Could this be your MS system of the future? Considering the success of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in recent years in yielding smaller, more capable instruments with increasingly adept software, could those who require MS' specificity, and who can justify a more narrow definition of a purpose-built system, turn to something even more streamlined?

In an astonishingly short time, mass spectrometer manufacturers have developed highly capable, compact instruments that integrate well with advanced liquid chromatography (LC) systems. Driving that achievement are breakthroughs in technology [...]
