Over the last decade, few things have had as dramatic an impact on liquid chromatography as the availability and subsequent proliferation of mass spectrometry. Aided in part by lower overall ownership costs and greatly improved technology, mass spectrometry has seen tremendous growth, both in the number of instruments sold and in the number of analysts actively using the equipment. A key challenge when coupling mass spectrometry instruments to liquid chromatography equipment is how to best design the fluid pathway to ensure that optimal results are achieved. In fact, one of the most critical parts of the fluid pathway is the…[Read this article]
