This year the conference is taking place at the Hyatt Regency Burlingame/San Francisco. Conference attendees are encouraged to visit LECO and GERSTEL at booth #6 where they can participate in a ChromaTOF® brand software demonstration, pick up a USB containing our recent Metabolomics literature, and learn about our complete line of innovative Separation Science products, including our Pegasus® 4D with GERSTEL Autosampler, which will be on display.

In this application note the High Resolution Time-of-Flight MS (HRT) provides an extra level of confidence when characterizing challenging green leaf tobacco samples. Determining the chemical complexity of tobacco can be done using non-targeted analytical tools such as HRT, giving users a more detailed understanding of the flavor profile and health risks of the tobacco. Read more about how this is done here.

The high sensitivity, peak capacity, and reproducibility of GC-MS have made it one of the most widely used techniques for plant and animal metabolite profiling. In this application note time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) was demonstrated, providing additional benefits in metabolite profiling such as reduced analysis times, effective peak deconvolution, and an ability to interrogate rich data sets repeatedly.
