mass spectrometry
Definition
An analytical technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ionized molecules for identification and quantification. In proteomics, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) identifies and quantifies proteins in complex mixtures. MALDI-TOF MS is used for rapid microbial identification and oligonucleotide quality control in primer manufacturing.
In Practice
mass spectrometry is widely used in lab techniques and related fields. Key applications include:
- Research and experimental design in molecular biology laboratories
- Clinical diagnostics and therapeutic development pipelines
- Automated validation within VigyanLLM's 24-step primer design and analysis framework
