Using Mass Spectrometry to provide accurate chemical and bio-measurements

This paper describes  three examples of mass spectrometry based projects delivered under the Chemical and Biological Metrology programme. The first is an example of LGC's core National Measurement Institute (NMI) activity in providing traceable reference values and materials to support UK industry to meet legislative requirements. The second example shows the development of this core capability to move into new areas of application. The third example describes a novel and growing application of mass spectrometry to study the spatial distribution of organic compounds and associated elements (imaging MS) within a biological sample.
