Abstract:
A method of identifying a related peak set from MS1 spectra data is provided. An intensity peak is selected from MS1 spectra data generated for a sample by a tandem mass spectrometer. A peak location is identified for the selected intensity peak. An intensity score is calculated from the MS1 spectra data for each of a plurality of possible related peak locations based on an intensity value associated with each of the plurality of possible related peak locations. Whether or not any of the plurality of possible related peak locations forms a related peak set is determined based on the calculated intensity score for each of the plurality of possible related peak locations.
Abstract:
An integrated mass spectrometer electrospray emitter and fluorescence detector allows improved volumetric measurements of separate components from a liquid chromatography column by improving correlation between the readings of these instruments and reducing dead volume and sample size requirements.

Abstract:
Imaging by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) requires that a sample be encased in an amorphous solid, such as amorphous ice. In current cryo-EM preparation systems, once the sample has been deposited on an EM grid and coated in the amorphous solid, the EM grid must be removed from vacuum and then transferred into the vacuum of the cryo-EM system. As a result, samples deposited on the grid are exposed to damage and contamination. The present invention provides improved EM grid handling systems and devices compatible with advanced cryo-EM sample preparation techniques and which reduce or eliminate exposure of the sample on the grid to atmosphere and elevated temperatures. These methods and devices will also significantly reduce handling time and complexities associated with cryo-EM sample preparation.
