Detailed characterization of complex biological surfaces by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) requires instrumentation that is capable of high mass resolving power, mass accuracy and dynamic range. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass sp...
Analysis of bacterial composition using rapid evaporative ionisation mass spectrometry (REIMS) allows for the detection of metabolites that may be considered specific to particular taxons. This database of 3274 isolates covering gram positive and negative bacteria across 5 phyla, 12 classes, 24 o...
INTRODUCTION: Mass spectrometry based metabolomics has become a promising complement and alternative to transcriptomics and proteomics in many fields including in vitro systems pharmacology. Despite several merits, metabolomics based on liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC...
Sebum is a biofluid excreted by sebaceous glands in the skin. In recent years sebum has been shown to contain endogenous metabolites diagnostic of disease, with remarkable results for Parkinson’s Disease. Given that sebum sampling is facile and non-invasive, its potential for use in clinical bioc...
Polygonum minus Huds., commonly referred to as kesum, is a traditional medicinal plant in Malaysia known for its unique fragrance attributed to its volatile compounds. The essential oil extracted from P. minus displayed various benefits, comprised of antioxidant, antimicrobial and antica...
