Using Fluorous Tags to Mass Differentiate Stereospecific Reactions

Posted on February 14, 2012 by Marv

Trent Northen and co-workers have been using fluorous immobilization in conjunction with nanostructure initiated mass spec (NIMS) in a number of different applications.  Dr. Northen was one of the inventors of NIMS while working in Gary Siuzdak’s labs at The … Continue reading →
