News on mass spectrometry technology and applications in genetics, genomics, and molecular diagnostics.
The study is one of several recent efforts to detect bacteria directly with mass spec, which could eliminate the need for culturing and speed turnaround time.
While the approach lost some of its luster after failing to deliver on early hype, technological improvements are revitalizing interest among researchers.
The method could prove useful both for studying tumor immunology and in the development of cancer immunotherapies, said one of the researchers.
The partners will more thoroughly connect Protein Metrics' software suite and Sciex's high-resolution accurate mass (HRAM) spectrometry systems.
Gathering last week in Australia, the community continued its years-long push towards increased clinical relevance and integration with other omics disciplines.
