Modular high-end mass spectrometer for ultra-sensitive quantification and imaging of small organic molecules in cross-health research (MSsmall-XH) Ghent University
Current high-throughput multi-omics technologies, complemented by revolutionary micro- and nanoscopic imaging tools, offer unique opportunities for holistic research and gaining pathophysiological insights of diseases in both humans and animals. However, the accurate and specific quantification of small organic molecules currently faces two major challenges: 1) the increasing availability of micro-samples of biological origin with increasingly smaller sizes and volumes leads to the increasing need for ultra-sensitive quantification at the sub-pg/g (mL) level; 2) the unmet need for imaging ...
