LC-MS Insights

What is LC-MS?

LC-MS stands for Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. It is an analytical chemistry technique that combines the separation capabilities of liquid chromatography (LC) with the mass analysis capabilities of mass spectrometry (MS). It is commonly used to identify and quantify different substances in a sample, particularly in fields like pharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, food science, and proteomics.
