Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) is a powerful analytical technique that combines the separation capabilities of liquid chromatography with the identification and quantification strengths of mass spectrometry. In LC-MS, complex mixtures are separated into individual componentts using liquid chromatography, after which mass spectrometry analyzes the separated compounds based on their mass-to-charge ratios. This method is highly sensitive and versatile, making it ideal for a wide range of applications, including pharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, and food safety. LC-MS enables the detection of trace levels of compounds up to ppb levels, providing valuable insights into complex matrices in various  cientific fields.

FARE Labs provides advanced training on Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS).
