Mass spectrometry is a powerful technique that allows scientists to break down and identify the building blocks of just about anything by measuring the mass of the tiny particles of which something is ...

In mass spectrometry, a sample is analyzed to determine its molecular composition through the generation of a spectrum that reveals the masses of its component parts. A transfer line introduces the ...

Stable isotope techniques can help improve soil management and crop nutrition. To ensure the quality of stable isotope analysis through isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), appropriate sample ...

Georgia Tech postdoctoral fellow Jay Forsythe loads a sample into a mass spectrometer. The testing was done to see what compounds were formed by subjecting mixtures of amino and hydroxy acids to ...

When we taught a class of first year chem/biochem majors about spectroscopy, we introduced them to it with a task. It was to dig through bins full of the things shown below (many of them 3D-printed ...
