Simplifying the Simultaneous Analysis of Multiple Samples Using Mass Spectrometry

SLU ID 17-029 | Frequency-Modulated Flow Injection Analysis for Multiplexing Analysis by Mass Spectrometry

Background

There are certain benefits to being able to simultaneously analyze multiple samples using mass spectrometry. Methods for multiplexing samples for mass spectrometry analysis are commercially available but they are expensive and limited to multiplexing only 4 to 5 samples.

Overview

Researchers at Saint Louis University and Florida State University have developed a new method to multiplex mass spectrometric sample analysis. The technology enables the simultaneous analysis of many different samples.

Benefits

The potential benefits of this technology include:

• Increasing the number of samples that can be simultaneously analyzed using mass spectrometry

• Minimizing the cost of mass spectrometry analysis

Applications

The potential applications of this technology include:

• Mass spectrometry

Opportunity

Saint Louis University is seeking a partner to further develop and commercialize this technology.
