and the biennial mass spectrometry conference (ANZSMS22, 2009), and led and co-ordinated the first proteomics course at Sydney.

LECO Corporation

LECO carries out research in many fields of analytical chemistry including protein measurement in foods, sulfur in coal emissions, glow discharge emission in metals, multi-dimensional gas chromatograph mass spectrometry, environmental monitoring, air quality, Metabolomics, and diverse medical and pharmaceutical applications.

MacLafferty

Fred McLafferty (1923-), an American chemist known for his work in mass spectrometry

Protein fingerprinting

Peptide mass fingerprinting, a method developed in 1993 that uses protein mass spectrometry following SDS-PAGE

Ron Appel

The group developed proteomics software and databases, in particular the Melanie 2-D gel electrophoresis analysis software and the SWISS-2DPAGE database, as well as tools for the identification and characterization of proteins using mass spectrometry.
