Article: Researchers from George Washington University provide details of new studies and findings in the area of mass spectrometry.

"Depending on age, phase in the cell cycle, nutrition, and environmental factors, individual cells exhibit large metabolic diversity. To explore metabolic variations in cell populations, laser ablation electrospray ionization (LAESI) mass spectrometry (MS) was used for the in situ analysis of individual cells at atmospheric pressure," researchers in the United States report (see also Mass Spectrometry).

"Single cell ablation was achieved by delivering mid-ER laser pulses through the etched tip of a GeO2-based glass fiber. Metabolic analysis was performed from single cells and small cell populations of Allium cepa and Narcissus pseudonarcissus bulb epidermis, as ...
