Mass spectrometry has long been a key tool for analyzing chemical compounds, and its role is expanding. New advances now allow scientists to separate and study drug enantiomers — molecules that are chemically identical but possess vastly different pharmacological properties. In this webinar, John McLean will discuss an ion mobility mass spectrometry method that directly and rapidly distinguishes and quantifies these mirror-image compounds for reducing impurities and improving drug safety.
Topics to be covered:
- Ultrafast gas-phase enantiomer separations with ion mobility mass spectrometry
- Evaluating how much of each enantiomer is present in a mixture
- Measuring impurities in chiral drug formulations
