Join us on the expo floor August 19-21 in Boston, MA for the annual Fall American Chemical Society conference. Here you will have many opportunities to learn about Advion’s suite of mass spec products and novel sample techniques.  Please stop by booth #1908 to learn more about Advion’s full array of MS tools for chemists.

This year, we are hosting a workshop titled, “Mobile Mass Spectrometry: Taking the laboratory to the Field” featuring Dr. Heather Walker of the University of Sheffield Plant Production and Protection team.
Date/Time/Location: Tuesday, August 21, 9:30-10:30a – Room 1 on the Conference Floor
Description: When instant mass analysis became paramount to the Sheffield University Plant Production and Protection (P3) team, they took the laboratory directly to the field utilizing the expression Compact Mass Spectrometer from Advion. The system provides direct sample analysis of liquids, solids and powders and provides mass spectral information within seconds. This enabled the Sheffield team to obtain rapid detection of metabolite markers in plant samples within the field environment, rather than waiting days for results from the lab.

This workshop features the research led by Professor Mike Burrell and Dr. Heather Walker, highlighting how they turned their SUV into a mobile mass spec unit, capable of screening the fields to obtain rapid metabolite analysis of several different varieties of wheat.

“The utilization of this equipment is of huge benefit as it allows the knowledge that we have gained in the laboratory to be transferred and monitored quickly and easily in the field,” said Dr. Walker. “Using this technology can provide higher detail data on crops in the field than previously possible.

Background: The American Chemical Society National Meeting takes place in the spring and fall each year, offering the latest in chemistry developments, achievements and awards. The 2018 ACS fall meeting is in Boston, MA, August 19-23. The expo floor where Advion will be located is open August 19-21. We hope to see you at ACS Fall 2018!

Infusion based Lipidomics analysis (Shotgun Lipidomics) is an analysis strategy that emerged in the last 15 years and involves the liquid extraction of lipids from samples such as blood, tissue homogenates or dried blood spots. As a next step, the extract will be automatically processed for nano-electrospray nESI followed by targeted or global mass spectrometry detection of lipids in the absence of liquid chromatography.

Shotgun Lipidomic experiments can be designed as relative or absolute quantitative assays utilizing the mass spectrometer intensity data and significant computer processing to investigate changes in e.g free fatty acids by principle component analysis. This approach is suitable for a wide range of biomedical questions of lipid differentiation and lipid flux in the field of metabolic disease, neurological disorders, cancers or eye diseases, to state a few.
