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.
