Boston University School of Medicine Collaborates With Bruker
Bruker Daltonics announced that it has established a collaboration with the Mass Spectrometry Resource laboratory at the Boston University School of Medicine.
Bruker Daltonics (Billerica, Massachusetts) has established a collaboration with the Mass Spectrometry Resource laboratory of Professor Catherine Costello at the Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) (Boston, Massachusetts). The collaborative effort will focus on the application of high-performance ion trap mass spectrometry and Fourier transform mass spectrometry to glycomics and proteomics applications.
Professor Costello is a Research Professor of Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Chemistry, and the Director of the BUSM Center for Biomedical Mass Spectrometry. Her laboratory is a resource center sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, where mass spectrometry is applied to the study of biopolymers by local, national, and international collaborators. Professor Costello and her group are recognized internationally as experts in the analysis of the complex structures of carbohydrates and their conjugates.
New SERS-Microfluidic Platform Classifies Leukemia Using Machine Learning
January 14th 2025A combination of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and machine learning on microfluidic chips has achieved an impressive 98.6% accuracy in classifying leukemia cell subtypes, offering a fast, highly sensitive tool for clinical diagnosis.
Advancing Soil Carbon Analysis Post-Wildfire with Spectroscopy and Machine Learning
January 14th 2025Researchers from the University of Oviedo used diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and machine learning (ML) to analyze post-wildfire soil organic carbon fractions, identifying key spectral regions and algorithms for advancing remote sensing applications.
Oligonucleotide Analysis in Pharmaceutical Quality Control
January 14th 2025Melting point determination using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry can be used as a sequence-specific method for identifying therapeutic oligonucleotides in pharmaceutical quality control. This method offers a simple, highly selective approach to differentiate between isomers and ensure the integrity of oligonucleotide active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug products.
The Optical Properties of Solid Samples
January 14th 2025Transmittance and reflectance measurements, which are useful for estimating the effects of various physical processes, can include thermal treatments, ionizing radiation exposure, optical exposure, and mechanical treatments—on both crystals and thin films.
