Major food adulteration and contamination events occur with alarming regularity and are
known to be episodic, with the question being not if but when another large-scale food …

Mass spectrometry (MS) techniques are highly prevalent in crime laboratories, particularly
those coupled to chromatographic separations like gas chromatography (GC) and liquid …

In this review we highlight the general change in perception in the field of ambient mass
spectrometry that it is the immediacy of sample preparation that differentiates the ambient …

Forensic evidentiary backlogs are indicative of the growing need for cost-effective, high-
