Spectrometry (MS) is one of the key analytical methods used to identify and
characterize small quantities of biological molecules embedded in complex
matrices. Although MS has found widespread use, technical improvements in
its instrumentation are needed to extend its application to the grand challenges
that face the environmental, chemical and biomedical sciences. In this talk we
present our progress towards the use of MS for diagnosing ovarian cancer and
heart disease, imaging tissue samples, and a variety of other applications that
benefit from the high information content provided by modern mass spectrometric
experiments. We also describe more fundamental work involving finite element
simulations of ion transport processes at the atmospheric pressure interface of
the mass spectrometer, and experiments with “thermometer molecules” to measure
the degree of ion activation during the ion
generation.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
