Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique employed to effectively discern the quantity and nature of chemical compounds within a given specimen by assessing the ratio of mass to charge. The inclusion of the mass spectrometer, computing capabilities, and associated software has significantly broadened the scope of applications for MS. This enhanced versatility allows for the analysis of a diverse array of sample types and the acquisition of a wealth of information, thereby enabling the integration of MS into various domains, including but not limited to drug discovery, forensic analysis, clinical diagnostics, environmental analysis, contamination detection, food science etc.
Some of the challenges associated with the MS applications is data management, poor signal intensity, ion suppression, matrix effects etc. The goal is to contribute new knowledge or insights to the field and to understand the full potential of the Mass Spectrometry applications, the challenges encountered with the process while emphasizing the innovative strategies made possible.
We welcome submissions that explore the latest developments and evolving trends in mass spectrometry, its applications, and its role in advancing various scientific fields. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Novel mass spectrometry techniques and instrumentation
• Mass spectrometry in proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics
• Single-cell mass spectrometry
• Mass spectrometry in environmental analysis
• Clinical and pharmaceutical applications of mass spectrometry
• Mass spectrometry in materials science
• Mass spectrometry in space exploration
• Computational methods and data analysis for mass spectrometry
• Emerging applications and interdisciplinary research
Keywords:
Mass Spectrometry, OMICS Drug discovery, Forensic analysis, Antibody purification, Contamination detection, Clinical diagnostics
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
