App of the Month: Mass Spectrometry Peaks
APP NAME: Mass Spectrometry Peaks
OFFERED BY: rpor
PLATFORMS: Android (requires 2.2 and up)
WHAT IT DOES: The Mass Spectrometry Peaks app is designed to calculate the chemical formula from exact mass measured in mass spectrometry. The formula calculation supports the elements C, H, N, O, P, and S. According to the company, the app requires the input of the monoisotopic mass, its charge, and the ionizing molecule. The chemical formula reportedly is automatically checked for even electron content and mass distribution for the different elements.

Glucose Monitoring for Diabetes Using Non-Invasive Raman Spectroscopy
February 5th 2025Researchers at the Institute of Photonics and Photon-Technology, Northwest University, China, have described a non-invasive method for monitoring blood glucose using Raman spectroscopy. Their study, published in Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, explores the technique’s effectiveness in both animal models and human subjects, showing promise for future clinical applications.
Advancing Zebrafish Research: FT-IR Imaging Sheds Light on Tissue Preservation in Zebrafish
February 5th 2025Researchers at the University of Lublin and the Medical University of Lublin have demonstrated the first application of FT-IR imaging in zebrafish larvae, revealing that frozen samples better preserve tissue structure than chemical fixation.
