Examples of "spectrometry" in Sentences
- Mass spectrometry is a very widely used method for small and medium-sized molecules.
- Mass spectrometry is a very important analytical method used in practically all chemistry laboratories the world over.
- Doping and drug tests, foodstuff control and environmental analysis are examples of areas where mass spectrometry is now in routine use.
- The Lab uses cutting-edge techniques of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging for metabolite analysis and clinical diagnoses.
- A critical new facility is our triple-stage tandem mass spectrometry unit which allows for the mass screening of dozens of different inherited metabolic disorders.
- Like flow cytometry, gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, the technologies used to detect the presence of the chemicals used in the production of plastic, are well established.
- Mass spectrometry, which is most sensitive in the low molecular weight range, is now a tool used to explore these modified protein molecules and has already revealed a vast number of previously unknown biomarkers.
- Levin has been regularly measuring carbon-14 content in air samples from Germany using a version of a Geiger counter, but Tans and other researchers have recently turned to accelerator mass spectrometry, which is faster and easier to scale up.
