Next-Generation Mass Spectrometry

EMSL is committed to offering state-of-the-art instruments to its users. At a workshop in January of 2008, EMSL mass spectrometry experts joined experts from many universities, private companies, and government institutions and laboratories at a conference held at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee Florida. Workshop participants reviewed the state of the art of high-performance mass spectrometers, evaluated whether newly developed magnet technology could deliver significantly enhanced performance, and described the science drivers for developing next-generation mass spectrometry instrumentation.
