Pandemic memories . . .
I want to start by saying that I am tremendously lucky to have had the privilege to hide away from […]
Tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS), mass analyzers, etc.
MS/MS (Tandem MS) comes in many different flavors (e.g. the “triple quadrupole (QqQ), Q-orbitrap (e.g. Q-Exactive), Q-Time of Flight (Q-TOF)), […]
What is metabolomics?
What is metabolomics? My definition: Identifying, measuring and tracking the small biochemical intermediates formed during the making, breaking, and interconversion between biochemical molecules to figure out what organisms are up to.
Mass resolution and mass accuracy in mass spectrometry
When it comes to mass spectrometry, don’t confuse high resolution and accurate mass! High resolution is basically having sharp spectral […]
Retention Indexes
Pay attention to Retention (Time)! In GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) or LC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry), chromatography has two main benefits […]
Chromatography-coupled mass spectrometry graph types, etc.
Chromatography-paired mass spectrometry typically uses mass spectrometry (MS), coupled to liquid chromatography (LC) or gas chromatography (GC) to aid in […]
CRISPR/Cas Science – Gene editing & beyond! (but not without challenges)
Jump to: CRISPR/Cas as a genome editing tool • Non-editing CRISPR/Cas tools • CRISPR/Cas as a therapeutic tool • CRISPR […]
Science behind the headlines: First patient treated with custom CRISPR (to correct a metabolic disorder called CPS1 deficiency)
I heard about this medical breakthrough that connects to what I’ve been teaching about, so I thought I’d share in […]
