Development of Chemical Isotope Labeling Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry on Quadrupole-Orbitrap Mass Spectrometers for Metabolome Analysis
DownloadFall 2023
Chemical isotope labeling liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (CIL LC-MS) is a powerful technique in metabolomics, offering extensive coverage of the metabolome. This method involves dividing metabolites into sub-groups based on their functional groups and subjecting them to specific labeling...
