We are sad to share news of Jean Futrell's passing. He was a GIANT of mass spec and a MIGHTY advocate & supporter of @asmsnews. Our thoughts are with Jean's family, friends, and colleagues. Learn more about Jean: asms.org/publications/journa… asms.org/about/history/oral-… #TeamMassSpec

Comet's open-source search engine has been a boon for our proteomics methods developments (like real-time search). Over the last two-years we became curious whether Comet's search speeds could be improved to keep pace with modern instruments and large sample cohorts.

Our lab is looking for a postdoc @uwgenome/@UW/@UWISCRM! We tackle a wide range of biological Qs from cell-specific responses to perturbation to molecular consequences of aging. We also work hard on new #TeamMassSpec methods to scale the # of proteomics samples we can analyze.

The #OrbiTOF is published in IJMS. Very satisfying to finally shine light on this decade-long project and unique technology. Could easily have been the next big thing in mass analysis, had the Astral analyzer not proved so promising.

Check out our work on optimized ion detection, now published in JASMS. Here, we have multiple technologies, including 10 kV post-acceleration, electrostatic tilt correction, and a novel ion detector combined into a single assembly. #OrbitrapAstral pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jas…

This @mjmaccoss preprint about QC is too real. Like when your turbo pump explodes and sends shrapnel into every crevice of your mass spec causing problems for half a year. This QC platform help you know when your instrument is actually all clean again :) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Is there any online tool where one can look up the m/z of N15 labelled version of a list of peptides quickly?? Thanks very much.. #TeamMassSpec

The ionization method and source interface have a huge impact on ion internal energy and fragmentation. Check out the pre-print of our new review article. Don't hesitate to send feedback and suggestions while this article is under peer review. doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-20…

This is how we roll! 🛼🚨 In our new paper, we placed our Orbitraps on wheels and moved them through hospital hallways and elevators while acquiring data! We also demonstrate MasSpec Pen analysis in the OR on battery power🔋@BCM_Surgery @BCMFromtheLabs pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
