Modular high-end mass spectrometer for ultra-sensitive quantification and imaging of small organic molecules in cross-health research (MSSMALL-XH) KU Leuven
The current high-throughput multi-omics technologies, complemented with revolutionary micro- and nanoscopic imaging tools, offer amazing opportunities for holistic investigation and pathophysiologic understanding of diseases in both man and animals. However, the accurate and specific quantification of small organic molecules currently faces two major challenges: 1) the increasing availability of microsamples from biological origin having ever smaller sizes requires the increasing need for ultrasensitive quantification up to sub-pg/g (mL) level; 2) the unmet need for imaging and spatial ...
