2004 AUG 4 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- ESA, Inc., a bioanalytical instrumentation company, has successfully utilized its flagship electrochemical (EC) systems in conjunction with a mass spectrometer (MS) to greatly expand the number and types of molecules for analysis.
The EC systems (Coulochem, CoulArray, or the new DiscovArray, according to the company easily integrated into virtually any mass spectrometer or LCMS system), can be used as a tool to oxidize/ionize many different types of compounds.
Many bioanalytical groups suffer from having to analyze a number of poorly ionizing compounds or samples in a mass spectrometer. Typical ionization ...
