What is LCMS?

LCMS stands for Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. It's 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 molecules in a sample, and is particularly useful for analyzing complex mixtures of organic compounds, such as proteins, peptides, metabolites, and pharmaceuticals. It's used in a wide range of applications, including drug discovery, environmental monitoring, food safety, and clinical diagnostics.
