Cancer biomarker discovery using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry
(2017)Lung cancer is one of the most common types of neoplasm and is a leading cause of death in Canada. Accurate early diagnosis is key to the effective treatment of the disease, however the current means to do so, such as ... -
The effect of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation on lipid composition, oxidative stress, and aldehyde concentrations in rat liver and brain
(2014-01-22)Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production and removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), due to their multiple carbon-carbon double bonds, react readily with ROS ... -
The Potential use of SIFT-MS as a breath diagnostic tool
(2009)The measurement of volatile chemicals in human breath has recently emerged as a non-invasive technique with the potential for the early diagnosis of disease. A benefit of early diagnosis is that treatment plans including ... -
Selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry in plant volatile compound analysis
(2009-07-20)Four monoterpenes and two monoterpenoids, (+)- and DL-limonene, (1S)-(3) carene, terpinolene, cineol and rose oxide, respectively, were studied using selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry. Specifically, the reactions ... -
Using SIFT-MS for detection of beer spoilage bacteria and compounds causing off-flavour in beer
(2014-12-18)Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) was used for detection of spoilage bacteria in wort and beer. Samples were analysed in triplicate using SIFT-MS Full Scan mode to identify volatile compounds in the headspace ...
