Recent developments in water status measurement techniques using the psychrometer, the
pressure probe, the osmometer and pressure chamber are reviewed, and the process of cell …

Chemical analysis for the characterisation of micro-organisms is rapidly evolving, after the
recent advent of new ionisation methods in mass spectrometry (MS): electrospray (ES) and …

A new technique for preparing samples for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass
spectrometry (MALDI-MS) is reported. The technique relies on electrowetting-on-dielectric …

The analytical performance of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass
spectrometry for direct analysis of peptide and protein mixtures is strongly dependent on the …

Matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry has been applied over the
past 5 years with increasing success to the analysis of synthetic polymers. Basic principles …

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) has emerged as
a robust analytical technique for the rapid and sensitive analysis of diverse biomolecules …

Heterogeneity is a characteristic feature of all populations of living organisms. Here we
make an attempt to validate a single-cell mass spectrometric method for detection of …

In cellular metabolomics, it is desirable to carry out metabolomic profiling using a small
number of cells in order to save time and cost. In some applications (eg, working with …

Single-cell metabolomics is an emerging field that addresses fundamental biological
questions and allows one to observe metabolic phenomena in heterogeneous populations …

Almost all currently employed analytical “-omics” methods provide data that are averaged
over an entire cell population, but even genetically identical cells exposed to the same …
