Mass spectrometry offers several advantages, making it a valuable tool in bioanalytical sciences:
High Sensitivity: MS can detect low-abundance analytes, enabling the analysis of trace components in complex mixtures. High Specificity: MS can distinguish between molecules with similar masses, providing accurate identification and quantification. Versatility: MS can analyze a wide range of sample types, including proteins, peptides, lipids, nucleic acids, and small molecules. Structural Information: MS can provide detailed structural information about molecules, including their molecular weight, sequence, and modifications.
