High-performance miniature linear time-of-flight mass spectrometry as an advantageous tool in a high mass-to-charge range.

A miniature matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization linear time-of-flight mass spectrometer suitable for the high mass-to-charge (/) region is described. The instrument size is roughly 1/50th that of regular instruments, and detailed dimensions and experimental parameters were optimized based on the comprehensive calculation method to provide satisfactory mass resolving power. Observations showed that the performance is limited in the low / range and becomes comparable with that of regular instruments in the mid / range.

Active Humoral Response Reverts Tumorigenicity through Disruption of Key Signaling Pathway.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are amongst the most important breakthroughs in cancer therapeutics. However, high cost and short acting time limits its affordability and clinical application. Therefore, an economical and durable alternative is urgently needed.

A neutralization charge detection method for detecting ions under ambient and liquid-phase conditions.

The neutralization charge detection method detects induction signals produced from the neutralization of electric charges of ions at metal surfaces. The signals are intense and can propagate through phase boundaries for detection. The detection method can detect ions under ambient and liquid-phase conditions with high sensitivity and fast response time.
