Imaging Tandem Mass Spectrometry: Reduction to Practice
Currently, tandem mass spectrometry is typically performed by selecting a single mass peak in a time of flight or quadrupole mass spectrometer, which is then fragmented through collision, after which the products are mass-selected in a quadrupole or similar secondary mass spectrometer. A Wayne State University researcher has developed an alternative...

A Portable Physical Therapy Measurement Device
Summary During physical therapy, practitioners often use a variety of measurement devices. All existing approaches fail to establish functional range of motion and anthropomorphic measurements through a single portable device. A Tufts University Investigator has developed a tool that is designed to address this significant gap in a practitioner’s...

Microfluidic platforms for live-cell imaging and bio/pathomimetic tissue models
Background:Methodologies to image and quantify tissue models using high-content analysis (HCI) and functional analyses of 3D avatars are needed as such avatars better recapitulate the phenotype of pathobiological processes and better predict efficacy of, and resistance to, a wide variety of therapies. Furthermore, changes in morphometry, viability,...

Wireless Frequency Domain Near Infrared Spectroscope for Cerebral Studies
Researchers at Tufts University have developed a miniaturized frequency domain near infrared spectroscope (mini-FD-NIRS) allowing for non-invasive measurements of absolute concentrations of oxy/deoxy-hemoglobin and other chromophores in patients and animals. Proof of concept experiments demonstrate that the measurements of chromophore concentrations...

Laser Spray Ionization (LSI) Method for Mass Spectrometry Imaging
Technology Summary: Laser Spray Ionization (LSI) is a novel inlet ionization method for mass spectrometry invented at WSU which can be used to create predominately multiply charged ions from solid samples at atmospheric pressure. Unlike MALDI ionization methods which are typically limited to producing singly charged species for larger molecules, LSI...

Marangoni Optofluidic Tweezers (MOT)
There is currently a great deal of interest in using small droplets as containers for chemical reactions. Optical methods for droplet manipulation are attractive because they offer control without an on chip structure; however forces from optical tweezers tend to be in the pN range. Wayne State University researchers have developed a new method...
