Metabolomics is the systematic study of all the metabolites present within a biological
system, which consists of a mass of molecules, having a variety of physical and chemical …

Major food adulteration and contamination events seem to occur with some regularity, such
as the widely publicised adulteration of milk products with melamine and the recent …

This review discusses advances in the field of ambient sampling/ionization mass
spectrometry (“ambient MS” for short) with a focus on mechanistic and instrumentation …

Untargeted, global metabolite profiling (often described as metabonomics or metabolomics)
represents an expanding research topic and is, potentially, a major pillar for systems biology …

MS has evolved as a critical component in metabolomics, which seeks to answer biological
questions through large-scale qualitative and quantitative analyses of the metabolome. MS …

This biennial review discusses advances in the field of ambient sampling/ionization mass
spectrometry (“ambient MS” for short) in the period ranging from January 2009 to January …

Ambient ionization mass spectrometry (AIMS) has grown into a group of emerging analytical
techniques that allow rapid, real-time, high-throughput, in situ, and in vivo analysis in many …

Direct analysis in real time (DART) is an ambient ionization technique undergoing rapid
development. With minimal sample pre-treatment, ionization of analyte molecules outside …

Positive ions in the direct analysis in real time (DART) ion source are commonly formed by
proton transfer. However, the DART source is similar to atmospheric pressure …

The metabolome is the set of small molecular mass compounds found in biological media,
