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...
RATIONALE: There is increasing interest in methods of direct analysis mass spectrometry that bypass complex sample preparation steps.
METHODS: One of the most interesting new ionisation methods is rapid evaporative ionisation mass spectrometry (REIMS) in wh...
MAVEN, an open-source software program for analysis of LC-MS metabolomics data, was originally released in 2010. As mass spectrometry has advanced in the intervening years, MAVEN has been periodically updated to reflect this advancement. This manuscript describes a major update to the program, MA...
Horticulturists are interested in evaluating how cultivar, environment, or production system inputs can affect postharvest quality. Ambient mass spectrometry approaches enable analysis of minimally processed samples under ambient conditions and offer an attractive high-throughput alternative for ...
