The #MetSoc Board of Directors are calling for nominations for new members to join the Board! This is an exciting time to get involved. If you're interested, complete the form by July 18. metabolomicssociety.org/2024-bod-elect…

Channeling the inner Sherlock with mass spectrometry is possible! 🕵🏻🔍 For this #WeekendRead, let’s learn how GC-MS was used in determining the age of ink from printouts! Curious? Read the paper here ➡️bit.ly/4bN9mb8

There are three requirements for any MS analysis of a molecule: mass, volatility, and net charge ➕➖ The last one is critical, as it allows ions to respond to any electric, or in the case of this #Explained post, magnetic fields. 🧲 Meet the magnetic sector MS! #metabolomics

📣 Join the EMN Committee 📣 Applications are open and we want you 🫵🏼 Join us to make a difference, grow your skills, and connect with our community 🌍 July 22 - August 5, 2024 Application call: shorturl.at/qL8Bi Apply here: shorturl.at/9R97Q #EMNCommittee #ECR

Even Sherlock would find #massspec interesting! 🕵🏻🔍 In this #WeekendRead, we’re showcasing how MALDI imaging can enhance fingerprint analysis by revealing additional details missed by conventional forensic methods! 🔬🧪Article 🔗 bit.ly/3XFfvSo #metabolomics #massspec

Last years meeting was great and many HUMAN Doctoral Network fellows joined! We can only encourage people to join this years edition!

If there’s one #trap we’re likely to get into, it’s ion traps 🥁 For this week’s #Explained, we’re looking into how ion traps work! Tell us, what’s a famous #trap you’re familiar with? 🤔🧐 #metabolomics #teammassspec

Is this that “One method to rule them all” for single cell analysis? 🤔In this #WeekendRead, researchers demonstrate a cryogenic dual-SIMS imaging method that produces multiple omics datasets from just one sample! Curious? 🔗bit.ly/3VY7dnx #massspec #metabolomics

The list of fancy MS analyzers (or in this case, detectors) won't be complete without the #Orbitrap 🤩 Currently the preferred for proteomics, Orbitraps have raised the bar in terms of precision, accuracy, and high resolution. Meet the orbitrap in today’s #Explained!

❗New #HUMAN publication alert ❗ What’s the current state of blood microsampling 🩸tech for metabolomics and lipidomics? 🤔 Find out: 🔗bit.ly/4bN9mb8

TQs are the kings of high sensitivity analysis 👑 How about high resolution? 🤔 In this #Explained post, we’re featuring FT-ICR-MS, the current 👑 of HR analysis! #metabolomics #massspec

Chemistry 101 🔖: The way we extract samples will determine what kind of molecules we detect. 💯 In this #WeekendRead, we’re featuring parallel extraction as a way to make #metabolomics more comprehensive! Curious? 🔗bit.ly/3W8HA25 #massspec #metabolomics

Mass can be measured with time.⏰ Introducing the time-of-flight (TOF) mass analyzer—high-resolution with a theoretically unlimited mass range 🤯 TOF mass analyzers function like race tracks: smaller ions travel faster and heavier ions travel slower. #Explained #massspec

We all know that #exercise 🏋🏻‍♀️ can cause changes in the body (muscle building, weight loss, etc). But what happens if we zoom in to the molecular level? 🔬 This #WeekendRead reported that exercise alters tissue-specific proteins at a muscle level 💪🏻 #massspec #proteomics

Summer⛱️ may be seasonal, but the sun 🌞 is year-round! In this #WeekendRead, a multi-omics experiment was conducted to understand how broad spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen can protect your skin, and your skin’s microbiome! Curious? 🔗bit.ly/3AN3voK #sunscreen #metabolomics

New article from our coordinator Michael Witting ! Give it a read! 👍

As we start our #bioinformatics series, let’s dive into the different data formats produced in metabolomics experiments. By default, MS files are acquired and stored in vendor formats that, back in the day, can only be opended by vendor software. 👩🏻‍💻 #Explained #opendata #omics

The challenge of lipid analysis are isomers and isobars. 🧩 However, in this #WeekendRead, researchers demonstrated the use of a miniaturized DESI source coupled to a TQ mass spec in uncovering these molecular doppelgangers! 🧪 Curious? 🔗bit.ly/4e9Il2r #massspec
