OPEN-ACCESS UPLC/MASS SPECTROMETRY SOLUTIONS FOR ANALYTICAL SUPPORT LABORATORIES

Open-access mass spectrometry has been successfully implemented by analytical chemistry support laboratories as an effective way of rapidly characterizing synthetic compounds and answering complex structural questions. These questions include issues such as correct formula (nominal mass), reaction completion (OA LC/MS), purity (UV and ELSD), and structural elucidation (HR-MS in conjunction with NMR).
