Driving high sensitivity in biomolecular MS: improving this key parameter enables novel applications and powers additional techniques.
21 November, 2012 by Bruce Thomson, Chief Scientist, AB SCIEX | Supplied by: AB Sciex Australia Pty LtdMass spectrometry has become a key tool for the analysis of biomolecules in applications that range from discovery of biomarkers to the analysis of drug metabolites. While many of the analytical benchmarks of the mass spectrometer - limit of quantitation or LOQ, signal-to-noise or S/N, dynamic range, mass resolution - are important for these applications, the absolute sensitivity is a key factor that drives these characteristics.
