The use of MS for characterization of small molecules, nucleotides, and proteins in model organisms as well as primary tissues and clinical samples continues to proliferate at a rapid pace. The complexity and dynamic range of target analytes in biological systems hinders comprehensive analysis and simultaneously drives improvements in instrument hardware and software. As a result, state-of-the-art commercial mass spectrometers are equipped with sophisticated embedded control systems that provide robust acquisition methods accessed through intuitive graphical interfaces.
