Instrument: Mass Spectrometer
General term for instruments used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions; generally used to find the composition of a sample by generating a mass spectrum representing the masses of sample components.
All membrane lipid analyses were performed at MARUM (Bremen, Germany) with an ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) on a Dionex Ultimate 3000RS UHPLC connected to an ABSciEX QTRAP4500 Triple Quadrupole/Ion Trap MS (UHPLC-Triple Quad-MS) via a Turbolon electrospray ion source (ESI).
