LC-MSLiquid chromatography
Capabilities LC-MS/MS LC-MSLiquid chromatography paired with a mass spectrum detector presents a dynamic tool for separation, identification and quantification of molecules. Whereas HPLC is a good isolation instrument, it is limited in its ability to provide pure, single chemical results. But by ionizing and then putting an isolate of interest through the Mass Spectrometer, its discriminant comparison against a database or standard makes identification much more precise. Additionally, this combination allows for isomer detection, which MS alone cannot provide. 1
