Mass Spectrometry

Trends in Analytical Instrumentation and Equipments

The use of LCMS has become a paramount in two dimensional hyphenated technology to be useful in a wide assortment of analytical and bioanalytical techniques of nucleic acids, amino acids, peptides, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and etcetera and in categorizing the field of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics. Current trends are may be gripped of  mass analyzers, ionization protocols, fast LC–MS, LC–MALDI-MS, ion mobility spectrometry used in LC–MS, quantitation issues specific to MS and emerging mass spectrometric approaches which are complementary base in LC–MS are also discussed to focus on the recent innovations in LC–MS especially from the last decade and then to enlist  mass spectrometers offered currently by main manufacturers for LC–MS and MALDI-MS configurations together with the technical specifications. The forthcoming supplements in LC-MS could be emphasized on Bioanalysis, Aspects in Clinical Chemistry, Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Compounds
