Volatile Organic Compound Profiling of Commercial Poi Products in Fresh and Aged States Using Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography
[Posted: 28 May 2025]
We present a novel pipeline that can collect data from a wide range of biological sample types, taking 1 000 000 lipid measurements per 384 well plate, and analyse the data systemically. We provide evidence of the power of the tool through proof-of-principle studies using edible fish (mackerel, bream, seabass) and colonies of Bombus terrestris. Bee colonies were found to be more like mini-ecosystems and there was evidence for considerable changes in lipid metabolism in bees through key developmental stages….
Identifying the presence of mould on bread by ASAP-MS
[Posted: 6 February 2025]
According to healthline1, any type of bread mould should be assumed to be harmful and not be consumed. Mould is a fungus, which survives by absorbing and digesting the nutrients from the material on which they grow.
Determination of batch production of illicit drugs through MVA statistical modelling using an ASAP MS detector
[Posted: 6 February 2025]
Rapid testing for the detection of illicit materials (e.g. narcotics), onsite, at social gatherings (festivals), transport locations ( airports etc) has been shown to be easily achieved using a small, commercially available, deployable ASAP MS detector with four function library matching.
Systemic analysis of lipid metabolism from individuals to multi-organism systems

Performance Evaluation of an EI&CI Dual Ionization TOFMS Hyphenated with a Flow Modulated GC×GC System
[Posted: 30 October 2024]
The use and compatibility of a dual-ionization TOFMS operating an EI source and a CI source in parallel using a single TOF mass analyzer with flow modulated two-dimensional GC (GC×GC) is described. Important figures of merit of the mass spectrometer that are required for two-dimensional GC hyphenation such as acquisition speed, ion source response, EI/CI switching, the GC transfer, and data alignment are carefully investigated and addressed. Improved fast switching ion optics allow switching in a 100 Hz frequency between EI and CI spectra sampled from the same GC×GC effluent….
Rapid Detection of Illicit Materials: A New Simplified Acquisition and Improved Processing Software for Targeted Compound Detection
[Posted: 28 June 2024]
Rapid testing for detecting illicit materials (e.g., narcotics or energetic materials) at social gatherings (such as festivals) and transport locations (such as airports) is of increasing interest to improve security and public safety. Advances in ambient ionization techniques and the development of small, deployable mass spectrometric systems have made rapid analysis of such samples possible. However, mass spectrometry has traditionally been considered too complex for use as a simple detector due to cumbersome data processing, even for targeted detection.
